Answer:
The Theme is confusing because julian does not know how to act when he see's his mom and another woman with the same hat.
Explanation:
Both Julian and his mother rely heavily on appearances to separate and elevate themselves from the rest of society. Julian’s mother, for example, hopes that her public demeanor and clothing will hide the fact that she no longer has any of her family’s former wealth. In turn, she judges others on their appearance, including blacks, whom she automatically considers inferior. She looks down on the African American man on the bus who wears a suit, even though he is better dressed than Julian, and still places herself above the large black woman on board, even though she realizes that they wear the same hideous hat. Ironically, Julian relies on appearances to quickly judge others around him too, even though he criticizes his mother for this same shortcoming.
Hope this helps!
Verbal irony used in contempt
Answer:
When I was little, my mama always taught me to be polite. She said it was one of the laws of the universe. That people were sensitive, and defensive and that little girls like me need to grow up knowing how to deal with these people, because they surround us. Some people will be rude, she said; they'll laugh in your face and complain and yell. But you always have to keep an smile on your face, because if you don't, you'll be one of those people. My mama also told me that if you are kind, the universe will reward you. She's always been into the idea of karma, and I always liked the idea of it too. It's a fair system. If you're rude and mean, you don't get very far in life, and if you do you're miserable because you're alone. If you are nice and kind, people will like you, and even when things are tough, you'll always have somebody there for you. And I think that's the best rule someone can have in there life; "Always be kind"
When it is a linking verb, it contains a adjective right after the main verb (is/feel/were/was) and must express the person.
Example: I feel sad.
"Feel" is the main verb in this sentence and it is expressing ones emotion. So if that is the verb, then "sad" is the adjective. Because of this example, you can see that
"Were" in the sentence is the main verb and after those are the adjectives ( tired and dirty). Therefore, you just found a linking verb.
Then answer would be (A)
