Langston Hughes’s poem "Madam and the Rent Man" reflects people’s frustration with

“Madam and the Rent Man”
The rent man knocked.
He said, Howdy-do?
I said, What
Can I do for you?
He said, You know
Your rent is due.

I said, Listen,
Before I’d pay
I’d go to Hades
And rot away!

The sink is broke,
The water don’t run,
And you ain’t done a thing
You promised to’ve done.

Back window’s cracked,
Kitchen floor squeaks,
There’s rats in the cellar,
And the attic leaks.

He said, Madam,
It’s not up to me.
I’m just the agent,
Don’t you see?

I said, Naturally,
You pass the buck.
If it’s money you want
You’re out of luck.

He said, Madam,
I ain’t pleased!
I said, Neither am I.
So we agrees!

A. the high cost of rent.
B. living in a city and not the country.
C. being treated unfairly.
D. not being able to make repairs.

What is the opposition's strongest point, explain the point and refute (answer) the point.

There are a lot of people who believe extreme parenting pushes kids to rebel. They say that when a parent forces her child to go over and beyond normal expectations, he tends to push back and go the opposite direction. Tanith Carey supports this opinion: ". . . children can become rebellious and alienated when one-size-fits-all education philosophies are applied, regardless of their personality or aptitudes." However, if a parent starts at a young age and instills in the child what is expected, without wavering, he will not know a difference. It is imperative that the parent does not constantly change her mind and give up when the child complains because that is where the issues begin. If a child thinks that he can just throw a tantrum when he is unhappy and gets away with it, he will continue that pattern into adulthood and it will seriously hinder his success.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The strongest point of the opposition is established when the narrator states that if the countries impose their own wills early on their children, the children will think that this is their own will and will not rebel against their parents. This argument, although it presents a relevant point, is established in a manipulative way and does not provide anything positive for the lives of children, as it reinforces the existence of authoritarianism in parenting, in addition to preventing the child from exploring his own personal wills and preferences.

The Lighthouse Keeper

In the pale morning light, Gillian waved as Father pushed their small boat off

"Don't let the light go out," Father called with a smile.

Gillian had lived with her family on this tiny island her whole life. Father was

the lighthouse keeper. His job was to keep the lighthouse lantern lit. The

lighthouse showed fishing boats and ships at sea that there were dangerous

rocks here. It warned them to keep away from the shore.

Explanation:

The events ordered above stipulate a logical order in which the script should take place. In that order, Gillian's father, who is a lighthouse keeper, asks Gillian to look after the lighthouse while he goes to get supplies. Gillian quickly accepts the mission, knowing that it is very important that the lighthouse stays on, to guide several travelers, including his father on the way back to the lighthouse. However, the strong wind causes a branch to break one of the windows preventing the light from the lighthouse from being properly dissipated. When that happens Gillian fixes the window quickly, allowing the light to dissipate and guide his father on the way home.

What word best describes the tone of this excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe?


I looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eye-like windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher? It was a mystery all insoluble; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as I pondered. I was forced to fall back u

Answers

Answer:

Discovery.

Explanation:

Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a horror story about how a family's house falls, literally and figuratively. The unnamed narrator takes us through what happened, dealing with themes of supernatural elements, incest, and evil.

Based on the given excerpt, the unnamed narrator is giving us a 'tour' of what the House of Usher looks like. In giving us the scene, "the bleak walls [. . .] vacant eye-like windows" presents us the visual of how the scene looks. This gives the tone of discovery, the discovery of what the house seems/ looks like. He also went on describing what he feels on looking at the view in front of him. He also stated that "It was a mystery all insoluble; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as I pondered". All these observations constitute the feeling of discovering what is ahead, in front of him.  

Read the excerpt from an adaptation of "To Build a Fire.” After a time a stinging sensation returned, and the man stripped the mitten from his right hand, fetched forth the birch-bark, and brought out his bunch of sulphur matches. But his hand had already gone numb again, and in his effort to separate one match from the others, the whole bunch fell in the snow. How does the setting affect the plot in this excerpt? The unfamiliar land makes it challenging for the man to find his way. The blanket of snow makes it impossible for the man to stay dry. The extreme cold makes simple survival steps difficult to perform. The tree cover makes it difficult to determine the time of day.

Answer:

B) was also a cause for mourning

Explanation:

edge eng quiz 2021

Baldwin places his father's funeral in the historical context of the Harlem race riots to show that racial prejudice in early 20th-century America was also a cause for mourning. Therefore, option B is correct.

What is the theme in Native Son?

One of the most important themes in Native Son is fear. First, Bigger is constantly in a state of fear, which he does not confront and which drives him to be angry and violent. Second, the white community's fear of black people drives their attempts to control black people, often through fear.

Notes is the book that cemented Baldwin's reputation as a social critic, and it remains one of his most admired works.

Baldwin situates his father's funeral within the historical context of the Harlem race riots to demonstrate that racial prejudice was also a cause for mourning in early twentieth-century America.

Thus, option B is correct.
