Answer:

The author's purpose is to highlight the persistence of racism.

Explanation:

The short story "Of the Coming of John" shows how even if a black citizen is well educated, educated and promotes the good of society, with progressive attitudes and actions, he will always be seen as inferior to white citizens, because when the population looks for him, she will see him only as a black man. This is because racism is so ingrained in our society that it prevails, regardless of the situation.

When the author quotes this short story, he wants to emphasize this theme and provoke people's reflection on the racist concepts they encourage.

Explain how the speaker of “To His Coy Mistress” views women in general. In other words, what does the poem reveal about the tim
kati45 [8]
The persona in "To His Coy Mistress" is basically a guy coaxing his lady love to "do it" with him using arguments of time and mortality. While this concept of convincing a woman to "give it up" is timeless, in this poem it is rather clear how the persona sees women as objects for pleasure. His persuasion, while flowing with cadence, reeks of machismo typical of predominantly patriarchal age.

nalin [4]
<span>Muir's use of diction creates a mood of urgency and fear. The highlighted words - difficult, difficult, force, crooked, struggling, tangled, fallen, fear, faint and hungry - come together to make you feel that the author is in danger. The imagery is clear so that it comes alive in your mind. Diction can help create a mood which can help bring everything else together.

Hope this helps.</span>
