Modernist poetry explored the problems that arose from rapid urbanization and industrialization in the late 1800s and early 1900

s. Which lines in this excerpt from "Anecdote of the Jar" by Wallace Stevens reflect the themes of barrenness and emptiness in modern life?
The wilderness rose up to it,
And sprawled around, no longer wild.
The jar was round upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air.

It took dominion everywhere.
The jar was gray and bare.
It did not give of bird or bush,
Like nothing else in Tennessee.

Answer:

The jar was gray and bare.

It did not give of bird or bush

Like nothing else in Tennessee.

Explanation:

The poet shows the effects of urbanization and industralization through the figure of a jar. A jar is the result of manufacturing; however, the poet uses it here as a piece of art. This idea of art is related to the fact that an observer can contemplate an everyday object and turn it into art . This will just take place in the observer's imagination. In the lines above, the jar, as a symptom of industralization, is no longer wild but gray and bare. Nature has been destroyed by industries. Therefore, birds or bushes will not live there any longer. These are signals of barreneness and the fact that there is nothing in a city , Tennessee, shows the emptiness in modern life.

Which word best describes Angelou’s tone towards Mrs. Cullinan in chapter 16? *
adoni [48]

Answer:

C. Derisive

Explanation:

The question is from Maya Angelou's <em>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. </em>In Chapter 16, Angelou, through her main character, Marguerite, describes the discrimination between how white and black girls are prepared for life. She describes,  “While white girls learned to waltz and sit gracefully with a tea cup balanced . . . we were lagging behind, learning the mid-Victorian values.” Black girls are also taught to work in the kitchen for white families.

One day, Marguerite overhears her employer, Mrs. Cullinan while she's talking to the cook. “her name’s too long. I’d never bother myself. I’d call her Mary if I was you.” Angelou describes Marguerite's anger and disgust in the words, “lunch in her mouth a second time.” Later, Marguerite is so angry that she decides to quit her job and breaks several of Mrs. Cullinan's favorite dishes.

Which sentence is the hook in this introductory paragraph? For the first time in decades, Baby Boomers have been outnumbered by
Leya [2.2K]

The hook is usually the sentence which occurs toward the beginning of the paragraph. It's main objective is to catch the readers attention and make them want to continue reading. (It's kind of like the thumbnail of a Youtube video, it catches the viewers attention.) Anyway, now that we have reviewed what a hook is, let's use the process of elimination to find our answer. A. cannot be the answer. It is a part of the beginning of the passage. It also is a fact, and is not written in a way that can attract a reader's attention and make them want to continue reading. The same goes for B. This is simply just not something that would attract a reader's attention. C is also not the answer. Once again, this statement fails to attract the reader's attention. So, this leaves us with the correct answer, D. Not only is this the first sentence in the paragraph, it also attracts the reader's attention and makes them want to read the rest of the passage.

Sources: I am a natural born American, so English is my first language. My mom is an English teacher, so I learned these types of things at a very young age.
