Answer:
The correct answer is C - main subject.
Explanation:
In English, the topic of something is what the paper is centered around. For example, if you write an email and add a subject line, you are summarizing it very shortly. If I wrote a huge email explaining the benefits of healthcare, my subject would be "The Benefits of Healthcare." Therefore, C is your answer.
The answer cannot be A because your opinion is what is used to gain the topic of an essay. Your opinion is your stance on the topic and therefore is not a topic but rather your belief in the matter.
The answer cannot be B because the issue is why you would write the paper and does not mean that is what the paper will be about. For example, if my paper was misgraded, I would write an email about how upset I am. However, the topic would be to get the grade changed.
The answer is not D because a thesis statement is a broad opening into the evidence that supports the claim or topic of your essay.
I hope this helps.
The correct answer is the last one. Kilpatrick's article shares how White House staff feels about Nixon's resignation.
In the article, numerous aides and officials are quoted. Each gives his thoughts and/or opinions on Nixon's resignation. Many are sorry to see him go. Therefore the second option -- that the staff is unaffected -- is not correct.
The article does not say much about who will become president after Nixon. Furthermore, the staff itself is not changing; only Nixon is leaving. Therefore, the final answer is the correct one.
Answer:
The figurative language is used by the poet to develop the theme of appearance v. reality in the poem "We Wear the Mask." The use of figurative language has helped to bring clarity to the text.
Explanation:
"We Wear the Mask" is a poem written by Paul Laurence Dunbar. The poem speaks about the identity crises when people are faced with racism. The poet brings a strong message through this poem, that people who suffer from racism are taught to wear a mask of happiness and smile to show that the racism does not affect them and to pretend that everything is okay. But, on the contrary, it does affect them mentally and emotionally.
<u>The figurative languages used by Dunbar in the poem are personification, symbolism, apostrophe</u>.
Personification is used in the line '<u>We wear the mask that grins and lies</u>.' Personification is a literary device that is used to show human emotions and characteristics to inhuman objects such as animals. In this line 'mask' which is a non-living object, is shown with human emotions of smiling and grinning.
Symbolism is used in the same line '<u>we wear the mask that grins and lies</u>.' In this line symbolism is used in the word 'mask' which symbolizes an act of hiding true identity. It is an act of disguising yourself and not revealing who you are truly. Since the theme of the poem is hiding true identity, this symbolism is an important figurative device.
The other device used by the poet is apostrophe in line '<u>We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries</u>.' Apostrophe is a device that is used to speak directly to someone who is not present while speaking or is dead, or to an inanimate object. The poet is speaking in this line and calling to great Jesus Christ.
These figurative language has helped to bring clarity and understanding of the theme and the text. And also the message that the poet wants to convey through this poem.
Narrative tends to be more of a story and persuasive is trying to get the reader to think a certain way or do a different thing
