Read the excerpt below and answer the question. HALLY: That's perfectly correct. You see, you mustn't get the wrong idea about m

e and my Dad, Sam. We also have our good times together. Some bloody good laughs. He's got a marvelous sense of humor. Want to know what our favorite joke is? He gives out a big groan, you see, and says: "It's not fair, is it, Hally?" Then I have to ask; "What, chum?" And then he says: "A n****r's ar*e" . . . and we both have a good laugh. (The men stare at him in disbelief.) What's the matter, Willie? Don't you catch the joke? You always were a bit slow on the uptake. It's what's called a pun. You see, fair means both light in color and to be just and decent. (He turns to Sam.) I thought you would catch it, Sam. Why does Hally tell this joke to Sam and Willie?
A to make Sam and Willie laugh
B to explain to Willie what a pun is
C to hurt Sam and Willie with a racist joke
D to show the culture of white South Africans

Answer:

D to show the culture of white South Africans

Explanation:

Hally initially tells this joke so that she can show Sam and Willie that the relationship between him and his dad wasn't always bad. However, the joke really shows the culture of white South Africans. Telling this joke shows the naivete of Hally in how he views the joke as appropriate to tell around Sam and Willie. This shows the culture of white South Africans and how they viewed black people.

In “Borders,” by Thomas King, the mother’s refusal to declare either American or Canadian citizenship is best explained by her c
liraira [26]
<span>In this case I believe the mother's pride is a characteristic that too many people have lost to "fit in" one way or another. When the Canadian border guard says, "you have to be American or Canadian" expresses how you can only be A or B, while the diversity that exists both in Canada and the U.S. is ignored. The trials she faced for standing up for what was right for her, emphasizing her heritage as Blackfoot, are minimal to what has been faced in the past. In the sense that her pride delayed the trip to Salt Lake City, yes it hindered her, but in reality it was her own personal victory. She is able to pass through the border by giving the same reply to the question of citizenship, which demonstrates how something that seemed to be so crucial (being Canadian or American), can be waved when you realize unimportant it truly is. However, winning one small battle is not like winning the war against cultural discrimination and injustice, yet this taught her son to be proud of whom he is. In the end, I believe her pride was necessary to show how sticking to your morals can bring about a drastic change, no matter how small.</span>
