Answer:
An allusion.
Explanation:
An allusion is a literary device or figurative language that writers use to bring forth an expression about something in particular, but not explicitly mentioning it. It is like giving an example of something without directly referring to it.
The given excerpt from "My First March", the author refers to how a group of people began singing a song about "heatwave" which is a reference to the hot and scorching nature of the present situation. This is an allusion to the weather of the place, with the song's title an allusion to the weather.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Yes, it is merely human nature. No matter what, we always make assumptions about people, whether it be on their looks, the way they act, etc. That is merely human nature. However, that does not make it right. Based on today's principles, it is considered immoral to make assumptions on people based on things about them. But like I said before, it is still human nature, just human nature we tend to try and avoid.
