Answer: The tone in this excerpt is solemn, witty, outspoken and persuasive.

Explanation: The tone of a literary work can be understood as the approach or the attitude that the writer conveys towards the subject of his or her work. Even though Angelou is certainly referring to the harhsness that those working in plantations picking up cotton and other products had to endure, particularly in the last hours of the day, when "nature's blessing of grogginess, forgetfulness and the soft lamplight" had faded, hers, I believe, is not a resentful or an outraged tone, at least not in this excerpt. Instead, the tone of the author in this excerpt is solemn, witty, outspoken and persuasive, and it relates to her difficult upbringing and her personal experience as a Civil Rights advocate and activist.

She means that being a black southerner sucked, but it sucked even worse in the hot summer afternoons, which were hot and humid and uncomfortable and by which time everybody had been working hard all day, than in the mornings, when it was more comfortable and people had just gotten out of bed and weren't completely awake and aware of their lousy situation in life.

Luda [366]

Answer:

The tone of the poem was laudatory.

1. The audience were Britons

2. The poem was written to praise the colonists who were moving over to Virginia and to encourage others to join them.

3. This poem was written from the perspective of a poet who wanted to promote the new colony and also encourage Britons to make the courageous move. He listed the numerous benefits of the new colony.

Explanation:

The poem was written by Michael Drayton to address Britons in general. More specifically, the poet praised Britons who made the journey to Virginia to start a new colony while he condemned as lazy those who did not move with others. The tone of the poem was laudatory and full of praises for some while others were denounced.

The poet did a sort of promotion of the colony by even comparing it to a paradise. He ended the poem by encouraging one of the founders of the new colony whose name was Hakluyt to document the voyage.

15. What is the purpose of the introduction in an essay?
zysi [14]
I'd say overall B. It basically gives the reader general concepts and main key summaries, tipping them off on what the essay would most likely be like. It stars a hook (something to hook the audience into reading.) but thats not what its for. A seems irrelevant to what an intro is. Therefore the most likely answer is b.
