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

Explanation:

Whitman's poem<em> "I Hear America Singing"</em>, and Hughes' "<em> I, Too, Sing America</em>" 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.

Think of a film that has had a strong or profound effect on you in some important way. Share the film, and describe how it affec
olganol [36]

Answer: Blood diamond

Explanation:

This film is set in Sierra Leone, a country that belongs to the African continent. While the civil war takes place, two people embark on a dangerous adventure to find a very valuable stone.

This movie touched me in a very strong way because of how the abuse occurred to the families of that place. It is no surprise to many that wars are taking place in various countries of the African continent due to the precious stones in that place. It was very sad to see how the children were separated from their families to make them violent warriors.

It is a situation where I try to put myself in the shoes of many of these families, the pain of being separated and being used for negative purposes is something I would not like to experience. The pain that families feel when they know that at any moment their existence can end, being used as slaves and not having the opportunity to say anything is something that hurts.

This movie allows us to see parts of Africa that we often ignore. A terrible war is being waged in many parts of this continent for certain groups to feed their wealth and their evil.

What generalization of life is most evident in these lines from the novel As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner? . . . motherhood w
Savatey [412]

Answer:

I believe the safest choice is letter A. the failure of language to convey the truth of experience.

Explanation:

We might be, at first, tempted to choose letter C concerning labels imposed by men that restrict a woman's life. After all, there is much of feminism in Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying"'s narrator, Addie Bundren. However, the passage we are analyzing here and the context which surrounds it show that<u> Addie's indeed discussing the inadequacy of words to describe experiences. </u>

She sees language as something invented, something built with the purpose of explaining an experience, a feeling. However, she does not think words are effective. Motherhood is only a word, a group of letters and sounds that tries to summarize what the experience of being a mother is. But the experience in itself is much fuller, much richer than the idea that word can ever convey. The same happens to other words, feelings, experiences. As Addie says, <em>"That was when I learned that words are no good; that words don’t ever fit even what they are trying to say at.  When he was born I knew that motherhood was invented by someone who had to have a word for it because the ones that had the children didn’t care whether there was a word for it or not.  I knew that fear was invented by someone that had never had fear; pride, who never had the pride."</em>

I believe it is safe, then, to choose letter A. the failure of language to convey the truth of experience.
