May 17, 1980, was a quiet day in Silver Lake, Washington. If you had been there, you probably would have seen Mount St. Helens,

one of the state’s famous mountains. The mountain looked like a cone capped with snow. It rose from a valley of deep green trees and bright blue lakes. Mount St. Helens is volcanic. Scientists were watching the mountain carefully that spring. For two months, they recorded small earthquakes near the mountain. Steam spewed from its top. And yet, from a distance, the mountain looked picture-perfect. On May 18, 1980, an earthquake shook the mountain. The mountain’s white dome collapsed. Rocks and snow tore down the mountainside. The volcano erupted. A giant mushroom-shaped cloud of ash and steam rose into the sky. A river of hot lava flowed down the mountain, scorching acres of wildlife. Mudflows, made up of melted snow and debris, buried plants and trees. In some places, the mudflows were over 300 feet deep!

A. Why was Mount St. Helens famous?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

In his essay "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," poet Langston Hughes interprets the statement of a young African-American poet that, "I want to be a poet—not a Negro poet," to mean, "I want to write like a white poet"; this suggests he was really expressing a subconscious desire to be white.  Hughes goes on to argue that this apparent aspiration to bourgeois gentility, as embodied by the dominant Caucasian society, and the psychological cost that adherence to its constraints on creative freedom implies, is terribly damaging to the quality of the creative work and to the spiritual integrity of any African American artist who would embrace it. And it only adds insult to injury that not only does white society pressure African American artists to conform to its standards, but his own people often share the same attitude: "Oh, be respectable, write about nice people, show how good we are, . . . "
