Answer:

The answer to the question: What theme does the speaker´s description of the man support, is, alienation.

Explanation:

"The Legend", is a poem by Asian-American writer Garrett Hongo, which was published in 1988, as part of his book of poetry "The River of Heaven". This particular poem came to life after a pretty strong event that marked Hongo during a trip to Chicago. One day, watching television, he saw a program where they were presenting a short news report on an Asian man who had been shot by accident on the street. What truly marked him was to see how the murder of this man was treated with so little respect, how people cared very little about who the man had been, or anything about him. The man was treated almost as a non-entity. This event spurred Hongo to write his famous poem and what he expresses, in that particular stanza of his poem, is not so much the process of death of the man, which is described by the watching speaker, but rather, the total alienation from the people around towards the dying person. It shows how the people around the dying man simply do not show any emotion, or care, because this man is totally different from them, in every respect, he is not one of them, and therefore, it does not affect them that he has been shot by a boy, or that he is dying without anyone doing anything. This event also forces Hongo to rediscover his own roots as an immigrant and a part-Asian man.

Pls help TEST!!! Evaluate the relationship between a main idea and supporting details.
Monica [59]

The main idea is the "key concept" being expressed. Details, major and minor, support the main idea by telling how, what, when, where, why, how much, or how many. Locating the topic, main idea, and supporting details helps you understand the point(s) the writer is attempting to express.

During morning announcements, your school's principal has announced that your favorite teacher has received an award for teachin
Mars2501 [29]

The correct answer is D) The principal adds more details to the example of a way to make learning fun.

The principal introduces Mrs. Smith by announcing that she has won the award and already begins to describe her teaching style, so answer A isn't applicable. Answers B and C don't apply either because these ideas aren't introduced at all and frankly don't make sense in this scenario. The answer is D because the principal makes a claim (that the teacher makes learning fun), and afterwards uses supporting details as evidence to support this claim by telling the story about the hats.

Hope this helps!

I think the answer would be C. an angry state of mind

The points A, B, and D are different definitions from those of "a feeling or state of mind." That being said, they would not be alternate defintions. Also, "an upset or angry state of mind," comes with the primary definition, meaning C. would be an alternate definition.
