Why does the spiderwebby church give Ponyboy a feeling of premonition?

English
1 answer:
Veronika [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Ponyboy tries to stay neutral in his description of the church.  That fits with the overall style of the novel.  It reads like an investigative report focused on the plight of the Greasers.  I believe that was intentional by Hinton.  Hinton doesn't stay completely neutral though.  She is able to give the reader reasons to care about the Greasers and feel their pain.  That style comes out through Ponyboy.  As I said, Ponyboy tries to stay neutral in his description of the church.  He talks about how the church is off by itself.  He tells the reader that it was small, and he tells the reader that it was covered in spiderwebs.  It sounds like the perfect place to hideout.  However, Ponyboy can't help but narrate the feelings he gets from the church.

1. How, according to Diana George, is poverty
liq [111]

Answer:

To Diana George, poverty is represented by non-profit organizations such Habitat for Humanity in a way of despair, or something that can be easily seen or recognized. Or in the case of this organization and many others, it tries as to find an surfire way to make others empathise with poverty. The problems George identifies as a result of this tactic is that poverty is not always easily recognized, and on even questions that “If it doesn’t look like poverty, then how do we adress it?” (p. 450) The largest, most pressing issue is that seeing poverty in one way instead limits our understanding on how to deal with poverty.

At the very beginning of the article, George creates an anecdote of how she encounters charities. It details her going through her mail and looking over many other poverty organization’s mail. This shows their tactic, of presenting poverty as grim and ragged, while a quote from bell hooks before that states that seeing poverty in one way challenges how people look and deal with it. Providing these two largely contrasting viewpoints, in a way, makes them appeal to different audiences by expressing both her issue and a counterclaim to structure the remainder of textual analysis.

The purpose of George’s textual analysis is to ultimately show that representing poverty as weak and depraving only hinders the fight against it instead of resolving it. Everyday, it’s a question of who is poor and who is not, but that itself is becoming increasingly difficult to tell. This rudimentary mindset eventually leads George to state that “There are certainly many cultural and political reasons for these problems…but I would suggest that the way the way poverty countinues to be represented in this country and on tapes limits our understanding.” So if people continue to see poverty in this sight, the ones that are poor but still have a home or job will challenge this belief. People will not know how to deal with them, and this essentially why George criticizes non-profit organizations such as Health for Habitat

How does reading this poem add to your understanding of the myth of icarus​
mario62 [17]

The moral of the story is life is a gift, and maintaining a balance with everything in moderation will ensure a long one. The wings represent the father giving his son life; the ocean and the sun represent the extremes of denying and overindulging yourself; flying in between is the answer.
