Answer:
The given lines are taken from the book "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston.
Explanation:
Zora Neale Hurston's <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em> tells the story of African American women trying to survive in the world of the white authority. The narrator Janie tells her friend Phoeby about her three husbands and the life she had to live, trying to survive.
The given passage is spoken by Nanny/ Janie's grandmother after her first marriage to Logan Killicks. And for Nanny, the union was a successful deal done, with land and a lawful husband, and all things that white women have. The passage reveals Nanny telling her granddaughter how a man and a woman should love equally. A man must have his pride and love a woman right, not kiss her foot and leg. Just like Nanny said <em>"when dey got to bow down tuh love, dey soon straightens up</em>". If he's kissing her foot and leg, meaning treating her too well, then there's only a short time when he will get back to his usual self.
Answer and Explanation:
When you hear the word challenges, what comes to mind? Is the word positive or negative?
When I hear the word "challenges", what comes to my mind is the sense of difficulty or the image of an obstacle. To me, at first, the word has a negative connotation. I tend to think of a challenge as something that makes it more difficult for me to achieve my goals.
Based on your prior experiences, how can challenges be helpful to an individual? How can they be harmful?
Based on my own experiences and the challenges I have faced in life, I believe they can be helpful since they get us out of our comfort zone. Even though they discouraged me at the beginning, once I faced them, challenges revealed themselves to be the best masters. I learned endurance, perseverance, and humility from them. On the other hand, when challenges are too frequent or too difficult, they may end up killing our passion and drive for something. In that sense, they can be harmful.
