Before answering the question, it is convenient to mention that James Baldwin was a Black writer in the decade of the 50s and even though there were other Negro Writers in the literary world, they all suffered from racisms and social prosecution, the novel “Notes of a native Son” is an autobiography assembled from essays James Baldwin had written. In the novel the author intends to depict the hatred black people had to suffer at that time and it is overtly presented in the excerpt above, when the author mentions that: “…the spoils of injustice, anarchy, discontent, and hatred were all around us.”

Having mentioned the former, the sentence that best explains how the structure of the excerpt supports the author's purpose is: “d.it interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.” With this sentence we can find the perfect reason for expressions like “injustice, anarchy, discontent, and hatred “…the violence which rose all about us as my father left the world had been devised as a corrective for the pride of his eldest son.” which are the main and strongest arguments presented in the excerpt, all the hatred and suffering that the author suffered for being a Negro at that time.

Alex

Answer:

Explanation:

A good teacher always works hard at being a good student. The admiration shown for a student's skill is genuine if it is genuine. Make sure that education is a two way street.

A good student always has respect for the subject matter he is studying even if he is not particularly good at it. He/she knows that maybe he or she can't do it, but that does not mean it is useless, or to be despised. Respect everything you are exposed to; sometimes the person who proposed the idea took a lifetime to be able to write the conclusions to what he found.
