In this excerpt from Ingrid Jonker’s poem, “The child is not dead,” the “child” most likely refers to the struggle for freedom.

Jonker wrote her poem after going to the Philippi police station and seeing the body of a child who had been shot dead in his mother's arms by the police in the township of Nyanga in Cape Town. In 1960, 69 people were killed while marching to the police station to protest having to carry passbooks to travel in their own native country in Sharpeville, south of Johannesburg.

<em>The poem evokes the struggle and longing for freedom while being violently oppressed.</em>

" Crooks has his own room , furniture , and books . Hence , he is better off than the other ranch hands . He is NOT a victim of
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

I disagree with the statement that "Crooks is NOT a victim of racism". This is because, the possession of books, furniture, and having his own room doesn't give him the freedom to mingle with the other ranch hands. Rather, they keep him alone so that he won't be among them, and they won't have to be near him.

Explanation:

Crooks is the black stable buck in John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men". He lives alone in the stable and not among the other ranch hands who stay in the bunkhouse.

The statement that "Crooks . . . is NOT a victim of racism" is not true. According to me, even with all the personal possessions (own room, furniture, and books), his living quarter is in the stable, with the animals and not with other human beings in the bunkhouse. His statement to Lennie <em>"I ain't wanted in the bunkhouse, and you ain't wanted in my room</em>" is evidence of how class/ race disparity is there even among the workers. He also added <em>"They play cards in there, but I can't play because I'm black. They say I stink."</em> This clearly shows the division among the workers, though they are all under Curley.

Therefore, it is <u>wrong to say that Crooks is NOT a victim of racism</u>.

Why does the author's description of what Edison observed during his visit to the laboratory—"the 20-kilowatt Langmuir amplifyin
ad-work [718]

I believe the correct answer is: Using technical language helps the author stress the complexity of the scientific advances and technological achievements that Edison observed.

 

In this excerpt from “"Edison Marvels at the Magic of Electricity" from the New York Tribune (October 19, 1922), author intentionally incorporate such highly technical language to stress the complexity of the scientific advances and technological achievements that Edison observed.
