<u>Answer</u>:

Out of the following statements, the one which best reflects Mrs. Turner’s views is that she embraces her "white" features and rejects her "blackness." So, here the correct option is Option C.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Zora Neale Hurston’s novel “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” revolves around the main character Janie Crawford. How she grows from being a naïve, voiceless teenager to a woman who gets a hold of her life – is the plot of the story.

Mrs. Turner is another character in this novel. She is Janie’s friend and is of mixed heritage. She isn’t that beautiful but is very proud about her appearance as she thinks that is a factor that differentiates her from the black people. She is fond of Janie as she has Caucasian features but doesn’t like her to be engaged with Tea Cake, a black. She thinks both are not good for each other and insists Janie to be with her brother instead.

Which detail from "Tiger-Tiger!" best develops the theme that the rules of society don't always benefit the needs of the individ
sdas [7]

Answer:

A. " . . . they [the children] made fun of him because he would not play games or fly kites, or because he mispronounced some word. . ."

Explanation:

'Tiger-Tiger' is a part of the collective stories in 'The Jungle Book' written by Rudyard Kipling. In this story, Mowgli leaves the jungle and decides to go live in human society, after driving the Sher Khan out of the jungle. When Mowgli comes to a village, he gets adopted by a wealthy family, who lost their son.

The theme that the rules of society don't benefit the needs of the individual is developed in option A. Mowgli is a jungle boy, brought up by a wolf pack in jungle, now he lives among human, his own kind, but, in both cases Mowgli remained an outcast. In jungle he was weak among the animals and the beast, but among humans he proved to be as strong as a bull.

In the statement, in option A, the narrator describes how the rules of society didn't fit Mowgli. When he was in jungle he learned to control his temperament. But when children made fun of him, he wanted to break them in two pieces.

Therefore, option A is correct.
