Answer:

This phrase by Conley shows that white people do not bother about the implications of the privileges they get as 'whites' in the memoir "Honkey" by Dalton Conley.

Explanation:

Dalton Conley in this memoir describes how race and class shaped his life and how their are inequalities in American society. He shows the privileges of being white and the power of education.

This story depicts how culture plays an important role when it comes to class and race. He grew up as a white boy of Bohemian parents in an African American neighborhood. Dalton surrounded by non whites made him realize the true meaning of being 'white' through his experiences.

marishachu [46]
In my opinion, the correct answer is D: <span>Both the parallel structure in the excerpt of "An Irish Airman Foresees His Own Death" and the repetition in the excerpt from "Do not go gentle into that good night" emphasize the inevitability of death.

The main point of both poems is that death is inevitable. However, in Yates' poem, the airman willingly faces death, because of an inner impulse that he finds hard to describe. In this excerpt, he tells us that he is more or less indifferent toward those who are below, on Earth. He is interested in death itself, as a dark phenomenon that haunts him. On the other hand, in Thomas' poem, the inevitability of death is human tragic destiny. We should cling to life as best we can precisely because death is inevitable. These two poems have the same topic, but opposite directions of thought: Yates' speaker goes to meet death, embracing it, whereas Thomas' speaker encourages his dying father to try and postpone death, if possible.</span>

Ipatiy [6.2K]
I would sell ice-scream in the Arctic by focusing more about the taste of the ice-scream, instead of the temperature of the ice-scream. And persuading them into wanting to taste what I’m talking about.
