Answer:

c) It takes away his sense of humanity and his ability to feel.

<u>Excerpt</u>

From the white landowners above him there had not been handed to him a chance to learn the meaning of loyalty, of sentiment, of tradition. Joy was as unknown to him as was despair. As a creature of the earth, he endured, hearty, whole, seemingly indestructible, with no regrets and no hope. He asked easy, drawling questions about me, his other son, his wife, and he laughed, amused, when I informed him of their destinies. I forgave him, and pitied him as my eyes looked past him to the unpainted wooden shack.

Explanation:

From the excerpt, Wright's father had lost the chance to learn the meaning of loyalty, of sentiment, of tradition, of joy and of despair. These are human attributes that humans feel. His time as a sharecropper had taken away his sense of humanity and ability to feel.

Darina [25.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • ‘Cloudy Day’ is a poem written by Jimmy Santiago. This poem is based on the central idea that no matter in whatever situation you’re in, there’s always a ray of hope.
  • When we read the first stanza, it makes us clear that Baca (the person who is poisoned) is talking about his own life story.
  • In the every first stanza we get some details which is not quite possible for an ordinary man to come up with such details.
  • Only the one who is imprisoned can show us the reality of life. The tone used by the speaker is very encouraging and optimistic one.
