Answer: Hughes's poem uses Whitman's idea that all Americans are important members of this country's society.

Explanation:

Whitman's poem "I Hear America Singing", and Hughes' " I, Too, Sing America" have an idea in common - that all people, including black people, are important members of the American society. In his poem, Whitman writes about people of various professions who, despite all the differences between them, feel happy and free in America. Hughes, on the other hand, tries to prove this point through a metaphor: the speaker of the poem (who is a black man) describes himself as a "darker brother" that has to hide in the kitchen when the guests arrive. This man has a right to feel free in his country, but is treated unfairly. The point that both poets try to convey is that freedom should be promised to all people, regardless of their race, profession, or any other factor.

1. What connection has Mr. Enfield made about the door where he saw Mr. Hyde enter

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The connection that Mr. Enfield had in his mind in relation to that door was with an odd and strange story.

Explanation:

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a novella written by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story is about the dual personality of Dr. Jekyll.

In the first chapter, when Mr. Enfield and Mr. Utterson were on their morning walk, they halted before the two doors. Mr. Utterson asks Mr. Enfield if he had ever noticed that peculiar door. To this, Mr. Enfield agrees and says that he shares a strange connection with that door.

One black winter morning around 3 AM, Mr. Enfield saw a man trampling down a young girl of age eight or ten. The man did not seem to be moved by it, thus the crowd blackmailed the man to compensate or his reputation will be at stake. The man then enters that strange door and comes back with a check of ninety pounds and ten pounds in gold.

Mr. Enfield calls this connection a strange and odd one as the man was weird and the sign that bore on the check belonged to a very reputed man. He called that house 'Black Mail House' with a door.
