Answer:
C. the justice system skewed against African Americans.
Explanation:
Here's the poem:
That Justice is a blind goddess
Is a thing to which <u>we black are wise</u>:
Her bandage hides two festering sores
That once perhaps were eyes.
Notice how Hughes writes that "we black are wise." This implies that the justice he speaks of (which is referred to as a "her" throuhgout the poem) is "blind" when it comes to the struggles of African Americans.
Choice A is incorrect because the poem clearly implies that the justice system is biased against blacks.
Choice B is incorrect because the poem calls justice "blind," which implies that she is flawed.
Choice D is incorrect because there is no mention of "human rights" or not caring." Justice is described as being "blind" which does not imply either.
Answer:
Extraordinary
Explanation:
The answer is <u>extraordinary</u> because out of all the other words, it it's more positive. Outlandish, strange, and unusual would put a negitive impact on the sentence.
<em>The aye-aye is one of the most </em><u><em>extraordinary</em></u><em> looking creatures on earth.</em>
Answer:
The blacks in America were deemed inferior and only seen as someone lesser, like a young boy among adults. Maybe, this is one reason why Wright uses the word "boy" in his title.
Explanation:
Richard Wright's memoir "Black Boy" presents the author's childhood and also growing up years as a black man in the American South. The book deals with themes of growing up, racism, family, and also a sense of trying to find his identity.
The use of the word "boy" in the title is ironic because Wright may be describing his childhood experiences but at the same time, the memoir covers well beyond his childhood years too. This may also have to do with his feeling of still being a kid despite being an adult.
Also important is how the blacks were perceived by the whites, the "superior" whites. Though same in all senses, blacks were hardly accepted by the whites as their own or equals, and more like inferior and lesser than them. This can also be one reason why Wright uses the word "boy", as a generalization of how his black people were perceived by the whites.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
How to make this sentence concise? Like this.
"Ann Bradstreet will always be a great American writer and person."
One of the best recommendations when writing is to be clear, direct, and concise. Sometimes, less is more. If you as the writer can express a full idea just using the necessary words in simple language, more people will be able to understand your writings.
Ann Bradstreet (1612-1672) is considered to be one of the most important writers in the early years of colonial America. She was a Puritan, a devoted religious woman who wrote about women's issues in those colonial times.
