As the Vietnam War continued to drag on and American casualties continued to rise throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, Americans began taking a more pessimistic view on war and the government. The draft, or conscription of civilians into the military, had become increasingly unpopular along with the war for numerous reasons. Wealthier Americans often avoided the draft by paying for time in college, which meant the burden frequently fell on lower-income groups and minority communities to fight.

In order to avoid being drafted, a timely and self-imposed injury might lead the doctor to characterize one as unfit for duty, or one could head north to Canada; British Columbia on the west coast was a popular spot for so-called ''draft dodgers''. After the withdrawal of American forces in 1973, U.S. soldiers could only enlist voluntarily rather than being conscripted. To reinstate the military draft would be highly controversial and difficult in 21st-century America, with the likelihood of a draft returning becoming decreasingly likely as time goes on.

Another domestic effect of Vietnam was the evaporation of Americans' trust in government and politicians. The release of the Pentagon Papers in 1970 demonstrated that U.S. presidents from the 1950s onward had misled the public and over-exaggerated U.S. interests in Vietnam. Further eroding the public's trust in politicians was the Watergate scandal. This scandal, which led to President Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974, also revealed the illegal acts of Nixon and other high-level federal officials.

Answer:

The caged bird sings; the free bird thinks

Explanation:

The pair of uses of figurative language from "The Caged Bird" that help support the extended metaphor of freedom versus oppression is "the caged bird sings; the free bird thinks".

Metaphor is a figure of speech which actually describes an action or thing in a way that is not literally true but it helps to make a comparison.

Which story is often associated with magical realism?
nalin [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The Metamorphosis.

Explanation:

Magical realism, as the name itself suggests, is a type of predominantly realistic writing that contains some supernatural, or <em>magical </em>elements as well. Even though it <em>mostly </em>refers to Latin American literature, there are many examples of magical realism in European literature as well, such as Bulgakov's <em>The Master and Margarita </em>or Kafka's <em>The Metamorphosis. </em>

In <em>The Metamorphosis, </em>the protagonist Gregor suddenly turns into a cockroach, which is obviously magical. The realism is the fact that his transformation is a symbol of his routine, unhappy life.

Are the following sentences CORRECT or INCORRECT? (it is asking about colons, semicolons, and commas)
natima [27]

I'm not the greatest at grammar, but I think the very first one is incorrect. It should just be a comma, then the second just a comma as well, but the last one is correct. (I have no idea, I am sorry if you get it wrong.)
