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.

Which scene differs between the text and film version of "Charles"?
Amanda [17]

Answer: In the film version, the viewer sees "Charles" sitting on a stool in the corner of the classroom.

Explanation:

There are many different movies with the same name as in your questions so I do not know what is the text and film version that you are thinking of but I have found the answer on the internet that is telling the students that the right answer is considering Charles as one of the characters who is sitting on a stool in the corner of the classroom.

Read the excerpt below from Chris Jacobs' narrative called Everlasting. As you read, think about how Jacobs creates an effective
Tanya [424]
•The prolonged beginning, narrated by a first-grader emphasises how big the world is to children.
•The sentences are long, laced with a lot of punctuation which sounds similar to how young children speak.
• the narrator settled into his ‘frustrated six-year-old silence’ and here, it is emphasised how a six year old communicates when angry, through silence. The author almost mocks this, through the use of sibilance. This proves the worlds ambiguity and how much more the child has to grow.

Here’s a few points to mention, hope it helps:) I’m not sure how old you are, so it may or may not be too complex
