The option which best describes what the speaker sees in the "days ahead" is:

A. the fall of America.

This question refers to the poem "America" by Jamaican-American author <u>Claude McKay</u>, more specifically to lines 11 to 14, in which the speaker addresses the fall of America:

<em>"Darkly I gaze into the </em><em>days ahead</em><em>,</em>

<em>And see her might and granite wonders there,</em>

<em>Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,</em>

<em>Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."</em>

  • What the speaker means is that he sees the fall of America in "the days ahead." Throughout the poem, the speaker talks of his bittersweet relationship with America. His feelings are somewhere between love and hate or resentment.
  • Although he can see America's wonders, beauty, and potential, he can also see its flaws - the prejudice, the corruption.
  • <u>In conclusion</u>, the speaker believes America's fate is a bad one. In the future, the country will fall.

How have young people used activism to push for stronger gun laws?
Alborosie

Answer:

Explanation:

No one thinks it will be easy. Gun violence in America is one of those problems that can feel truly hopeless. The U.S. has only 4.4% of the world’s population, yet it accounts for roughly 42% of the world’s guns, according to the comprehensive 2007 Small Arms Survey. And roughly 31% of the world’s mass shooters are American, according to a University of Alabama study. Even as mass-shooting deaths mount, our Second Amendment has made gun rights a third-rail issue: roughly 90% of Americans agree on “common-sense” solutions like universal background checks, yet absolutists stand in the way of any meaningful action.

what could brutus have done to give a more effective speech? write two paragraphs that describe that describe his use of persuas
tino4ka555 [31]
Though Brutus’ speech was logical and concise and he thought that the crowd would rally to his cause, he failed to gain. Brutus was demanded the people to listen hear him.  He tried to win the people over and support through logical explanations.  He listed down the reasons for killing Caesar and was very concise in his speech as he believed the truth will convince the people and rally to his cause.  The problem was the people didn’t connect with his arguments and he was too aloof in his approach that he failed to gain their support and he should make a speech wherein he had a personal connection with the crowd.Anthony on the other hand asked the people to hear him.  His agreement of the senate’s actions was for the subtle purpose of discrediting all that they said.  Listing down the achievements of Caesar, he was all manipulating the crowd by appealing to their emotion.  As he made his speech, he was crying and this moved the crowd enabling him to win them over.  Anthony was the better orator because of his use of emotion and facts.<span>
