What is the effect of McKay's use of the pronouns she and her to refer to America?

English

Dimas [21]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

McKay personifies America as a woman who feeds him "bread and bitterness" and who sinks her "tiger's tooth" into his throat. By using the pronouns she and her to refer to America, McKay turns the concept of a country into a person who can cause the narrator harm even while he loves her. The effect of this personification turns the relationship between the narrator and his country into a more personal relationship, full of the conflicting emotions that come along with loving a person

maks197457 [2]

Solution: The 'lovely' boy is still young and beautiful and time has not yet degraded his beauty. So, the young boy seems to be 'holding' time powerfully. But the time is constantly changing, the charm is not going to last forever and will fade away. So option (a) is correct.

Inga [223]

Answer and Explanation:

The interaction between Wes and his mother makes it difficult to say who was right. Although, I do not believe that using violence as punishment and imposing wills on children is the right way to be a mother, I cannot help denying that Wes's mother did him a good by sending him to military school, as he spared Wes the inhospitable environment where he lived and allowed the military school to change his personality for the better, but I think that her position in imposing this change of school should have been better explored. I believe she should have talked to Wes and exposed her opinion about him going to military school and listening to what he has to say about it and the behavior he is assuming.

NEED ANSWER ASAP!!! Compare the written description of the Boston Massacre to the image depicting this historical event. Which d
Mademuasel [1]

Both the painting and the written description depict a scene where both sides of the conflict seem completely confused as to the real reason for what it turned out to be a deadly confrontation.

The written account elaborates somewhat methodically the actions that led, step by step to the escalation of what originally was nothing but an argument between a soldier or sentry and a robe maker. The perennial curiosity of the nearby masses and the somewhat well established intransigence of law enforcement individuals clashed drastically and led to a tragic result that could've been easily avoided if cooler heads had prevailed. The depiction of the man in charge of the soldiers as a man not fit for the job seems to confirm the fact that a more disciplined superior would've been able to restrain his forces until the situation or issue at stake was clarified among the quarreling parties.

Finally, the painting only depicts the firing of the lined up soldiers against a revolting crowd on the other side but provides no clues as to what was the reason that led to the moment being depicted when the bayonets are being fired at short range in a firing squad like manner.
