What idea does the author convey by using the phrase preferred landfill of the city to describe his neighborhood ?

English
1 answer:
choli [55]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

"Preferred landfill of the city" comes from line 10 and 11 of the poem "<em>Speaking with hands</em>"

The poem was inspired by experiences given that the author grew up in  Watts.

If we backtrack a little to line 1, the author states that there are no markets in Watts then goes on to state that people bought what there was to buy in the little markets.

Since by definition, landfill refers to a dump, a place where waste items and materials are buried or deposited, then the author is trying to use imagery to define how bad and terrible Watts was as a neighbourhood in relation to other parts of the city.

In order words, it was a slum where things rejected and refused by the people in the city were dumped. [See line 24-27]

Cheers

What does the term “plastic” most likely mean as used in paragraph 2 of "Self-Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

C. something that can be molded or shaped

Explanation:

Emerson's essay "Self-Reliance" mostly deals with individualism and the relationship of a non-conformist individual to the society that forces an individual to conform.

Basically, whene Emerson states that "society isn't the measure of all things" he suggests that people should follow their inner voice, follow their heart and instincts, rather than do what society expects them to do, depriving themselves of every spontaneity.

In paragraph 2, he states that people should be "...pious aspirants to be

noble clay plastic under the Almighty effort...".

That basically means that every man should mold their own life from the clay that was given to him and not merely take a shape of whatever society wants him to take, refusing his individuality by doing so.

Prepare for an essay about whether punishing various forms of free speech is ultimately negative or positive. You must develop a
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Outline:

  1. What is freedom of expression.
  2. The problems of limiting that freedom.
  3. The need to know how to differentiate between freedom of expression and oppression and intolerance.
  4. Conclusion.

Explanation:

Freedom of expression is the permission of people to speak their opinions and to position themselves on other people's opinions without suffering any reprisals from anyone. Freedom of expression is a right defended by the first constitutional amendment, in addition to being a humanitarian right that must be respected by all.

Limiting or punishing freedom of expression, therefore, is a negative thing, as it limits the population of the truth, in addition to limiting rationality, questioning and the ability of human beings to think for themselves and show their thoughts. In this case, the punishment of freedom of expression is something tyrannical and should not be promoted in any case and at any time, regardless of what it is.

However, for the population to have free freedom of expression, it is necessary that first, the population knows how to differentiate what is freedom of expression and what is oppression and intolerance. This is because many people use the right to freedom of expression to offend, be prejudiced and hide the hatred of population groups. This is harmful and does not add anything good in the world.

Therefore, we can conclude that punishing freedom of expression is negative for the population, however, it is important that the population is taught about what is opinion and what is hate speech and intolerance.
