5 0

Answer:

D. Because of his upbringing, he did not act how white southerners expected blacks to act, so his murderers singled him out as a sign of unwanted racial progress.

Explanation:

Emmett Till, a 14 years old boy was killed in the summer of 1955 Mississippi , in when he went to visit his uncle Mose Wright. His growth in Chicago, in a predominantly black neighborhood made him unaware of how deep racial prejudice was.

He had confidence that he was as good as the whites and that made Bob Bryant and his friends more furious at him. They were not happy that he could confidently challenge them and this resulted in his brutal murder.

What are laws? its for my sociology work.
erik [133]

Laws are essentially certain rules put in place by our government. You must comply with the law or you will face consequences. Some examples of laws are DUI, Murder, Theft, and the many, many Traffic Laws. Everyone knows that you can't drive under influence, you cannot commit murder, you cannot steal, and you must not violate any traffic laws.

I hope this is the answer you're looking for.

1.What is the poem talking about? 2. What is the speaker trying to say? Use evidence from the poem to support your answer (what
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

1. The poem is talking about the tiredness that comes with hardwork in the day that makes people hope that night comes quickly.

2. The speaker was trying to say that he was tired so much so that he wished to literally throw the sun away so he could retire to rest at night.

3. Words from the poem that helped me answer the questions are;

the sun

in my hand

throw

tired

Explanation:

In the poem <em>So Tired Blues,</em> by Langston Hughes, the poet was so tired that he wished that if he could grab the sun with his hands, he will throw it away, across the land, because he was really tired.

The poem is relatable especially when a person has had a very hard day at work. He sometimes wishes that the day could pass quickly so that he can enjoy a good night rest.
