Answer:
In her essay, Jesmyn Ward describes racism in Mississippi telling real situations that she, her family and friends lived there. She is very critical of the systemic racism in the south of the country: "Sometimes the aggression is deeper, systemic. It is black children in my family enrolling in free preschool programs where their teachers barely tolerate them, ignore them, do a terrible job of leading them to learning."However, she also relates how the people she knows and love try to fight back the racism by staying alert when they see a situation where someone is in danger or is being discriminated:"I remember that Mississippi is not only its ugliness, its treachery, its willful ignorance (...). Here is one of my best friends from high school, a white woman with two toddlers, who stops her car when she sees black people pulled over by the police, pulling out her phone and filming in an attempt to belay disaster, to hold authority accountable."
Jesmyn Ward also uses figurative language throughout the essay to strengthen her claim, to give more meaning to the situations she is describing and to properly describe what she goes through when she is there, to emphasize and transmit the way she feels: "We stand at the edge of a gulf, looking out on a surging, endless expanse of time and violence, constant and immense, and like water, it wishes to swallow us. We resist.
Answer:
OA. The story tells about two girls and their experience having to compete against one another.
From the memoirs of Otto Lais, a member of the German Infantry Regiment number one hundred and sixty-nine, it is observed that certain comments were made in relation to the Battle of the Somme which lasted between 1914-1916.
- A portion of the excerpt reads as follows:
<em>"Belt after belt was fire, 250 rounds - 1000 - 3000...18,000 rounds!"</em>
- In order to determine what he meant by this statement, it is important to read the protext, the text, and the statement in context.
- Hence the portions immediately before and after the statement relating to the number of bullets read thus:
<em>"The machine gunners were earning their pay today. Belt after belt was fired, 250 rounds - 1,000 - 3,000...The British kept charging forward. Despite the fact that hundreds are already lying dead in the shell holes to our front, fresh waves keep emerging from the assault trenches...18,000 rounds!"</em>
Then there is the last sentence from that excerpt:
"<em>The youth of England bled to death in front of Serre (our position)"</em>
- The report was one of bravery on their part and how they "dealt" with the English Army. Hence, the reference to bullet rounds was used to convey a sense of patriotism (Option D).
- If he meant to convey hatred, the document would have been filled with words describing the British army in such a manner.
