3 0

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.

Read this excerpt from an Emily Dickinson poem.
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The answer is: They portray pride and self-worth as unimportant.

Explanation: In the excerpt from the poem “I’m Nobody! Who are you?,” the author Emily Dickinson  makes reference to the Somebodies: people who show a high opinion of themselves. She claims they keep talking about who they are and saying the same things to people who also keep saying the same things to everybody. Thus, she compares them to frogs that only croak and croak in the swamp.
