<span>The purpose of a character foil is to offer a contrast to another character, usually the protagonist. This, thereby, helps deepen the foiled character's personality, since he has something to battle against, to essentially fight for his values and/or methods. Basically, it heightens the characterization of the other character. </span>
Here's how I see it. For a long time throughout many generations, women and kids didn't have rights. It was always the man of the house who brought home the bacon and controlled the house. Slowly but surely women started to get rights (like voting, being able to do more jobs and generally more things, and even though there is still a wage gap they got payed more over time), but kids didn't start having a voice until, let's say, until 3 generations ago. With advances in technology, kids started to have more of a voice and more of a role in general. A long time ago kids were factory workers as well, which is kinda out of place to put here but I just remembered so the more you know I guess. Anyways, kids started getting more educated, getting more legal rights, and with technology, much more of a voice. Kids are on social media now, child actors (like Millie Bobby Brown) are fighting for women's rights and are helping to fund charities. Kids can create youtube channels, they can create Instagram accounts, they can do anything with technological advancements today. Kids can do basically anything adults can. My mom, who is a baby boomer, talked about the fact that when she was a kid, kids were to be seen, not to be heard. Kids weren't really acknowledged by adults and were often disregarded as idiots until they became legal adults, but now a 13 year-old could have an intellectual conversation about politics with a 50 year old. So, to answer your question, yes, the role of a child has been one of the greatest shifts over time. The way it effects families can be for the better or for worse. I think it's mostly for the better. Kids can speak out now, they can learn more and do more. They have the ability to become an adults as a child, if that makes any sense. Kids are evolving now and will be for forever. I think that because kids have a voice now more than ever, it's a good thing. Kids should be smart and should be heard, and the fact that some kids are able to invent things or challenge adults to trying new things or having intellectual conversations is amazing!!! I hope this helped, sorry that this question is 2 weeks old, brainy just suggested it to me. Good luck with school!
Answer:
The tone the playwright convey through Bobo's words "Man, willy is gone" in the excerpt from 'A Raisin in the sun' by Lorraine Hansberry is that of Shock and disbelief because Willy has stolen his and Walter's money.
Explanation:
Lorraine Hansberry convey the tone of Shock and disbelief through Bobo's words. Walter and Bobo were convinced by Willy to form a partnership and makean investment in the Liquor store plan because of their joblessness. Therefore Willy convinced them that the liquor store is the best idea for them and this made them invest their life savings.
But, unfortunately Willy disappears with their money and this made them completely broke and dejected. Bobo then realized that Willy will not show up and that all their money is gone hence his shock and disbelief.
