Explanation:

In "The Miracle Worker", Helen Keller was taught by Miss Anne Sullivan on how to live a life of an invalid. Helen is deaf and blind, who had to be taught everything from scratch. This play is a dramatic representation of her early childhood days before she can spell or even do anything.

Act II of the play shows how Miss Anne tried to teach Helen words and even spell them. She also took it upon herself to teach her in a controlled environment, resulting in her and Helen staying in the garden house away from the family. This part of the play details how Anne struggled to teach Helen the basics of table manners, and then assuming full authority of her in order to fully control her actions and learning abilities away from the smothering love of Mr. and Mrs. Keller.

Paraphrase the following lines from Dunbar's "We Wear the Mask":

Reptile [31]

Explanation:

"We Wear a Mask" is famous Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem.

It deals with the status of African-American community in the late 1800s. Using "we" in the title of the poem, he gives it a personal note emphasizing that he is tha part of the community too.

Mask suggests hiding their real feelings, just like the mask hides the face. These lines suggest pretending to be happy in order to fit in, because showing real emotions falls on deaf ears and brings about lack of understanding. More precisely, these lines show that this methaphoric mask hides their pain and sadness ("torn and bleeding hearts") and hides the words they would express this with, replacing it with things other want to hear ("myriad subtleties").

Answer: A)- The reader doesn't expect to learn that Easton is the counterfeiter.

When Miss Fairchild recognizes Mr. Easton as one of the two men handcuffed to each other on the train, she, and the reader, are led to believe that Mr. Easton is a United States marshall on his way to take the man he´s handcuffed to into prison. However, when Mr. Easton and his companion leave, two passengers talk about the conversation that had taken place with Miss Fairchild. Based on how Mr. Easton and his companion were handcuffed, they come to the conclusion that Mr. Easton was actually the prisoner and not the Marshall.
