Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

A. Use rhythm and rhyme in very structured, highly predictable way.

B. Use elements of popular culture to consider serious topics or themes.

C. Rely on traditional forms and their conversations to guide your expressions of ideas

D. Focus on the elements of narrative that readers expect to see in all contemporary work.

Answers

Answer:

B. Use elements of popular culture to consider serious topics or themes.

Explanation:

Postmodernism has to do with the Western philosophy that is known for its skepticism, rejection of enlightenment rationality, and focusing on ideology to maintain economic or political power.

It is also referred to as a period in history that is a successor to modernity. This period started sometime in the 20th century.

If I am writing my own piece of literature, the strategy that I would employ to make my work seem more postmodern would be using elements of popular culture to consider serious topics or themes.

The novel concerns an intelligence agent and a blood feud in the Dry Towns in the north of a world called Wolf. Note that the text of the Ace Double printing differs in the last chapter from the text of the 1979 Ace stand-alone printing.

The following is a student draft. It may contain errors.

Trash Management
(1) Every day, people discard something or the other in garbage cans. (2) According to recent data, Americans throw trash that can fill 63,000 trucks every day. (3) How will humans be able to manage so much trash at this rate? (4) And, do people ever spare even a second from 86400 seconds of a day to think where all this garbage goes?
(5) Managing trash is assuming serious threats today, and the turnover of the garbage is estimated to increase three times by the end of the century.
(6) Trash is managed in different ways. (7) Some of it is buried, some of it is thrown into dumping grounds, while some of it is burned. (8) But all these methods create other issues. (9) Burying and dumping trash can only be done up to an extent after which the garbage starts piling and starts spreading diseases. (10) While burning trash may get rid of it instantly, the smoke that it creates, in turn, pollutes the air.
(11) It is a good idea to use and reuse things to reduce waste so that we do not face issues with trash management in the future. (12) For example, cookie jars and tins could be reused to store pulses, lentils, flour, or spices. (13) Most importantly, each one should develop the habit of donating books, clothes, and toys to those in need and not throw them in the trash.
(14) Everyone's primary aim should be to reduce waste, which in turn will lift the pressure of managing it.

Read the following excerpt from the ending of Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun:
WALTER (A beat. The tension hangs; then WALTER steps back from it) Yeah. Well — what I mean is that we come from people who had a lot of pride. I mean — we are very proud people. And that's my sister over there and she's going to be a doctor — and we are very proud —

LINDNER Well — I am sure that is very nice, but —

WALTER What I am telling you is that we called you over here to tell you that we are very proud and that this — (Signaling to TRAVIS) Travis, come here. (TRAVIS crosses and WALTER draws him before him facing the man) This is my son, and he makes the sixth generation our family in this country. And we have all thought about your offer —

LINDNER Well, good . . . good —

WALTER And we have decided to move into our house because my father — my father — he earned it for us brick by brick. (MAMA has her eyes closed and is rocking back and forth as though she were in church, with her head nodding the Amen yes) We don't want to make no trouble for nobody or fight no causes, and we will try to be good neighbors. And that's all we got to say about that. (He looks the man absolutely in the eyes) We don't want your money. (He turns and walks away)

LINDNER (Looking around at all of them) I take it then — that you have decided to occupy . . .

BENEATHA That's what the man said.

How does this excerpt contribute to the theme of A Raisin in the Sun? What aesthetic impact did the author intend it to have on the reader? Be sure to cite evidence from the reading to support your claim.

Answers

Answer: The theme of pride is a clear manifest in the ending part of Lorraine's excerpt.

We canidentify that the play is depicting characters who have little to identifywith.

We see that neighborhood representative shows up and offers to buy outtheirhouse.

The play depicts this decision as pride overmoney, and although money doeswin out for a little bit, the Walter family maintains itspride in the end.

We see how Walter blatant about this pride that he claims that the housewasearned through their late father's sweat.

The author intends to bring out the blatant idea of pride in the Younger familythrough thecharacter of Walter in the excerpt.

He portrays Walter as aggressively boastful to fit thisfamily trait.

Is this good

Answer:Among the two characters, Walter and Linder, the conversation conveys Pride and Discrimination.

The line "And that's my sister over there and she's going to be a doctor - and we are very proud" tells that the entire family of Walters are a very proud family. That is overlooking the fact that Walter Lee states that, “...we come from people who had a lot of pride. I mean — we are very proud people”. Also, Walter has quite a bit of self-importance, you can see from the way he interrupts Lindner on multiple occasions as he tries to convince the man that they will not be taking his offer.

The general plot of A Raisin in the Sun centers around the Younger family selfishly trying to live out their own individual dreams- with Mama wanting to purchase a nice house for her family. Lindner clearly does not wish for the family to move into the house, and he is trying to convince them to sell it back. At one point he tries to “appeal” to Mama, implying that she is “older and wiser” and should understand why they cannot move into their new home which is canonically located in a predominantly White area. He is not happy about their decision, leaving them with an ominous, “I sure hope you people know what you're getting into”.

What are some advantages of James Hurst deciding to have Brother as the narrator? (answer in 3-5 well-developed sentences) *

Answers

Answer:

With Hurst making Brother as the narrative voice, we are able to reach deep into the feelings and emotions of the brother. It also reveals a sense of brotherly love, the want, and the need to make his sickly brother be a part of the 'normal' life of his peers and at times, even the selfish interests of the brother.

Explanation:

James Hurst's story "The Scarlet Ibis" revolves around the story of two brothers, one physically sick and the older brother trying to make sure his brother is capable of living the life of a typical child. Only identified as "Brother", the narrator is the older brother of the sickly William "Doodle" Armstrong, the story's main protagonist.

Brother's voice gives us an insight into the brotherly bond between the two siblings. He also gave us an in-depth look into what he really feels about his sibling's sickness, and what he wants for him in life. He pushes and tried to train him to make him stronger. At times, he even admitted it was for his own sake that he wants others to see his brother is like every child. He admits "It was bad enough having an invalid brother" and even wanted to smother him with a pillow. But a smile brought the human in him and he then decided to "train" and help him get better, be like every other kid.

Had the narrator been not the Brother, then all the inner feelings and emotions, the hatred and then the want to help, the pity and at times the selfishness will never be really revealed or known by the readers. So, through the voice of Brother, we understood and also know a great deal about the two brothers and the story's overall plot.  

If students have given sufficient time and attention to their work, they should have increased considerably their command of English change to passive voice

Answers

The above sentence changes to a passive voice, thus:

"Their command of English should have increased considerably if sufficient time and attention were given by students to their work."

The passive voice always follows this pattern: Object + Verb + By Phrase.

When the emphasis is not on the doer but the object of the action, the passive voice is used.

In the above sentence, the passive voice emphasized "their command of English" and "sufficient time and attention," which are objects of the sentence.

Students, who are the doers of the actions, were relegated to the background because the emphasis is not on the doers but the objects of the action.

Thus, the passive voice is always used when the object must be emphasized.

What is a sentence?

A sentence is a verbal expression in linguistics and grammar, as in the English example "The swift brown fox jumps over the slow dog." It is often described in conventional grammar as a group of words that conveys a full notion or as a unit made up of a subject and predicate.

A sentence fragment is a set of words that appears to be a complete sentence but isn't. Typically, sentence fragments lack a subject or verb or do not fully articulate a notion. A clear illustration of a sentence fragment is given below owing to the rain.

One or more subordinate (dependent) clauses are added to the main (independent) clause using conjunctions and/or relative pronouns to create a complicated sentence. Simple sentences make up a clause.

Therefore, Thus, option (C) is correct.
