How does Amanda Gorman explore the themes of the good life in her poem “The Hill We Climb?”

1 answer:

4 0

Amanda Gorman wrote and performed "The Hill We Climb" to celebrate the 2021 inauguration of Joe Biden as 46th President of the United States. The poem celebrates the U.S. not as a "perfect union," but as a country that has the grit to struggle with its all-too-real problems. Progress, the poem argues, doesn't happen all at once: it's a slow and sometimes painful "climb" up the "hill" of justice, a climb that takes patience and humility. To this poem's speaker, change is hard work, but it's always possible: dedicated Americans can see—and be!—the "light" of a better future.

1. The word in the passage that is used connotatively is: C. Suffered

To use a word connotatively means that a word can change its meaning when used in different contexts such as the verb suffer here, that its general meaning is "to feel pain or to be in an unpleasant situation", but if you say "who on account of his illness was suffered to be out of irons" the verb suffer here means "to allow " or to permit": "who on account of his illness was allowed to be out of irons."

3. The primary source from early American and colonial literature is: A. the autobiography of Olaudah Equiano.

The Interesting Narrative of the Life Of Olaudah Equiano, an autobiography published in 1789, dealt with themes such as slavery in West Africa and how the experience, which was also personal, differed from slavery in the Americas. However, this autobiography helped in the creation of the 1807 Slave Trade Act, which ended the transatlantic slave trade for England and its colonies. Therefore, studying his work nowadays continues to be important when learning about African and African-American literature and history.

4. The effect of the repetition in the lines from Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven is: A. It creates an anxious tone.

Repetition in literature is usually used to increase enthusiasm or creating anxious tones and, as the purpose of Poe in these lines is to increase suspense and also, terror, when telling the story, the use of repetition works pretty well here.
