The correct one for me is B-  Mrs. X seems to be more experienced or showing the main things for her in life. It's possible that Miss Y hasn't got any children and also may have no idea about theatre or plays. It may be possible that she's not married or she may  not have her own home due to  the despcription  starting: "Home is the best of all,..."

Answer:

D. It’s sinful to sit here and make fun of ones husband this way when he is kind and a good little man.”

Explanation:

"The Stronger" by August Stridnberg is a play in one scene. The play is a monologue by Mrs. X, who is talking to Miss Y. Miss Y was the former lover of Mrs. X's husband, and Mrs. X is telling the story of how this affected her. Throughout the play, it is difficult to establish which one of the two women is "the stronger." In this case, the line establishes that Mrs. X feels superior because she refers to Miss Y's husband as "good little man" which sounds very patronizing. She also tells Miss Y what is sinful and how she ought to behave.

In his short story “The Man Who Was Almost a Man,” why does Richard Wright use a Southern dialect to present the thoughts and sp
vodomira [7]

The correct answer is B. Wright wants to enhance the realism of the story for the audience.

The short story "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" was published in 1961. The technique of faithfully portraying the way the characters talk, their accent and informality, had been used to enhance realism much before that date. An example would be the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, who already employed such style in his writing in the 1920's - for instance 'S'alright' instead of 'It's alright.'

That is what Wright does in the short story. Dave - an African-American who works at a farm - and the other characters have a very specific dialect. From its faithful representation in the story, a lot can be noted by the reader without much explanation being necessary: from the way they talk and the things they talk about, the time and setting, the social and historical context can be inferred. The very first dialog in the story is an example of that:

"Howdy, Dave! Whutcha want?"

"How yuh, Mistah Joe? Aw, Ah don wanna buy nothing. Ah jus wanted t see ef yuhd lemme look at tha catlog erwhile."
