English

Nadya [2.5K]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A. The confetti represents celebration. The author uses confetti to encourage her audience to celebrate success.

Explanation:

In the excerpt from Pat Mora's essay, the author was meant to deliver a talk to a group of graduating students in a restaurant. While preparing for her talk, she contemplated what gift she would give the students which would have a lasting impression on them. One of the non-monetary gift items she thought about was the confetti. The confetti was meant to be used for celebration by the students on each milestone attained by them.

Some of those milestones include, "those solitary moments when they had passed a test that worried them, finished a difficult paper at 2 a. m., or found a summer internship". Indeed the author encouraged the students to celebrate their little successes.

WHAT TO THE SLAVE IS THE FOURTH OF JULY?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The main purpose of the second paragraph is:

C. to impress the disparity of experience between citizens and slaves.

Explanation:

The second paragraph of Douglass's speech emphasizes how different it is to be a white, free person and to be a slave on the Fourth of July. After all, the nation is celebrating freedom. But, as Douglass says, he and the other slaves are "in fetters", so inviting them to celebrate freedom is an act of cruelty, of irony. He makes a point of stating that, emphasizing the disparity between the slaves' and white people's conditions. There is no reason for slaves to celebrate, which means there is no reason for Douglass to celebrate. He, a former slave, knows the pain and suffering he came from. He cannot forget and ignore that thousands of people who are still in that predicament, working to death while being mistreated, beaten, humiliated, or sold as possessions.
