By describing what the speaker likes, Hughes suggests that there are many things which people enjoy regardless of their race. That is the way Hughes expresses a distinct viewpoint about race in the poem "Theme for English B".
In this poem, the speaker is a black young man, who is also the only "colored" student in his class. Moreover, <u>he admits that he enjoys doing many things that people of other races also enjoy such as eating, sleeping, working, and understanding life</u>. He wants to express the idea that,<u> even though he seems to be very different from his peers, he actually shares things in common with them</u> ("I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like / The same things other folks like who are other races."). Therefore, Hughes expresses a different view about race by supporting the idea of diversity and implying that skin colour does not define someone as a person.

Answer:
In the excerpt, the word "charm" is being compared with
D. name.
Explanation:
The excerpt we are analyzing here belongs to the epic poem "The Odyssey", by Greek poet Homer. Not much is known about Homer. It is believed that he was born between the 12th and the 18th centuries. His place of birth is also unknown.
In "The Odyssey", the epic hero Odysseus is trying to return home after fighting in the Trojan War. On his way, he and his ship crew end up in a land filled with one-eyed giants known as Cyclopes. In the passage, Odysseus has deceived a Cyclops by telling him his name was Nobody. Now that he has hurt the Cyclops, when others ask him who hurt him, all the monster can say is "Nobody hurt me."
<u>In the line "to see how like a charm the name deceived them," we have an example of simile. Simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things with the help of words such as "like" or "as". In this case, the two things being compared are "charm" and "name". The name worked like a charm to deceive the Cyclopes.</u>
Yes, this is what a figure of speech means. In a figure of speech, the common meaning of a word can have different decided meanings. So, true.

Answer:
Depending on what kind of bird it is it could mean anything. Ravens symbolize mischief and trickery, Quails mean protectiveness, Roadrunners mean mental speed and agility. Eagles symbolize mental enlightenment, hawks mean clear sight and truth seeker, and owls mean insight. Though the flying of birds can be seen as hope and freedom. I’m sure most people have dreamt of being a bird and flying away from our problems and just being free. I thing the thought of seeing bird fly freely gives people hope to be like that someday, just free.
