Give the critical analysis of the poem “As I Grew
Older.”

Answers

SUMMARY:

Langston Hughes ‘As I Grew Older’ begins about a dream that the poet had ‘long time ago.’ The poet says his dream, bright as the sun, was right in front of him until a wall rose between him and his dream. The poet is an old man now and he is thinking about his dream which he dreamt long time ago. He thinks he has almost forgotten his dream. He remembers that his dream was not fulfilled as a strong barrier was created by his fellow white people who will not let his dream come true. The wall seems to grow forever and ever and it has become it has become so taller that it ‘rose until it touched the sky.’ The dream which was as bright as the sun has now turned dark. The wall has become a long dark shadow and has been blocking his dream. The dream being replaced by a shadow, the poet has become black.

The poet lies down beside the shadow which means he feels defeated and helpless. He finds that his dream is no longer above him and so he feels vanquished. Instead of his dreams, he finds the ‘thick wall’ and the ‘shadow’ above him. A plausible interpretation can be that the dream of freedom and independence is no longer real for the blacks and it has been overshadowed by the wall created by the fellow white people.

‘Dark hands’ refers to the poet’s own hands, the color of his skin, who will be able to ‘break through the wall’ and ‘find his dream.’

The poet wants to break the wall and shatter the darkness that is keeping him from attending his dream. He wants to break the shadow into thousand lights of sun and thousands of whirling dreams.

ANALYSIS:

THEME: The poem is in negative effects of racism, prejudice and discrimination. It is a comment on any form of racial oppression where one is unable to achieve their dreams, whether it is because of age, gender, nationality or religion. The poem puts up a message that we should believe in ourselves and stand up against the unjust society and rise above any sort of discrimination.

Explain this quote from the Norton Field Guide: "Remember that your stance as an author needs to be clear: simply stringing together the words and ideas of others isn't enough. You need to show readers how your source materials relate to one another and to your thesis"

Answers

Answer:

The quote means that as an author, your purpose must be made very clear. As a result of that, just pirating or copying other people's work into your own is not ideal and sufficient. The author must clarify and convince the readers how the information he got from outside sources relate to each other and are relevant to his thesis. This can also be achieved by proper referencing of the source materials.

Explanation:

The Norton Field Guide is known to help teachers to teach the way they want to teach. There are color-coded links which help the students to get more detail if the need arises. The Norton Field Guide usually have short chapters with the availability of just

enough detail which can be assigned in any order. With the help of menus, directories, and a glossary/index, finding book is made easy.

Write a 200 - 250 words essay on the following:
Many countries believe that sending criminals to prison can reduce crime. Do you agree or disagree?

Answers

Answer:

I will write more than a paragraph for you so you can get a bunch of ideas and since I'm only getting 5 points please keep in mind we can't just write essays for +5 points hehe

EDIT: Keep in mind that I can't use certain words because brainly won't let me post the answer so instead I say *heinous crimes*

My answer is:                            

While in most countries government systems believe that imprisonment will reduce the crime rate. I believe that's not always the case.  Imprisonment will not completely solve the issue in itself and most cases are different. I think depending on the crime that was committed prison time may or may not be necessary. We also have to keep in mind the criminals history. Imprisonment is definitely necessary for criminals that committed ravishment, murder or some heinous crime (that's my opinion).

Though giving regular prison inmates the opportunity for higher education will reduce the amount of criminals there are in society. Statistically most criminals have a lack of education (though there are exceptions) most prisoners either come from families that are low-income or haven't received higher education. I do believe some individuals not willing to get a higher education have a lack of income, lack of support or have problems because of all that. There are also lack of resources in less developed countries. This makes some people steal, commit fraud or even some other heinous crimes in order to either make money or survive.

Explanation  

If I'm being honest living in poverty shouldn't stop someone from attaining a higher education. I think MOST living in less developed countries that don't have those opportunities (lack of educational resources) or unable to pay for college continue to live in poverty because of that. Actually I'm sure most would love to prosper in the right way and attain higher education. Higher education is the key to getting OUT of poverty.

Indirect characterization of Jen finch in any chapter 1-31

Answers

Answer:

Methods of characterization become even more important when the author needs to show a character's growth. Let's take a look at Atticus' son, Jem Finch. Jem grows from a game-playing child to a mature teenager questioning and struggling with the hypocrisies of the adults around him. His actions and words show the evolution of his maturity.

At first, Jem perpetuates the rumors and superstitions surrounding the Radley household:

Jem gave a reasonable description of Boo: Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands were bloodstained - if you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off.

In telling Atticus that Dill has run away from home, Jem shows the ability to weigh the consequences of a secret:

Dill's eyes flickered at Jem, and Jem looked at the floor. Then he rose and broke the remaining code of our childhood. He went out of the room and down the hall. 'Atticus,' his voice was distant, 'can you come here a minute, sir?' [...] Jem was standing in a corner of the room, looking like the traitor he was. 'Dill, I had to tell him,' he said. 'You can't run three hundred miles off without your mother knowin'.

Finally, Jem shows maturity in critically thinking about the underbelly of prejudice:

If there's just one kind of folks, why can't they get along with each other? If they're all alike, why do they go out of their way to despise each other? Scout, I think I'm beginning to understand something. I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time... it's because he wants to stay inside.

Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.

For more than half an hour [the child in the noose] stayed there, struggling between life and death, dying in slow agony under our eyes. And we had to look him full in the face. He was still alive when I passed in front of him. His tongue was still red, his eyes were not yet glazed.

Behind me, I heard the same man asking:

“Where is God now?”

After the Egyptians crushed cut cane and captured the juice, they boiled and strained the liquid, let it settle, then strained it again. The cane juice was now poured into molds with holes in the bottom, so that all the liquid could drain out, leaving only a powder. That powder was then mixed with milk and boiled again. After one round of these steps, the process was repeated all over again. As a result of all this effort and care, Egypt was known for the "whitest and purest" sugar.

Which statement best summarizes this passage?

Explanation:

Napoleon Crossing the Alps is any of five versions of an oil on canvas equestrian portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte painted by the French artist Jacques-Louis.

How does the use of color create contrasting moods in the two paintings?

Napoleon's two paintings depict two different faces of his personality. The painting by David shows Napoleon imposing, victorious on his horse, exuding confidence and prosperity.

This painting shows Napoleon's face that was unbeatable in his victories and had the strength and elegance of a great leader.

Due to the fact that the paintings portray a view of heroism and victory in terms of the atmosphere and feeling that it gives off, one would assume that the outcome of these battles were a positive one, given the light in which they are painted and portrayed within.

B. Cash acts irrationally, but Anse takes his time before reacting,
C. Cash is miserable, but Anse is content.
D. Cash thinks clearly, but Anse's thoughts do not make sense.

Answers

Answer:

D. Cash thinks clearly, but Anse's thoughts do not make sense.

Explanation:

A major difference between the personalities of Cash and Anse, according to the way Faulkner writes about each character is Cash thinks clearly, but Anse's thoughts do not make sense. Thus the correct option is D.

What is the theme of As I Lay Dying?

The central theme of the state of humanity and the fight for meaning and purpose in life is central to "As I Lay Dying." The novel investigates the premise that humans are motivated by a desire to understand things.

Cash's opinions are portrayed as straightforward and rational throughout the text. In contrast, Anse's thoughts are described as confused and illogical.

Faulkner's writing style emphasizes these personality contrasts, with Cash's sections of the work being more analytical and focused on practical matters, while Anse's passages are typically rambling and self-centered.

Therefore, option D is appropriate.

Paying off a consumer loan prior to its maturity Paying Off Installment Loans Some installment loans include terms that charge a penalty if the borrower pays off the loan earlier than its maturity date. The specific terms can vary so its important to know if a loan youre considering provides for a prepayment penalty and if it does, what its exact terms are. A common way to compute a penalty is the sum-of-the-digits method. You and your friend recently took out installment loans. You expect to pay off your loan before its maturity date, so you made sure that the contract: Provides for the use of the Rule of 78s Does not contain a prepayment penalty clause Provides for the use of the sum-of-the-digits method Your friend didnt anticipate being able to pay off the loan before its maturity dateuntil he won a lot of money in the lottery, enough to pay it off. He decided to pay off the loan today rather than invest his winnings. Whats the most likely reason why? The loan contract would use the sum-of-the-digits method to compute interest if your friend paid off the loan before its maturity date. The interest rate on the loan is lower than the rate of return your friend would earn on his investment. The contract does not contain a prepayment penalty clause. True or False: Computing interest using the sum-of-the-digits method allocates more interest at the beginning of a loan than at the end of the loan. True or False
