Answer:

1. The farmers are like kittens because they do not speak up for their rights and this is comparable to the timidity of the kittens.

Evidence: Holding up a kitten Marta said, "This is us small meek animals we don’t speak up.”

2. Marta suggests that they go on strike in two weeks to protest for their rights to "higher wages and better housing".

Explanation:

In page 132 of the book Las Almendras, Marta is unhappy with the treatment meted onto the farmers as well as their inability to speak up and demand their rights to food and proper housing. Using a metaphor to drive home her point, Marta holds up a kitten and compares the farmers to it.

Just as this animal was "small and meek", so were the farmers who appeared small in the eyes of their oppressors. She encouraged them to snap out of this timidity by protesting for their rights.

In about 250 words, describe how the themes in "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" interact and build on each other.
vesna_86 [32]

There are two main themes that dominate the story "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" by Richard Wright. These two themes interact and build on each other throughout the story.

The first theme is that of power. This is clear throughout the story in all the decisions Dave makes. In the story, Dave wants to own a gun. However, the gun is seen as a way to become powerful and masculine, something he has been denied. He cannot keep the money he earns, he has to obey his parents, he is not respected among his peers. This leads him to want to accomplish power in any way he can find. Moreover, he is denied this autonomy because of racial reasons.

On the other hand, the story also has a component of a coming-of-age story. Dave wants to achieve autonomy, and he wants to be able to act freely. He also wants to be more independent and more of an adult, which in turn signifies more power. This is why he gets the gun. And in this way, both themes are related and build on each other. However, Dave discovers that having more power does not equal being more of an adult.
