Answer:

Negativity, western literature

Explanation:

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in her TED talk on the danger of a single story, noted that the single story of Africa comes from western literature.  Adichie went on to quote a historic writing of a London merchant John Locke - who after sailing to West Africa, gave a fascinating account of black Africans as "beasts who have no houses," and "people without heads, having  their mouth and eyes in their breasts."

Adichie said John Locke's narrative marked the beginning of story telling that described Africa as place of darkness, negatives as well as a place where people - in the words of a poet Rudyard Kipling - are "half devil, half child."

what is the outcome when twain tries to persuade different wild and tame animals to accumulate vast stores of food (line 52-64)?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The outcome when Mark Twain tries to persuade different wild and tame animals to accumulate vast stores of food was that they did not do it.

This example shows us of never ending hunger of humans to store more than necessary.

Explanation:

The Lowest Animal is a paper written by Mark Twain of his fictional experiment done with animals.

In lines 52-64, Twain asserts that he tried to persuade animals, both wild and tame, to accumulate vast stores of food line. But he remarks that no one stored food more than they required. Even the bees collected only what was required for them for winters.

This experiment is suggestive of human's nature of greed and hunger for more. Through this experiment, Twain is conveying the message that humans are the animals that comes at the lowest animals and not the other way around.

Cassius and other conspirators,Casca, Decius, Cinna, Metellus, and Trebonius visit Brutus in his home in Act II, Scene I and talk about how to eliminate Caesar. Cassius suggest they take an oath but Brutus declines, saying their cause is stronger than any oath.
