Huh?
What’s your question?
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read this excerpt from james baldwin's "notes of a native son":the day of my father's funeral had also been my nineteenth birthday. as we drove him to the graveyard, the spoils of injustice, anarchy, discontent, and hatred were all around us. it seemed to me that god himself had devised, to mark my father's end, the most sustained and brutally dissonant of codas. and it seemed to me, too, that the violence which rose all about us as my father left the world had been devised as a corrective for the pride of his eldest son.which sentence best explains how the structure of the excerpt supports the author's purpose?
a.it ties baldwin's father's funeral to his birthday and shows that the author is angry that his father died on that day. b.it compares a term signifying the end of a musical piece with his father's death to illustrate the finality of death. c.it contrasts the somber mood of a funeral procession with the happy memories baldwin has about his father. d.it interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.
Answer:
d. it interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.
Explanation:
The text above was taken from the autobiography of a black author, who wanted to show the violence, intolerance and injustices that racism caused in a society. He presents these themes well in the excerpt shown above, where the structure allows the author to interweave elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hate is destructive and how it shook his family and transformed a moment of celebration into a moment of mourning.
The elements of Gothic literature that appear in the first four chapters are sorrow, loneliness, and death. As the story progresses, more dark themes and motifs are added.
Explanation:
it was a fun day going hiking with my family. We decided to have an experience by traveling through the woods. In other words it could be described as a huge forest. We entered the forest and went further deep in to it admiring every single view of it... After some time,the forest started getting misty...until fog happened to cover the whole area. I was told to stay calm but the fear of being unable to see anyone made me nervous anx stiff. I was scared and started calling my parents to come near me. But their voices were not to be heard.!They were not anywhere near me. I yelled hopelessly. It felt like my head was going to burst with all the worries and stress. Who's going to save me now? Would I ever be lucky enough to meet my family? Such thoughts started striking in my head .... I could hear animals making wierd noises....But what if I was going to be one of their <u>preys</u><u>.</u><u>?</u><u>.</u><u>.</u><u>(</u>check the spelling).
<u> </u>I started sweating...sweat rolled over my body, the breeze was warning in my ears.
I could slightly see tall trees sorrounding me... the fog had stared to dissapear....I was still alone... my phone showed no signals....
To my mere luck I heard someone calling my name from faraway.. .. I ran towards that direction.... and their was my mother . I ran as fast as the wind towards her and into her arms..... this was an experience thet i might never forget...etc
u can also put it as a dream and end it up with u waking up from tge dream
