Answer and Explanation:
In the short story "Marigolds", by Eugenia Collier, the narrator lives in a poor black community. The story takes place during the Great Depression that devastated the United States in the 1930's. <u>Even though there were people who said "prosperity... was 'just around the corner,'" the narrator and her community knew better than to believe those words. They had always been poor. Their hard work never paid off. Those words, according to the narrator, "were white folks’ words." Maybe prosperity would return to white people soon, but the narrator's community had never seen or had it; the American Dream never came true for them. How can they believe those words if the people who say such words are the ones who exploit their work?</u>
Answer:
Romeo is the male lead in the play and acts as the play’s hero. He is central to the plot through his relationship with Juliet, the heroine, and many of Romeo’s choices govern the action in the play. For example, his choice to go to the Capulet feast against his better judgement leads to him meeting Juliet. His choice to avenge Mercutio’s death leads to his banishment and the desperate plan he and Juliet embark upon to be reunited, which ends in their death.
TIP:
It is important to look at Romeo’s actions in Act V Scene 3. Make notes on what he does and why you think he acts as he does (for example, lying to Balthasar and killing Paris in fury). Do these actions match our earlier impressions of Romeo’s character? Is Romeo just the sensitive and romantic young man we considered him to be in Act I?
I'm pretty sure the answer is B :)
