Which of the following literary techniques is used in this excerpt from Gwendolyn Brooks's poem, "The Truth"?
"Though we have wept for him,
Though we have prayed
All through the night-years-
What if we wake one shimmering morning to
Hear the fierce hammering
Of his firm knuckles
Hard on the door?
Shall we not shudder?
Shall we not flee
Into the shelter, the dear thick shelter
Of the familiar
Propitious haze?"
allusion
irony
dystopia
hyperbole

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Irony

Explanation:

Irony is a literary device where what was expected to happen differs from what actually happens. This device was used by Gwendolyn Brooks in this poem above because even though it was expected that people had longed for the truth and were expected to embrace it when faced with it, the opposite seemed to be the case for they ran away from the truth. This can be further narrowed down to Situational Irony because what was expected to be the case was actually not what happened.

do you think Dr. sadao is not patriotic enough as he risk his own life to save an american soldier?Give reason​

Answers

Answer:

As a doctor, Sadao knew that the value of human life. He risked his own life by saving the American soldiers, even if he knew that he could go to prison for hiding a prisoner of war. He cleaned the Americans wounds, fed them, and nurse him. When the American was feeling better, he gave him provisions, such as food and a boat, and helped him escape from Japan.As a Japanese citizen, he fulfilled his duty by telling the General about the American. Even though the General forgot to send his assassins, Sadao could not be blamed for the American escape. Thus we can say that Sadao carried out his responsibilities, as a doctor, and as a Japanese citizen.

The first blind man happened to put his hand on the elephant's side. "Well, well!" he said, "now I know all about this beast. He is exactly like a wall."

The second felt only of the elephant's tusk. "My brother," he said, "you are mistaken. He is not at all like a wall. He is round and smooth and sharp. He is more like a spear than anything else."

The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. "Both of you are wrong," he said. "Anybody who knows anything can see that this elephant is like a snake."

The fourth reached out his arms, and grasped one of the elephant's legs. "Oh, how blind you are!" he said. "It is very plain to me that he is round and tall like a tree."

The fifth was a very tall man, and he chanced to take hold of the elephant's ear. "The blindest man ought to know that this beast is not like any of the things that you name," he said. "He is exactly like a huge fan."

The sixth was very blind indeed, and it was some time before he could find the elephant at all. At last he seized the animal's tail. "O foolish fellows!" he cried. "You surely have lost your senses. This elephant is not like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree; neither is he like a fan. But any man with a particle of sense can see that he is exactly like a rope."

Then the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, and quarreled about him. Each believed that he knew just how the animal looked; and each called the others hard names because they did not agree with him. People who have eyes sometimes act as foolishly.

what character or characters in spunk would you consider to be the most wicked

Answers

Answer:

Joe is the most wicked character.

Explanation:

"Spunk" was written by Zora Neale Hurston and tells the story of Spunk, Joe and Lena who form a love triangle, where the two men, Joe and Spunk establish a highly competitive and violent relationship between them, to win Lena's heart.

Joe is a character highly undervalued by the entire community in which he lives. He is unmotivated, constantly compared to Spunk and everyone questions his masculinity and his ability to be successful. This inferiority, along with competition for Lena's love, causes Joe to allow a great deal of hatred and anger to grow inside him. All these negative feelings, repressed and hurting Joe, makes him the most wicked character in all of history, mainly because it stimulates horrible thoughts and dangerous behavior.

Up Broadway Chandler moved with the vespertine dress parade. For this evening he was an exhibit as well as a gazer. For the next sixty-nine evenings he would be dining in cheviot and worsted at dubious table d’hôtes, at whirlwind lunch counters, on sandwiches and beer in his hall-bedroom. He was willing to do that, for he was a true son of the great city of razzle-dazzle, and to him one evening in the limelight made up for many dark ones.

Which word best describes the tone of this passage, and why?

Answers

Answer:

The word that best describes the tone of this passage is "willing" because it presents the tone of determination that Chandler has and that is transmitted to the reader through the reading of the text.

Explanation:

The tone of a text is the feeling conveyed to the reader through reading. In the text above, we can see the tone of determination, as Chandler is determined to sacrifice himself for many days to spend a night in the spotlight and have a lot of fun with it. This tone of determination is highlighted through the word "willing" which reinforces the feeling that the reader should feel.

Answers

The last sentence wound employ the correct punctuation. For the first sentence, we use semi colons initially as a replacement for connectives. Both parts of the sentence make sense on their own so that would make the choice of punctuation incorrect. For the second sentence, it would need a comma after “grade”. And for the third sentence, either the connective “however” or the comma needs removing, you don’t need both.
