English

Answer:

B). The fences that exist between people are both physical and social.

Explanation:

'Fences' written by August Wilson discusses the aspects of black life and highlights the pressures of society on African Americans. The 'fence' is a mark or symbol of segregation of the black community from white domination. It also functions symbolically, both physically and mentally to signify protection from the outer white-dominated world. It displays how blacks are subjugated by the racist system of white power.

Thus, the possible theme could be 'the fences that exist between people are both physical as well as social' as they are physically oppressed through the works like garbage collectors while the <u>social division is reflected by their idea of protecting themselves inside the fences(revealing their inability to face the brutal reality of pain and discrimination).</u> Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

How can I write a good theme about ," The Fall of the House of Usher" revolving around fear?
Paha777 [63]

Much of the fear addressed in "The Fall of the House of Usher" is related to decay and death. As the narrator arrives, he contrasts the long-standing, enduring trees with the decayed aspect of the house. Usher appears extremely pale, and the impending death of Madeline dominates the atmosphere in the house and has caused Roderick to lose his mind. The cataleptic condition of Madeline also brings with it repeated death-like experiences, and the fear of a premature burial, another of Poe's topics.

You can follow this trend of thought and illustrate it with those elements and passages in the story that relate to this decay, with its accompanying gloom, and with all those that refer to death and to untimely entombment.

What consequences might Quinn’s family suffer if he participates in the protest?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

I'm a little unsure but if this family has high status in the public eye then depending on the protest might make the family embarrassed or bring upon bad views by the public eye. If this family has a low status like not famous or known then it could just be embarrassing for them that a family member did something that is (depending on the protest) frowned upon. Hope this helps
