Hi!

<u>The answer to your question is A</u>. Nellie Bly's purpose in writing <em>10 Days in a Mad-house</em> <u>is to inform the reader about the conditions of the place</u>.

Nellie Bly was a daring journalist who actually pretended to be mentally insane to get into an asylum (The Women’s Lunatic Asylum on Blackwells Island). <u>This was strictly done so that she could reveal the conditions of the place and how they treated patients</u>. According to her previous researches, Bly had found that asylums were in horrible conditions and treated their patients real badly, going as far as feeding rotten food to their patienrs. Because of this, she wanted to experience what it was like being on the inside with the goal of exposing the injustices going on inside and get help for the mentally ill.

Hope it helped!

Underline the simple subject. Circle the simple predicate.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Subject: way

Predicate: is

Explanation:

The subject of the sentence comes before the predicate and establishes what is being talked about in the sentence. The predicate is also known as the verb and states the action or existence of that is being addressed in the sentence.

In this example, the subject is way as in form or method. The verb is not an action verb, but rather the linking verb <em>to be</em> in the present tense third person singular conjugation <em>it</em>.

Read this excerpt from "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar and answer the question that follows:
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

In the poem "We Wear the Mask," Paul Laurence Dunbar voices his repressed anger and frustration toward American society. He repeats the title phrase three times in the poem, using the words mask and we to show <u>that people hide their true feelings behind a false expression.</u>

The first use of the phrase is matter-of-fact. In the second stanza, the statement is followed by a period, which shows resignation. However, at the end of the poem, Dunbar almost shouts the phrase defiantly. The mask seems to become something he wears proudly. Through this gradual emphasis on the phrase, Dunbar could be implying that the world should only be allowed to “see us, while/ We wear the mask.” This suggests something beyond merely dissembling for the sake of duplicity or dishonesty.

This mask that “grins and lies” is hiding the existence of excruciating misery and suffering. The speaker says, “We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries/ To thee from tortured souls arise
