In the barrio, the police are just another gang. […] Sometimes they come up to us while we linger on a street comer and tell us

Sangra called us chavalas, a loose term for girls. Other times, they approach dudes from Sangra and say Lomas is a tougher gang and Sangra is nothing. Shootings, assaults and skirmishes between the barrios are direct results of police activity. Even drug dealing. I know this. Everybody knows this. What does that quote mean?

A movie that shows <em>similar characteristics </em>to the ones that can be seen in Greek tragedies and Senecan dramas is The Passion of the Christ.

The <em>Greek tragic elements</em> that can be observed in Senecan dramas are the <em>melodramatic elements, such as killing, assassination, horror scenes</em>, that chock the reader or viewer. <em>Revenge</em> is also an important element since it is considered <em>the main plot of Seneca's plays</em>. <em>Supernatural elements</em> and the presence of the <em>underworld</em> are also important elements present in Senecan dramas. Greek tragedies usually tell the story of a<em> hero, a good person who had a terrible destiny or was misunderstood</em>. That causes <em>pity, empathy and fear</em> on the audience.

Which assumption can the reader make about Kumalo?
Alina [70]

Answer:

B). He is insecure about his place in the world.

Explanation:

As per the question, the inference that the readers can make about Kumalo is that 'he is insecure about his place in the world' the native life was getting ruined due to the social injustice that divided the society into 'haves' and 'have nots'. The protagonist Kumalo possessed a threat of losing his identity/place in the world(due to the domination and injustice practiced by the whites) and thus, his chief aim was to restore order to his family by taking necessary actions that would be required to establish a place for him and his family in the society. Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
