<u>Answer:</u>

"It addresses the effects of racism and oppression in society"  describes that sympathy is a naturalist poem.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Paul Laurence Dunbar writes this poem metaphorically comparing oppression and racism that he faced during his time compared to a caged bird. This likely refers to the oppression done to African-Americans during 1899 – the same time where the author wrote this poem. The important aspect of this poem is it does not exclusively contain the word “race” or “racism” but through the description itself he lets the reader about the oppression and racism that he faced.

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, I think it would do justice to me giving a very short explanation on what a Metaphor is.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that uses a word, often times a phrase, to refer or talk about a word. It states a direct similarity between a word or phrase being used, and the word or phrase being described without using the words "as" or "like."

That being said, I will pick out two of the metaphors in the poem.

1) "my stomach was a melon split wide inside my skin."

2) "I felt the life sliding out of me."

Which statement was not a criticism of television media in the 1960s? Television promoted stereotypes. Television encouraged con
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

the last one.

Explanation:

In my mind, the answer is the last one.

Stereotypical characters was a nightmare. It encouraged the wrong type of behavior. It presented the Fonz as a standard of behavior for both girls and boys which was unrealistic.

Commercialism is a criticism. It means that we are in competition with our neighbors to see who has the largest yacht. That's not a very good competition.

Nobody lived like the Fonz.

Though it might not be a virtue now, it certainly is not a bad thing to portray. The answer should be the last one.
