Answer:   The correct answer is :  D) The criticism of Wheatley's work was based more on his race than on the content of his work.

Explanation:    Jefferson's criticism of Wheatley inspired other Africans to demonstrate African equality. Gates considers Jefferson the "midwife" of African-American literature because Jefferson's criticisms of Wheatley's work brought forth further African literature to dispute his views.

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy.

I am quite sure that she revealed her belief through her words. During the little dialogue scene where she runs on with what appears to be a conversation between her and Mrs Cobb, her words seem to give off a sense of discomfort. 

I may be wrong here, but hopefully, you can see why I'm leaning towards this possibility! =)

arlik [135]

Answer:

d. He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift was an English writer, critic and poet who had also greatly written about the political issues of his society and time. The essay "A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by him as a form of critiquing the impoverished nature of the Irish people and their economic troubles.

The excerpt from the essay shows Swift suggesting sarcastically that poor families should produce children and then sell them as meat for the rich. He implies that this will not only give an endless supply of food (meat) for the rich to entertain their guests but also provide a steady source of income for the poor people too. This will enable the balance in the economic situation of the Irish people.

An understatement is the presentation of something that is serious in a far less serious manner. This makes the issue seem less serious or less important. Swift uses an understatement when he stated that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs". Sending children to be killed and eaten as meat is a serious and horrifying thing to do, but he compares it to a simple act of "roasting pigs", thus making it an understatement.

Explain how the way Charlie’s character changes makes the plot go in a circle. Think about where Charlie starts and where he end
HACTEHA [7]

If the character starts and ends in the same place, the plot has gone in a circle.  For example, if Charlie was having problems with his teacher at the beginning of the story, and the story talks about the many weeks he has tried to fix these problems, yet the story ends with him still not resolving these problems, the plot had gone in a circle.  There is not resolution, no ending, no fix.
