English

Answer:

                                      Analysis

I Rise" is primarily about self-respect and confidence. In the poem, Angelou reveals how she will overcome anything through her self-esteem. She shows how nothing can get her down. She will rise to any occasion and nothing, not even her skin color, will hold her back. Although slavery had been long abolished, Angelou saw its effects on society and the African American people. This poem is her declaration that she, for one, would not allow the hatefulness of society to determine her own success. This poem is not only a proclamation of her own determination to rise above society, but was also a call to others to live above the society in which they were brought up. It is still one of the most widely read poems in America.

                                      Elements

Form and Meter :The poem is written in an A-B-C-B meter, until the last two stanzas when the meter becomes A-B-A-B.Genre

Setting: The setting is not mentioned, but one could assume that it is America in the 1970s after the end of segregation (based on Angelou's life).

Protagonist and Antagonist :The speaker is the protagonist. The antagonist is unspecified, but he is/they are most likely white oppressors (and specifically, white males) who want to condemn her to the pain of her ancestors.

You are asked to write a birthday invitation to three audiences.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1. Hey John! Look at your calendar! Do you know which day is on Friday? That's right, it's my birthday. You know my party would be so boring without you, so  I hope you will come and bring that strategic game we used to play last year. The party starts at 5 PM but I hope you will come earlier, so I can show you a new tennis set that my grandparents bought me before other guests arrive.

2. Hey, buddy! You are now big enough to come to my birthday party, as a big boy you are. We will eat cake, play some fun games, draw, and sing many songs. I promise I will learn you how to use my computer, as now you're big enough to play games with me and my brother. I hope I will see you on Friday at 5 PM.

3. Dear Mr. President Obama, I would like to request the pleasure of your company at my birthday celebration, which will take place on Friday (March 27) at 5 PM, at my house (Los Angeles, California). I hope that such an important and great man as you are could find some free time to visit one small boy with huge ambitions and ideals, as my role model and one of the greatest people of the contemporary American history.

Explanation:

In the first case, we can use an informal language, with colloquial expressions, and short sentences, as we are inviting our best friend to attend your birthday party.  

In the second case, we should use short and simple sentences, as we are talking to our little cousin who couldn't understand more complicated structures and expressions.

In the third case, we want to invite the former president of the United States to attend your birthday party. Therefore, we should use a formal language, polite expressions, and short, well-structured sentences, in order to show respect and admiration to such an important person.
