As the veneration of defunct ancestors is a fundamental element of most African traditional cultures, it is not surprising that the dead is also a common subject for masks. Masks referring to dead ancestors are most often shaped after a human skull.

Masks were very important during ceremonies because they were used to entertain the people. The masks made dancers look more exciting, and they played a major role in arousing the interest of the audience. The mask wearer can become a sort of medium that allows for a dialogue between the community and the spirits.

The answer is: b. dead members of the community in their graves.

In the excerpt from "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard," the author Thomas Gray makes reference to the dead people from the village who are buried in their graves in the churchyard.

Which best describes one theme of both "A Man Said to the Universe" and "Sympathy"?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

C. An individual's place in the world is determined by his or her environment.

Explanation:

Dunbar describes what is it like being a black male in the 1800s America in his poem Sympathy. He gives a metaphor to the caged bird and how deadly the bird wants to get out after it sees a beautiful landscape.

Stephen Crane's A Man Said to the Universe shows the significance of the existence. And this is the existence of a human-being. This human-being is an individual and the poem is about his conversation with the universe. The man wants a recognition from the universe.

The summaries show that the correct answer is the third one - an individual’s place in the world is determined by his or her environment. Indeed, in both poems individual challenging is present.

Hope this helps!
