Answer:

D. Poverty isolates African Americans from the mainstream of American society.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes the meaning of the excerpt. In these lines, the author presents an image of isolation when it comes to African Americans. We learn that African Americans are on an "island" which is surrounded by material property. The implication is that African Americans as a group are poorer than other groups in society, and that this isolates them in the same way as if they were located on an island.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

1. Sinuhe felt compelled to leave Egypt because he wanted to became a Bedouin and lead a life under a new leader named Renetu who was an Asiatic leader. He was a man not looking for power or authority but a challenging life of a warrior.

2. He yearn to return because he felt the most protected in Egypt where he was always respected for his services to the king. He missed that life of dignity and grandeur in Egypt.

3. The young readers shall learn courage and bravery from Sinuhe who lived like a warrior and died like one. He does not became comfortable in his grand life at the royal palace. He always yearned for change and was calm in adversity.

Explanation:

During Sinuhe exile to Syria, he met his leader Renetu who was a tribal leader and married to his eldest daughter. He also earned the title of commander of military in Syria. However, when he aged, he wanted to go back to his roots in Egypt even after having a family at Syria. One life-changing night at Syria, Sinuhe confronted an attack on his life by a warrior. He fought with him and won but started missing Egypt more. He began to think that power as a military commander in Syria did not bought him loyalty. He wanted to live his last days in peace and was tired of protecting himself in the battle field.

He was fortunate that the king of Egypt also wanted to see him and sent him a letter. He was happy at the thought of going back to his old life and decided to return to Egypt. Hence, he made his eldest son the leader of tribe in Syria and went back to his roots.

This story shows a determination of a man who left everything behind to achieve what he wants. Sinuhe was not only determined but is also tied to his roots which brought him back to his motherland.
