Maya Angelou was a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. How did she<br> use poetry to deal with it?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

She wrote poetry to express her problems. She didn't want everyone to know exactly what she was dealing with, but just in a round about way. She didn't talk for years before hand, because she thought it was all her fault and words were to powerful. So she used poetry to describe how she felt or how she feels like after.

Read the excerpt from Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The words from the excerpt that best help the reader determine a tone of distress are:

B. "sob," "groped," and "dragging"

Explanation:

<u>Tone is conveyed through word choice, in literature. It helps readers understand what the narrator and/or other characters are feeling, or what the situation is supposed to inspire in readers. </u>The only way for the author to convey such sensations and emotions is by choosing words that are connected to them.

<u>In the passage we are analyzing here, the words "sob," "groped," and "dragging" convey distress. Distress means extreme anxiety or extreme sorrow, suffering, affliction. A person who is not feeling anxious, sad, or suffering is not likely to sob, to grope, or to drag.</u> Lighter words would be used to describe them. <u>Now, if people drag their feet and grope around while sobbing, we can sense they are distressed.</u>
