PLEASE HELP ENGLISH QUESTIONS 2 and 3

Answer:

Question 2 - One of the main points of reptition in this poem is the idea that the speaker doesn't want to bring a child into this world. This is stated in lines 2 and 8 as, "I cannot let you in," and in line 10 as, "I cannot bear the pain." The speaker understands how hard it is to survive in today's society as a black woman. She knows that if she birthed a child, they would face a life of discrimination and racism as well. The speaker is explaining that she won't let her desire for a child to convince her to have one because of the pain they will face as a person of color. She couldn't bear to see her child face the hardships she does, which further contributes to the theme of not wanting to have a child.

Question 3 - The repition of the word "child" makes the strongest impact on the overall message of the poem. Children are seen as an emblem for pure happiness and by describing the suffering the child will later face, the reader sympathizes with the speakers situation. In line 1 it states, "Don't knock at the door, little child," and in line 15 it states, "Be still, be still, my precious child." These sentences are as if the speaker is talking to her child. She says "little child" and "my precious child" even though she knows that she couldn't bear to bring a child into this cruel world. She wouldn't want to ruin the innocence children with the racist world she lives in. This leaves the reader feeling sympathatic for this woman and the struggles she faces as a black woman.

hope this helps and I hope you are doing ok :)

I have to write two small paragraphs on Should government provide health care? can someone help and just give me their opinion o
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

I would say that yes government should provide health care.

Explanation:

Start off your first paragraph with your opinion and add one reason. An example would be, Government should provide health care because reason 1. Discuss reason 1 in the first paragraph. For the second paragraph start the same way, I think government should provide health care because reason 2. If you have text then include quotes. In one of your paragraphs include a counter claim. Basically say, Some people may say government should not provide health care because (insert reason). Then say, this is not a realistic reason because..... At the end of your first paragraph write a transitional sentence such as, government has many other reasons to provide health care or something along that line. At the end of your second paragraph write a concluding sentence. For example, government should provide health care because reason 1 and reason 2 prove that it would be beneficial.  One reason you could use I thought of right away was so that people are able to care more about helping their child, significant other, mom, dad, etc get better than worry about how much money the life saving procedure is going to cost.  A reason you could say to not provide health care, is that insurance would most likely fight procedures more and it would be difficult to get treatments because if everyone can now get procedures they need for free, some people may not be accepted because they are not in as dire of circumstances. Overall, a general rule of thumb I use is pick the side that is easiest to support not what you necessarily agree with.
