Which sentence in the excerpt best shows the lack of interest of white Americans in the lives of African Americans and other min

orities?
What White Publishers Won’t Print

by Zora Neale Hurston (excerpt)
Publishers and producers are cool to the idea. Now, do not leap to the conclusion that editors and producers constitute a special class of un-believers. That is far from true. Publishing houses and theatrical promoters are in business to make money. They will sponsor anything that they believe will sell. They shy away from romantic stories about Negroes and Jews because they feel that they know the public indifference to such works, unless the story or play involves racial tension. It can then be offered as a study in Sociology, with the romantic side subdued. They know the skepticism in general about the complicated emotions in the minorities. The average American just cannot conceive of it, and would be apt to reject the notion, and publishers and producers take the stand that they are not in business to educate, but to make money. Sympathetic as they might be, they cannot afford to be crusaders.

The best sentence that shows the lack of interest of white Americans in the lives of African Americans and other minorities is “They shy away from romantic stories about Negroes and Jews because they feel that they know the public indifference to such works, unless the story or play involves racial tension.”

In this sentence of the excerpt we can infer publishing houses will not sponsor books or publications based on stories about minorities and black people because the public is not interested in those stories and would not buy books related to topics that have minorities as main characters.

Write a one-paragraph summary each for Chapters 7 and 8 from Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry
arlik [135]

Answer:

T. J. fools Stacey into giving him his new coat, because it will fit him better. Uncle Hammer is furious, and tells Stacey to let T. J. keep the coat. The day before Christmas, Papa returns from the railroads. That evening, everyone in the family, including L. T., gathers to tell stories. Eventually, L. T. tells the story of a previous Christmas, in 1876, when a gang of white men came to his house and killed his parents. The children are horrified, but Papa wants them to hear about their history. In the middle of the night, Cassie wakes to overhear the adults talking about the boycott of the Wallace store and of the need for someone to give the black community credit so they can shop in Vicksburg. They think of using the farm as collateral, but they don't want to lose their land.

The children are delighted to receive books for Christmas. Stacey and Cassie get books by Alexander Dumas and Christopher-John and Little Man get two volumes of Aesop's fables. The Averies join the Logans for Christmas dinner. Jeremy comes over and gives Stacey a whistle. Stacey doesn't know how to react, and after Jeremy leaves he asks Papa. Papa says there's nothing wrong with friendship, but that friendship with whites usually leads to trouble.

How do Maria Elisa's and Mami's views on money compare?
tia_tia [17]

Their opinions are compared when they both agree that money should be spent on important things. However, they disagree on what is important.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Maria Elisa wants to buy a gift for her favorite teacher.
  • She believes this is very important, as Christmas is a time to give gifts to loved ones.
  • Because this is an important time, she wants to buy a special gift, as she believes the money should be spent on important and special things.
  • Mami agrees that the money has to be spent on important and special things, but she doesn't believe that giving someone a gift is important.

Mami likes to save money and likes to buy cheap and simple gifts, leaving the money for when an emergency arises.

This question is about "A Present For Mrs. Robertson."
