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.

Read the following reason that has been given to justify slavery and answer the question.
professor190 [17]

Answer: We are not initially responsible for the capture of slaves taken as a result of war.

The first statement disputes the claim because it argues that captives from wars might still be taken in an unjust way. The third statement similarly disputes the claim by arguing that not all captives are victims of combat, but some were kidnapped despite their peaceful existence. Finally, the last statement argues that even if captives were taken lawfully in those wars, it would still be a great kindness to help them.

The second statement, on the other hand, supports the claim. It argues that the capture of slaves is not our responsibility, as they have been lawfully taken during war.

Describe a time when you set a goal for yourself and how you went about working toward its attainment. What was the goal? How di
igor_vitrenko [27]

During this year, one of my main goals was to change computers, since mine was showing malfunctions, besides being very old. However, my countries could not afford to pay for it, which means that this was a goal that I should be able to achieve alone. To achieve this, I started a search for part-time jobs, which would be difficult due to the moment we live in, but I will travel until I get a job as a website editor. I calculated how much I would earn for this job and set a deadline by which I would be able to buy the computer, if I added my salary money. I bought the computer in 3 months and my parents helped me to achieve my goal, although they did not help me with money, they helped me with the guidelines that I needed to write.

I am currently working on another goal. I would like to buy an apartment. I know this is going to be a long way, but I am looking forward to seeing how I will walk on it.
