Explain the title why, you reckon?<span>
The title of this short story is a highlight of the moral. This story written
by Langston Hughes, narrates of a black man who, like many other in the
post-WWII United States which was in the middle of an economic depression, had
found himself wondering if money could buy you happiness, and why are rich
people not happy?</span>
<span>
</span>
Who is asking the question?<span>
The question is presented by the protagonist, who wonders why rich people are
unhappy, despite all the amount of money they have at their disposal. The young
man was poor and hungry and decided to go all the way committing a crime just
for the chance to buy himself a little bit of happiness. </span>
<span>
</span>
What are they wondering about?<span>
The protagonist is wondering if money could perhaps buy happiness, and if so,
why people who have money and power are still unhappy and bored with their
lives? He had always believed that money would make life easier (which is still
a vastly shared thought) and cannot understand how come people with money are
not afraid to lose them. </span>
<span>
</span>
Who are they asking?<span>
The question in the title is perhaps directed to the reader, creating a
connection between the story and the real, outside world. But in the story the
main character is wondering alone in the streets while asking this question to himself.
</span>
<span>
</span>
Why do they want to know?<span>
The main character is eager to understand whether money can buy happiness,
since he has started to doubt it after the encounter with the rich young man
who was excited about being robbed, describing the experience as one of the
most thrilling experiences of his life. The protagonist cannot comprehend how rich
people can still be unhappy and bored despite the immense fortune they have
available. </span>
The day of the funeral arrived and there I was standing before the grave stone. It read ‘MARY ROBERT WILSON’. There were lots of people here and I felt uncomfortable. I was only five years old when she died. Back then, nothing made sense. All I remembered was people dressed in black with their heads down and no sound apart from the rushing wind. The woman, Mary, was my mother. It was so long ago, and I was so young that I didn’t know how to react. I just stood there holding on to my fathers hand smiling not knowing that I would never see my mum again. Not knowing that my life was about to change and there was nothing I could about. 10 years later I recall the moment of her death, of her grave and only now... I realised it was too late to cry.
Here is the full excerpt for this question:
For me, reading has always been a path toward liberation and fulfilment. To learn to read is to start down the road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. No one has the right to keep you from reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today. There are those who think they know best what we should read. These censors are at work in all areas of our daily lives.
I believe the answer is: D. emotions
Rhetoric that appeal to emotions could be seen from the use of sentences that is aimed to make the readers/listeners relate to a certain situation that might ignite their emotional response. From the excerpt above, this could be seen in this line: <em>No one has the right to keep you from reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today.</em>
