Answer:

The answer is that, the speaker wishes that <u>America could be like it was when Whitman was alive</u>

Explanation:

Ginsberg as someone who promotes diversity chose Walt Whitman as a hero and guide because he is a poet of everything  and loves diversity like himself. ( In the 50’s, America is like Ozzie and Harriet: middle class, white, hard-working, etc. which was all about conforming to a certain standards, while Ginsberg was all about diversity).

<em>He hopes for the creation of America </em><u><em>big enough for individuality rather than the too much conformity</em></u><em> currently obtainable (Like American citizens should not worry about making money, but instead, they should worry about being themselves or people try to have a different sexual oreintation in an era that was uptight about sexuality).</em>

Describe huck finns character and appearance
mr_godi [17]

The protagonist and narrator of the novel. Huck is the thirteen-year-old son of the local drunk of St. Petersburg, Missouri, a town on the Mississippi River. Frequently forced to survive on his own wits and always a bit of an outcast, Huck is thoughtful, intelligent (though formally uneducated), and willing to come to his own conclusions about important matters, even if these conclusions contradict society’s norms. Nevertheless, Huck is still a boy, and is influenced by others, particularly by his imaginative friend, Tom. Sleeping on doorsteps when the weather is fair, in empty hogsheads during storms, and living off of what he receives from others, Huck lives the life of a destitute vagabond.   He wears the clothes of full-grown men which he probably received as charity, and as Twain describes him, "he was fluttering with rags." Aunt Polly describes him as a "poor, motherless thing".

In the book haroun and the sea of stories, what does khattam-shud show haroun on the ship?
den301095 [7]

Answer: Khattam-Shud shows Haroun on the ship that each story in the Ocean requires its own type of poison to properly ruin it, and suggests how one can ruin different types of stories. Iff mutters that to ruin an Ocean of Stories, you add a Khattam-Shud. The Cultmaster continues that each story has an anti-story that cancels the original story out, which he mixes on the ship and pours into the ocean. Haroun, stunned, asks why Khattam-Shud hates stories so much, and says that stories are fun. Khattam Shud replies that the world isn't for fun, it's for controlling. He continues that in each story there is a world he cannot control, which is why he must kill them.

Explanation:

Iff here simplifies Khattam-Shud's explanation, as all that's needed to really end a story is to say it's over. However, Khattam-Shud is working to not just end stories by simply saying they're over, but to make them unappealing to audiences, which will then insure that they won't be told, Silence Laws or not. Think about the ancient stories around the Wellspring; they exist as an example of what happens when stories are deemed boring and not useful.

Why does kenny get bullied in the watsons go to birmingham chapter 2​
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Kenny says he gets teased because there are two things wrong with him: the first issue is that he is extremely smart, so all the teachers love him and treat him differently. (When he was in second grade, a teacher once had him read passages of Langston Hughes's work to Byron's fifth grade class.) The second issue is Kenny's lazy eye. However, Byron taught him a way to avoid having people look at his eye: Kenny just has to look at people sideways when they talk to him.
