Answer:

B. The people's lives are difficult, but they pretend to feel joy when others can see.

Explanation:

Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem "We Wear the Mask" refers to or talks about people who hide behind a mask to show the side that people want to see. But deep beneath the mask of happiness and smile that people can see, there is pain and suffering and crying, which is hidden so well by the mask.

The speaker talks about suffering which <em>"hides our cheeks and shades our eyes"</em>. He then went on to state <em>"We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries / To thee from tortured souls arise."</em> And when he says <em>"We sing, but oh the clay is vile / Beneath our feet, and long the mile;" </em>he seems to say that <u>despite the hardships faced by them, they will pretend to be joyful and show a happy face that everyone expects and wants to see</u>, and he will hide his true feelings behind the mask.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

What event caused tesion between walter and ruth act 1 scene 1
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Can we take a moment to bask in the joy of how well-written A Raisin in the Sun is... Ok, moment over!

From act 1 scene 1, it's very clear that this family has issues simmering beneath the surface. The question shouldn't be what caused tension, it should be what <em>doesn't </em>cause tension, because Walter and Ruth argue about a large number of things. It's not a happy marriage, it seems.

When Ruth accuses Walter of keeping their son up by talking late at night, he complains, "That's what you mad about, ain’t it? The things I  want to talk about with my friends just couldn’t be  important in your mind, could they?"

The main issue between them, though, is money. It's underlying everything they argue about - Walter's association with Willy, Travis' ask for the 50 cents, Walter's late-night discussions with his "friends."

How is Romeo able to secure an invitation? Why does he want one?
Lera25 [3.4K]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>How is Romeo able to secure an invitation?</em>

<em>A Capulet servant, sent on the errand to deliver his master's party invitations, bumps into Romeo and Benvolio. The servant cannot read and so asks Romeo to read the invitation for him. ... The servant, unknowing that Benvolio and Romeo are from the Montague family, invites them both to come along.</em>

<em />

<em>Why does he want one?</em>

<em>Benvolio wants to help Romeo let go of his obsession with Rosaline, and he explains that, while at the party, Romeo will be able to compare her to other girls and realize she is not the most beautiful. Romeo, on the other hand, says he will go to the party just so he can see Rosaline, the woman he believes he loves. </em>
