The syllogism is used (A) to show that all men are mortal and therefore Ivan Ilyich, a man, must die.
This is a logical argument in which Ivan believes that Caius is a man and that all men are mortal, then Caius too must be a mortal.
Hurston argues that the American society has misapprehended black people, even to the present day. And it's not because it is hard to understand and accept black people, but because the white majority is entirely indifferent to them. They don't care about black people's preoccupations, struggles, internal problems. And it isn't only white Americans who employ such an attitude. It is also colored immigrants and people of other ethnicities who join in.
Hence the misconceptions about black people. They are still being perceived in the context of their former slavery. They are almost never seen as heterogeneous population, where there are educated and uneducated, skilled and unskilled. Thereby the white majority reinforces the ancient narrative that blacks don't even deserve education, as it won't improve their inherently corrupt nature
The media don't help either. Their portrayal of black people is uniform. Of course, their work is commercial, and they won't make stories that don't sell. But that only means that the general audience is not interested in ordinary, everyday, human stories about black people. It is not only a snobbish perspective; it is a socially detrimental perspective which excludes a huge population which is a part of America.
Hello. Although you have submitted a text, you have not submitted any questions related to it. In that case, I will explain to you what is being said in this text and I hope this helps you.
The text was taken from "Hamlet" a play written by Shakespeare that shows the life of Prince Hamlet, in the search for revenge and for the murder of his father.
The text you presented is spoken by Claudius, Hamlet's uncle. Claudius is saying that Hamlet's mourning for his father's death has lasted too long. Claudius says that Hamlet has to overcome this death soon, since it is natural for parents to die before their children and maintaining a state of sadness for so long is not something masculine, that is, it is not the correct behavior for a man.
Although Hamlet does not yet know, it was Claudius who killed his father and the real reason why Claudius wants Hamlet to forget his father's death is not to be discovered as the real killer.
The town of Andover, Massachusetts, was experiencing their own witch trials. The people of the town overthrew the courts and started a riot. They were not going to allow innocent people to be hung, and they stood up against the court system. Danforth is afraid this is going to happen in Salem, if John Proctor and Rebecca Nurse are hung.
