Lady_Fox [76]3 years ago
5 0

A main theme of the poem is how although a lot has changed since the civil war, civil rights have not improved, as shown in the second answer option.

We can come up with this answer because:

  • The Speaker shows how there is no memorial to the first black regiment in the American Civil War, but there is a memorial to Shaw, a white man who led that regiment.
  • Shaw was an abolitionist and his stance on behalf of the black population, in addition to his attitude of leading a black regiment, was important in strengthening civil rights ideals in America.
  • For this reason, it was important to preserve the memory made for Shaw, as it represented abolitionism and the struggle for civil rights.
  • However, urbanization damaged Shaw's memorial, showing that the ideals he and the black soldiers fought for were useless as society would ignore.

When thinking about it, the speaker realizes that society has not evolved about civil rights and still maintains the black population with limited access to these rights and this is not only addressed by the devaluation of Shaw's monument, but also by the images of segregated schools and children living within that system.

What type of plot structure allows authors to “come late” to their own story?
bezimeni [28]
<span>The plot structure that allows authors to 'come late' to their own story is in medias res. It is a Latin term which basically means 'into the middle of things.' Sometimes authors don't want to bother giving their characters a backstory, but rather begin the novel in the middle. An example would be Gaiman's 'American Gods,' because we don't see each of the gods' history in the beginning.</span>

“Violence on television does not lead to violent behavior” is an example of a ___________. a. question of value b. purpose state
kodGreya [7K]

C. thesis statement

A thesis statement will overtly state the main point/argument of a paper.  This is done by manner of creating an assertion that is usually based on your opinion and that is basically a one-sentence summary of your entire paper.  For instance, “Violence on television dos not lead to violent behavior” is an opinionated statement that suggests the paper will contain arguments in support of how violent behavior is not caused by violence on television.  Note that while it is okay for the thesis statement to be answering a question, it should never be a question since, after all, it is a thesis statement, not thesis question.
