What reasons does Jason Reynolds give to show that poetry can change someone's opinion about reading?

English
1 answer:
ehidna [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1. The amount of words in poetry is less compared to prose and other literary pieces.

2. The rhythm produced from one line to another adds a natural flow to poetry.

3. The small chunks of words at a time helps to make the reading less threatening.

4. The white space left on the pages makes the reading breathable and less choking.

Explanation:

Jason Reynolds, an author explains that the reason why many young people are not being helped to overcome their fear of books is that the teachers and instructors still bombard them with voluminous books, thus adding to their fear. He compared it to a person scared of dogs still being confronted with a Pit Bull or other intimidating dogs.

To solve the problem, Reynolds explained that the less volume of words contained in Poetry can help instill a love for reading in the students. They can enjoy the rhythm created as they move from lines and stanzas. The small chunks of words also makes reading less intimidating.

State the following sentences whether they are present, past or future tenses: (3).1 I am a boy / girl.
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

1. Present tense

2. Past tense

3. Future tense

Explanation:

1. The sentence "I am a boy" is in the simple present tense (indefinite).

We often use Simple Present to talk about timeless truths/facts or permanent situations. We don't say, "I'm being a boy" or "I've been a boy".

2. If you are unable to determine the tense of a sentence immediately, you can use context clues too. In this sentence, "gave" is the past tense of "give", we can tell that this sentence is in the past tense because the child's parents gave them money (at some other time).

3. If you still struggle to identify the tense of a sentence, try to place yourself in the given situation. If you "will buy the book of UAE history as well" you are going to buy it, "will" is the indicator here, you have not "bought" the book yet, and you are not currently buying it, so you WILL buy it.

Please let me know if you need any more help or clarification.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

In order to characterize properly, one would have to make use of figurative language such as hyperbole, personification, etc to create a dramatic effect.
