Answer:

A seat at the table and the freedom to dance

Explanation:

In "I, Too," by Langston Hughes, the poet compares the fair brother representing White Americans and the darker brother representing African Americans. The fair brother denies his brother a sit at the table and sends him to the kitchen. This highlights the inequality that African Americans face. The darker brother, however, rejoices in the hope that he would gain equality someday by sitting at the table and nobody will dare send him to the kitchen again.

In "Dream Variations", Hughes likens equality to a time when he gains freedom to dance, whirl, and rest after a white day (symbolizing the cruelty of racial discrimination by their White counterparts) is gone.

Which of the following sentences has proper subject verb agreement? *

OleMash [197]

The proper agreement between subject and verb can be seen in the sentence: The girls want to go to the store to get cookies for their holiday party.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Agreement between verb and subject occurs when the verb is correctly conjugated with the subject of the sentence.
The verb is the word that indicates an action that takes place in the present, past, or future, and the subject is the word that presents the person or thing that is promoting or suffering the action of the verb.
In this case, we can see the verb "to want" and "to go" in the sentences above and the subject is "The girls."
"The girls" is associated with the pronoun "they" which requires the verb to be conjugated as "want" and "go."

Therefore, we can recognize that the correct answer is the sentence:

The girls want to go to the store to get cookies for their holiday party.

in chapter 26, Jaggers meets pip’s mates,startop and drummle, for the first time. Analyze jagger’s reaction to startop, and comp

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Pip stands in the office of his guardian, Mr. Jaggers, who also serves as a criminal lawyer. At the moment, Mr. Jaggers is in the wash closet, or bathroom, scrubbing his hands - as if to scour away any germs left behind by his clients.

When Mr Jaggers finishes, he returns to the room where Pip is and asks him and his friends to be his dinner guests the following night. Having spent the previous night with Mr Jaggers's clerk, John Wemmick, and having been told to expect this invitation, Pip readily accepts.

Mr Jaggers's Home

Along with his friends Herbert, Drummle, and Startop, whom Mr Jaggers has also invited, Pip arrives for dinner the following evening. Mr. Jaggers's house is grand but in disrepair: the paint is old and the windows are covered with dirt. Still, it is a functional house. None of the objects appears to be simply decorative; all seem to be used for practical purposes - like the sensible lighting fixtures and law books on the shelves. Unlike his possessions, many of the rooms in his house go unused, as Mr. Jaggers explains to Pip and his friends.

One of these friends, Drummle, who lives in the same house as Pip, especially interests Mr. Jaggers. Pip's guardian refers to him as 'the spider' because he is a 'blotchy, sprawly, sulky fellow.' Far from being repelled by Drummle's sinister appearance, Mr. Jaggers explains to Pip that he is drawn to Drummle's looks and begins a conversation with him as they sit down for dinner.

The Housekeeper

Once seated, they are served by a housekeeper named Molly, whose appearance Pip finds unsettling. Although middle-aged, the housekeeper looks younger than she is, as Pip observes while she moves agilely around the room. Her complexion is very light, her eyes quite big, and her hair especially long and thick. Her face has a mysterious, 'fiery air' that reminds Pip of something emanating from a pot belonging to the witches in a production of Macbeth he has recently seen.

As she brings dish after dish, Pip notices how steadfastly she watches Mr. Jaggers, as though worried he might find something to criticize. He doesn't. Instead, Mr. Jaggers and his guests enjoy a pleasant dinner. As the wine flows, Drummle becomes outspoken. He tells Mr. Jaggers that he is stronger than Pip, Herbert, and Startop, flexing his muscles to demonstrate his superiority, a display his companions then mimic.

A moment later, as the housekeeper reaches down to remove a plate from the table, Mr. Jaggers grabs her hand. He asks her to show her other wrist, the one she hides behind her back, to his guests. The housekeeper protests but finally gives in; her other wrist is severely scarred. Showing it off to his guests, Mr. Jaggers marvels at the strength she has in her wrists, which, Mr. Jaggers states, are stronger than any other person's.
