Read this excerpt from James Baldwin's "Notes of a Native Son": When he died I had been away from home for a little over a year.

In that year I had had time to become aware of the meaning of all my father's bitter warnings, had discovered the secret of his proudly pursed lips and rigid carriage: I had discovered the weight of white people in the world. I saw that this had been for my ancestors and now would be for me an awful thing to live with and that the bitterness which had helped to kill my father could also kill me. Which sentence best explains how Baldwin conveys his ideas on bitterness and acceptance in this excerpt? A. He blames racism for his father's and his ancestors' deaths and is resigned to living with the racism.
B. He accepts the power of white people and will not let bitterness build up inside him.
C. He learns that racism causes bitterness and accepts the reality of having to live with it.
D. He learns the source of his father's bitterness and knows that if he succumbs to it, it would kill him.

In at least 150 words, describe how Nazim Hikmet was connected to the avant-garde, and how this connection was developed in his
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Avant-garde

The above word has it's origins in French language which means to “vanguard” or “fore-guard” or "to protect".

It was as a military term used to describe a small troop of highly skilled soldiers who went before the rest of the army to survey the terrain and communicate any dangers perceived.

Hikmet was introduced to the world of rhymes and verses at a very early age, his grandfather being one of the major influences.

By the time he was seventeen, he had published the first volume of his poems. Soon after this, he joined the Naval War School during the First World War and worked as a teacher in an school located in the eastern parts of Turkey. It was during this period that he started nursing the avant-garde ideas.

He was attracted by the promises by the Russian Revolution of egalitarianism.  Nazim Hikmet went to Moscow in 1922. There he got himself admitted into  the University of Moscow and where he studied Sociology and Economics.

In 1924, after the Turkish Liberation War, he returned to Turkey in 1924 but was arrested shortly afterwards for his writings in a Communist magazine. In 1926, two years later, he managed to escape to Moscow where he continued writing.

Cheers!

3 reasons why Johnny murdered Bob.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: Fear of himself being hurt and mainly his friend being drowned. Bob and his gang of Soc’s were holding Ponyboy’s head under water in a fountain. Johnny reacted out of fear and protectivness of a friend who he basically saw as family in a way. Also, Johnny had been jumped before and nearly died from his wounds I believe. Therefore he became skittish even more so than before because of his parents fighting and abuse.All of this caused him to be cautious and when he saw his friend drowning and the possibility of him being hurt made him act on his instinct.
