THE UNSPOKEN HISTORY BEHIND A SURNAME

English
1 answer:

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

"The Unspoken History Behind a Surname" is an article written by Lolly Bowean. The author through this article shares her experience when people inquire about the origin of her surname.

The author writes that when people probe her about her origin, at times it is painful to discuss it. As it will mean to go back to the times of enslavement and the legacy of Americans. The author says that when, once a lady asked her about her origin and she explained to her how Boweans came from through the marrriage of 'Norwoods' and 'Wakefields', the lady almost whispered that 'they were whites.'

<u>The author then recalls how difficult it becomes, at times, to discuss about her origin as the baggage of race comes upon her. She says that though she is not ashamed of her enslaved ancestors, but people rarely wants to discuss about the history</u>.

So, the correct answer is option D.

The key term in London’s essay is “drift.” How does London develop this term and its meaning?
Ulleksa [173]

According to London, the quintessential force that has driven man to survive and wander, or drift, is food. He states that man has drifted since prehistoric times in search of food:

The history of civilisation is a history of wandering, sword in hand, in search of food… It has always been so, from the time of the first pre-human anthropoid crossing a mountain-divide in quest of better berry-bushes beyond, down to the latest Slovak, arriving on our shores to-day, to go to work in the coal-mines of Pennsylvania. These migratory movements of peoples have been called drifts, and the word is apposite. Unplanned, blind, automatic, spurred on by the pain of hunger, man has literally drifted his way around the planet.”

He states that it is hunger, not romance or adventure, that fuels man’s need to drift.
