PLEASE HELP!!!!!! ENGLISH!!!! describe how the poem uses imagery about freedom, the lack of it, or the desire for it. The poem would be "A black Mans Talks of Reaping"

Answers

Answer 1

Hmm, well it looks like the most prevalent theme is how American slaves from the 19th century couldn't "reap what they've harvested".

For imagery, this section caught my eye:

"I planted deep, within my heart the fear

that wind or fowl would take the grain away."

"Wind or fowl" are problems that cannot be controlled/suppressed, so if you farm crops you instill that fear and hope for the best. You could say that this represents a lack of freedom; the author mentions "planting" a fear, which can be interpreted as deeply internalizing a devotion to something that might cause you pain.

Later on, the poem says:

"I scattered seed enough to plant the land

in rows from Canada to Mexico"

This shows the extent of that devotion; the speaker has done so much to protect themselves, to ensure their survival.

Then there's this part:

"but for my reaping only what the hand

can hold at once is all that I can show."

The contrast in imagery in the first and second half of that stanza are huge; the speaker has grown so much grain to sustain himself, but is only able to reap what he can hold in his hand.

This represents a lack of freedom; working so hard only for wealthy slave owners to reap what others have grown for them.

I hope this makes at least some sense lol.

Consider the imagery used to describe "she" or "her." How do these images contribute to the overall meaning of the poem? Poem: America by Claude McKay

Answers

Answer:

It adds to the idea of "freedom" and how America fought and flourished, just like women did.

Explanation:

America has always been referred to as "her" or "she." I've never given much thought to it, but I think there might be a reason.

Women used to have very limited rights. Women had to fight for things like voting rights, and the rights to work jobs that previously only men could.

By referring to America as a "she," Claude McKay refers to how women fought to gain their rights, how they flourished.

America fought to gain independence, and they flourished by being a country that accepted all races.

Just like women, America fought and flourished.

This is just my thinking.

I have never learned anything about this in the past, so I'm just going off of some facts I learned in grade school.

The correct answer is Ran out of

Explanation:

To determine the correct option to complete the sentence, the best is to analyze the context of the sentence and then determine which one is the most appropriate option. In this sentence, the speaker suggests he and other people were driving near the sea "We were driving along the sea-side", also, the speaker describes unexpectedly something important happened with the petrol. In this context, it can be inferred was completely finished. This meaning better matches the words "ran out of" that are used when some material or resource expires or is completely depleted.

Answer:

Explanation:

Sample response Edge 2021

The best explanation of how the ending of the passage creates tension and might lead to a conflict is:

The events of the story leads to conclusion that Mowgli would confront the wolves.

Based on the complete text, we can see that there is the narration about the relationship between Mowgli and the wolves in the pack and how they initially rejected him from the pack.

With this in mind, we can see that there is the use of foreshadowing to show that he would have conflict with the other wolves as he brings fire which the wolves are scared of.
