Answer:

The best answer seems to be letter B) Those who today enjoy power and prosperity may one day become subordinate to those they deem inferior.

Explanation:

In the lines we are analyzing here, Countee Cullen, an author of the Harlem Renaissance movement, presents a social paradox. When he says, "We shall not always plant while others reap", he seems to be referring to the fact that oppression still exists. Not unlike during slavery, there are those who do all the work while others enjoy the fruits, the result of such work. However, the author claims such situation won't continue to exist. The men who make others work for them under oppression, the men who dare see their brothers as inferior, will someday know what it is like to be the one in a subordinate position. The day will come when they'll have a taste of the suffering and prejudice they inflicted upon others.

In at least two hundred words, explain how the musician from "Arrangement in Black and White" relates to the African
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

In "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," Hughes talks about the importance of identity and race in art. He argues that a true artist cannot be one in a way that is separate from his own identity. This is particularly true in the United States, where your racial background determines every aspect of who you are, what opportunities you have access to, and how people treat you.

This is illustrated in "Arrangement in Black and White." In this story, we see an African American artist who is admired by a white woman. The woman considers herself to be liberal and accepting of others. However, she is unable to look past her own racism and bias, despite her claim of being modern and understanding. This supports Hughes idea of the artist being unable to be an artist independently from his racial identity.

Read the excerpt from Act II of Hamlet.
kkurt [141]

Answer:

B, but read the full explanation carefully. If you have an idea of your own, pick it.

Explanation:

It's none of these. Later on we learn that they are talking about fortune and luck. Hamlet makes a very nasty comment about the nature of luck whom he sees as a changeable woman who takes money for her favors (his words not mine). Rosenkranz and Guildenstern are in the middle which leads Hamlet to make another off color observation.

Given that background, you could almost pick any one of the choices, since    none of them are correct. I suppose if you take Guildenstern's initial couplet you could pick prosperity, but I wouldn't be surprised if the writer of this question didn't pick it. The quotation is taken out of context.

Whatever they are talking about is neither the top or the bottom. It is therefore in the middle. But before this speech, we learn that the two students are not doing well. Hamlet is trying to joke with them.
