Read each of the excerpts from The Awakening. The youngsters came tumbling up the steps, the quadroon following at the respectfu

l distance which they required her to observe. Mrs. Pontellier made them carry her paints and things into the house. She sought to detain them for a little talk and some pleasantry. But they were greatly in earnest. They had only come to investigate the contents of the bonbon box. *** [Mrs. Pontellier] stood watching the fair woman walk down the long line of galleries with the grace and majesty which queens are sometimes supposed to possess. Her little ones ran to meet her. Two of them clung about her white skirts, the third she took from its nurse and with a thousand endearments bore it along in her own fond, encircling arms. Which best explains why the author included both of these scenes in the story? to develop a contrast between the way in which Mrs. Pontellier and Madame Ratignolle carry out traditional female roles to develop an understanding of the role of a quadroon in raising children during the time period to develop an understanding of the close friendship that exists between Mrs. Pontellier and Madame Ratignolle to develop a contrast between the way in which the quadroon and the nurse accept their positions as mother figures

The correct answer is option one.

Mrs Pontellier and Madame Ratignolle are friends who have opposite characteristics and represent different female roles. The first does not have a special bond with her children - she makes them carry her paints and things into the house. The children do not stop to talk to her - they just want to see what is in the bonbon box.  

On the other hand, Mrs Pontellier sees Madame Ratignolle as a graceful and refined woman with a stronger maternity spirit. She has a more loving relationship with her children, since they embrace her as soon as they see her.

Does poetry have power? If it does, define what kind of power? If it doesn't, explain why it doesn't have power?'
dalvyx [7]

While a definition of 'power' may be needed, one could argue that poetry has a specific type of power, related to the transmission of experience. Humanity's first approaches to culture communication were done on verse, in the form of poetry (as one can see on the different<em> chansons de geste </em>around Europe, Homeric poems and Greek theatre, and the folklore of orient, for example). Poetic language can transmit human experiences; it can, through the use of verse, of repetition and other poetic devices, cultivate the memory of a particular experience, moment or emotion in a way that prose, due to its to novelty and information, can´t.

How do Brutus and Mark Antony differ in their understanding of their audience, the Roman Empire?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer + Explanation:

The speeches that Brutus and Mark Antony deliver differ in several ways. However, one of the most important differences they exhibit is the way in which each speaker addresses the audience.

In the case of <u>Brutus</u>, he decides to appeal to his audience's minds. He speaks in a somewhat impersonal way that suggests that he does not understand the audience deeply. Moreover, his description of the motives of the plot is dry, and it underestimates the connection that the audience felt to Julius Caesar.

On the other hand, <u>Mark Antony</u> seems to understand the crowd better. He uses emotional words that create a more personal relationship. He also focuses on the importance that Julius Caesar had for the audience. This creates a more successful and dramatic speech.
