Answer:

I think that the tone of this passage is <em>regretful</em>. <u>The correct option in the last one.</u>

Explanation:

In these lines, the author tells how he/she perceives the reality of the white South Africans, he/she says that they are afraid of losing privileges, and that they "<em>would rather die</em>” than give up those privileges. These words are filled with sorrow, with sadness and without hope. The author tells this as a hard truth, but truth at last. <u>The author is not violent in this description</u>, he/she is <u>just pointing out the reality</u> and that is why I chose regretful as the correct tone for describing the excerpt. <u>The author is not directly judging the white South Africans acts, he/she is just giving information with a connotation of sorrow and regret.</u>

kkurt [141]

Answer:

Background or settings of a play.

Explanation:

The historical consent of the play means a variety of things. It's the relationships between the different characters, their personalities and the situation in which they find themselves. It's also the social, historical and cultural context of the play when it was written – the background or setting.

For example, In the tragedy of Hamlet, there are many past historical references. When Shakespeare wrote this play he had many of the past historical events sewed into the very fabric of the plot. These historical references are, in some cases quite predominate among the regular dialog, where as in other cases it is almost unnoticeable. The very plot itself can be linked to murders, wars, and rivalries that all occurred in the time before the Elizabethan Theatre.

Many argue that Walt Whitman is a Transcendentalist.
GarryVolchara [31]

<em>Walt Whitman</em> was a poet of the Romanticism movement and mostly all of his literary works follows the transitions of between the transcendentalist and the philosophical realism.

Transcendendalists believed that society and social institutions corrupted the purity of individuals. The guiding principle of this philosophical movement is the belief that people are at their best when they are self-reliant and independent, but a little of idealism was corrupted inside the transcendentalism adding that the body was coupled with a sense of metaphysics or higher than other things.

From the notes on <em>Leaves of Grass</em>, Whitman should be considered a transcendentalist because in this collection the poems involves the themes of the body and soul. It stands both for the individual self and all of the humanity, declaring that the body is one and the same as the soul. His writings followed the transcendentalism with idealistic thoughts, stating that the peacefulness of the body is better accomplished with the sense of self-reliance and independence.

Please tell me what is a Hasty Generalization Fallacy?
podryga [215]
It's when someone makes a fast and false conclusion because they only know the general idea of the thing they are concluding, and not all of the facts, if that makes sense. It's kind of like a stereotype, automatically assuming that someone is a certain way just because they participate in a certain sport, for example.
