Read this excerpt from We’ve Got a Job: The 1963 Children’s March. Wash remembers the police as "the ultimate terror . . . You s

aw the police, you ran. It was automatic." Why were the police so frightening? "It was a rare weekend passed," Wash said, "that one or two folk . . . didn't get killed by the police . . . This is what they'd do to you: They'd call you and make you stick your head in the window [of the police car] . . . and then they would roll the window up . . . And then they'd hit you on your head . . . They'd beat people to death." As a result, he said, parents could scare unruly children into minding them by threatening, "The police gonna get you." What is the tone of the excerpt?

Answer: Shocking

The tone of this excerpt is more likely to be shocking than any of the other options. The author is trying to convey the fear that Walsh and other children felt for the police. By describing the fear the children felt, the horrible actions of the police, and the words of the parents, the author tries to provide an image that surprises and shocks an audience that did not share the same experiences.

HELP! Due in about 15 minutes! They never gave me the actual story!
timama [110]

Mama's plant and Beneatha's hair are two significant symbols in the drama <em>A Raisin in the Sun</em>. The meaning in Mama's plant comes from the fact that the family is symbolized by the plant. In the same manner that she takes care of the family, Mama is as committed to caring for the plant. Despite its bad surroundings, the plant thrives because she wants it to. This is comparable to the family's growth, which similarly prospers in spite of its challenging conditions. We can observe that Beneatha's hair represents the identity and self-development changes she experiences in this situation. Although she starts off with straightened hair, she grows more at ease with her natural hair as she gains pride in her lineage and self-assurance.
