Why do some people love avant garde fashion?
wel

Answer:

Explanation:

The people who do avante-garde usually make experimental, radical, or unorthodox pieces with respect to art, culture, or society. It is frequently characterized by aesthetic innovation and initial unacceptability by society. The idea is to push boundaries of society and cultures, of what is usually considered ugly to become beautiful.

People like to push boundaries and explore new ideas that have yet to be explored. They are opposed to the enforced standards of mainstream art that influences everyone. This form of art can be used to push people to think in their own way, and not standardized ways set before us.

We like it, because it is something new, fresh, and original, something we strive to be without worrying about the thoughts of everyone else. The sense is essentially about freedom in the end, and normalizing the beauty in the ugly that many have oppressed for so long, or emphasizing the ugly that needs to be changed.

It is experimental and different, and simply, humans like different things. A push to the future of what our world could be, expressed.

(This applies to fashion, and the general art form itself)

Which statement most accurately paraphrases lines 71-72 of "The Wanderer'?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The statement that most accurately paraphrases the lines is:

A. What intelligent person does not know that riches disappear in the end?

Explanation:

When we paraphrase, we reword the ideas expressed by someone. We do not change the ideas, nor do we summarize. We say the exact same thing, but with different words. Let's take a look at what is being said here:

<em>What knowing man knows not the ghostly, </em>

<em>Waste-like end of worldly wealth</em>

The lines above are questioning something. They are asking, maybe in rhetorical way, what intelligent man does not know about how material wealth disappears in the end. The adjective "knowing" is the same as "knowledgeable" or "intelligent". And "waste-like end" means the wealth does not really value much. It disappears ("ghostly", like everything else.

With that in mind, we can easily see that letter A is the one conveying all those ideas:

A. What intelligent person does not know that riches disappear in the end?
