<u>Answer:</u>

<em>"My father is a simple man" is a simple poem in which there is a difference in the theme and the purpose of the author. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The theme of the poem is that the essence of the life is "perpetual". The "true essence" of life is patience and kindness. However, the purpose of the writer is to raise issues on life and the perceptions of its meaning to different individuals. His purpose is to question the individuals of what the poem intends and the what the "meaning of life" to the individuals is.

1.What hardship did people face during the Great Depression?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

I hope this answer is correct

Explanation:

1.More important was the impact that it had on people's lives: the Depression brought hardship, homelessness, and hunger to millions. jobs, were evicted from their homes and ended up in the streets. Some slept in parks or sewer pipes, wrapping themselves in newspapers to fend off the cold.

2.Bud is running away from the Amoses. He calls it “being on the lam.” He is aware that he looks out of place, so he decides the safest thing to do is head for the library where Miss Hill, a librarian, might be able to help him. Bud plans to hide in the library's basement until the building opens.

3.In the book Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis, there are four main themes. They are the importance of family, hope and perseverance, and the effects of racism.

4.In Chapter 5, Bud's mother tells him to remember that no matter how bad things look, "when one door closes, don't worry, because another door opens" (Curtis 43). Angela Caldwell's metaphor regarding the opening and closing of doors represents Bud's challenges and opportunities that he encounters throughout his life. Bud endures many trials and tribulations throughout the novel and every time he seems to have failed, another opportunity presents itself that Bud is able to take advantage of. For instance, when Bud misses the train to Chicago he is forced to walk towards Owosso and eventually gets picked up by Lefty Lewis, who takes him to Grand Rapids. After missing the train, Bud is upset and feels that he will never meet his father, but when Lefty Lewis arrives, another "door opens" which leads Bud in the right direction. When Bud initially meets Herman Calloway, he believes that Herman is his father. Herman views Bud with contempt and Bud begins to worry that he will be sent back to Flint, Michigan. Later on, it is revealed that Herman is actually Bud's grandfather, and Bud lives happily with the Dusky Devastators of the Depression. Essentially, the "door closes" when Bud finds out that Herman is not his father, but another "door opens" when he discovers that he is Herman's grandchild. Bud's entire journey is a series of negative and positive experiences that correlate with his mother's metaphor of doors opening and closing.

Tone- how the narrator/speaker feels towards the events of the narrative they are describing
Mood- how the piece makes us—the reader—feel
Evidence- examples of the literary devices the author used and how they were used (diction, metaphor, imagery, contrast, etc.)

Paragraph #1:
The tone (coming from the narrator) is joyous, lively, and sentimental
The mood (to the reader) is warm, festive, and personal
EVIDENCE: Imagery of pleasant sensations like “bright lights” the “smell of cookies and cider,” “bright packages,” and the “warm room” as well as the selected vocabulary of “gleamed,” “hummed,” and “playfully,” demonstrate the narrator’s comfort, familiarity, and enjoyment of the holidays while indicating to the reader that this is a safe, happy, and celebratory time.

Paragraph #2:
The tone is depressed and disheartened
The mood is bleak and expired
EVIDENCE: words like “long, cold winter” “dry, brittle (tree),” and the juxtaposition (contrast) between putting “decorations back into their boxes” with the past “finery” of the house show the narrator’s disappointed feelings towards the end of the holiday season and the general “sigh” of the house.
