Answer:
While only one's beliefs and opinions have the proper weight to anchor this question, in my opinion, absolutely. Not only does it bring the idea of culture into the societal equation, but it expands areas of knowledge that can't really be explained otherwise unless acted out. This also gives minorities the opportunity to act out history correlating to their culture.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
A. to show that cleaning the room will be a huge task.
Explanation:
We do not know what poem this is referring to, but this poet uses a simile or metaphor. This is a type of figurative language and is not meant to be "taken literally." This rules out options C and D because there is not an <em>actual</em> elephant.
While B could still be an answer, the narrator could have cleaned up their room once before without it feeling like a big task. Since they chose to compare it to an elephant specifically, we can guess that the answer will be "A. to show that cleaning the room will be a huge task."
Answer: The answer is below.
Comparing:
Both of the themes from these excerpts are about how you can be able to learn despite differences in yourself from others.
Contrasting:
The theme of <em>The Story of My Life</em> by Helen Keller is that you are able to do anything you put your mind to, even if you are physically impaired in some way.
The main theme in the excerpt of <em>The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass</em>, is that you can learn how to do things even if you are of a different ethnic background.
In other words, the main character in the story are different in different ways (one is blind, the other was of a different ethnicity)
"With a glance she sets her hair ablaze
and whirls suddenly with daring art"
Some powerful words used with profound meaning in this line such as glance, ablaze and daring art.
Glance can be taken literally but in this case of connotative associations this word embodies the effortlessness in the activity she's performing. Without even a thought. With hesitance or any sort of labor. This simple word conveys this woman is extraordinary without even trying or maybe even knowing.
Ablaze, this woman lit up and exploded with fierce vibes. With the suggestions of fire, it really channels a burst in confident colors within someones personality or actions. Without even questioning herself, she set her own self restraint free and let the spark flame.
Daring art, insinuating a bold work of mastery and profession. Daring not only being confident but its risky what she's doing and could have possibly been a failure but she's owning it. Whirling with fortitude, so this woman is probably dancing in a literal sense but with the way the mood is set, its almost like she's floating and the world is whirling around her.
"her whole dress into this fiery rapture,
out of which, like startled snakes,
her bare arms stretch, alive and clacking"
Such connotative lines but these phrases fiery rapture, startled snakes, alive and clacking really sat center stage.
Fiery rapture, this woman's strong movements has made her dress dance with her own wind. Seems to have its on spirit. But it moves not soft and accordingly, its fiery meaning this woman is being aggressive. This isn't the affects of a calm, sweet and vulnerable piece, this is a hot and heavy storm.
Startled snakes, moving so vigorously yet in rhythm and in a pattern. This dress very much is probably long and flow-y showing and reenacting her own steps. But this particular description shows how advancing she's being. This dress didn't "flow like a weeping willow tree." The very word "snakes" supports danger and fearlessness.
Alive and clacking, the shapes and movements of her arms speak their own language. Almost as if they are silently speaking. They are very much present and cant be missed. You can almost hear them. Expressing all sorts of different meanings
