Answer:
a. Figurative language
.
Explanation:
Figurative language is the use of words or phrases in a certain way to make the words or description more profound and colorful. Different devices help an author in putting more color to the words used in a story.
In the given lines from "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the narrator Nick describes his cousin Daisy and her friend Jordan in such a way that they appear more 'beautiful', more 'graceful'. He stated that <em>"their [white] dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house"</em> which is not seemingly possible. In describing the ladies' dresses as "rippling and fluttering", Nick uses figurative language.
Thus, the correct answer is option a.
Answer:
Yes, the person described by Cullen in his poem will be similar to the kind of reader Hurston writes about.
Explanation:
In the essay by Zora Neale Hurston, she argues that many White publishers failed to write about the Black minorities, thus masking useful insight and knowledge of these people from the world.
In Cullen's poem, he writes about a certain White woman who believes that there would be class distinction even in heaven. While the whites sleep and snore, the slaves wake up to do the chores. This woman has a lopsided view of minorities. Similarly, the readers who would not even believe in the existence of minorities hold a lopsided view of them.
Answer:
When I think of social justice, I think of the brave individuals that crossed the bridge in Selma to further their rights as American citizens. They were ridiculed, spit upon, and sneered at by many of their fellow citizens who did not want to share their privileges with them. They were beaten and sometimes killed by the police that were paid to protect the citizens of this nation. Were these individuals not citizens too? Had they not been asking for the right to vote and to go to good schools for years, only to be denied this constitutionally guaranteed right? Were they not asking for “social justice?” At what point would it be acceptable for them to cross a bridge to cry out for justice?
