A reader who has not been told that James Weldon Johnson’s The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is a novel can be forgiven for not knowing how to classify it. When it was first published, anonymously, in 1912, the book included a preface from the publisher, written almost exactly as Johnson proposed, that described it as a “new picture of conditions brought about by the race question in the United States” (p. xxxiii). The preface suggests that what follows is a sociological study. But in the novel’s first paragraph, the unnamed narrator tells us that he is “divulging the great secret” of his life, moved by “the same impulse which forces the un-found-out criminal to take somebody into his confidence” (p. 1). This beginning prepares us for a confessional narrative such as those by St. Augustine or Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Exemplifying the capacity of novels to absorb other genres, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is a sociological study in terms of its analysis of the dynamics of race, class, and geography, and a confessional narrative, albeit a fictional one. But it is as a novel that Johnson’s book engages us most urgently, in that the story of its narrator’s life is ultimately a plea for the reader’s understanding.

This is an example of how to write a post card with the information in the instructions. Feel free to change the place so that it will be more realistic:
Dear …,
Here I am, up north, to finally see the Niagara Falls! I told you this day would come!
We arrived a couple of days ago and, although the trip itself has been nice, the weather has been nasty – rainy and windy. Yesterday, since it was raining cats and dogs, we had to stay at the hotel. The rooms are bigger than I expected. The beds are comfortable, and they keep it all very clean, which you know is one of my pet peeves.
Today, we will finally go see the Falls. I’m writing this as I wait for the others at the reception. After finishing our tour there, we will have dinner to celebrate the safe trip.
And how are things with you? What’s the weather like in London right now? Write to me soon!

I say A or C. Both would make sense with this poem, A because the poem shows that the person walking, everything around them is passing quickly. or C because It explains how beautiful diamonds are but how powerful the wind is.

Answer:
“At the same time, the FBI and the Federal Communications Commission conducted separate investigations of the Japanese living in America.” “Alarmed at the enemy’s swift advance through the Pacific, military officials suggested that Japan might try to invade the west coast of America and that maybe the Issei and the Nisei who lived there would aid the invasion.” “Although the charge of Japanese sabotage on Hawaii was totally false, newspaper writers and radio broadcasters began warning of the danger of Japanese sabotage on the west coast.” “Japanese books and magazines were burned because of a rumor that FBI agents had found such materials in the homes of Issei arrested on suspicion of sabotage."
