How does McKay develop the theme of "America"? What is his conclusion of the sonnet?

English

lions [1.4K]2 years ago

McKay develops the theme of "America" by showing how the narrator's relationship with his country is personal rather than abstract. McKay creates tension by showing how even though America feeds, or nourishes the narrator, it is with "bread of bitterness." The narrator admits that even though America steals his "breath of life," he still loves it. This contradiction is inherent to the theme: that what harms the narrator about his relationship with America is also what makes him stronger. Yet the narrator's conclusion is that the seemingly mighty future of America is in danger of disappearing "like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."

maks197457 [2]

“They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks / and all in line dipped oars in the gray sea” (Homer 6-7).

In-text MLA citations should include the author's last name and page number when available. The citation must be after the quotation, but outside of the quoted text. The citation should be in parenthesis and not include a comma between the author's last name and page number. The comma is extraneous. In order to make it clear that the parenthetical citation belongs to the quoted text and not the sentence following, there needs to be a comma after the citation - not before.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

A). The narrator is frightened because she is Muslim making a Catholic confession.

Explanation:

The tone is described as the approach or attitude of the author towards a particular subject matter reflected through the choice of words or language employed. It serves to provide the audience with a perspective or viewpoint to consider or look at a particular text and enhances their curiosity to read and evoke the desired feeling or response that the author intends to invoke.

As per the question, the sentence that best reveals how the tone discloses the author's attitude/perspective is displayed through option A as the description 'frightened...Muslim making a Catholic confession' reflects the author's perspective towards portraying the strict religious beliefs and terror associated with it(being declared as a heretic). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Proofread the following text and correct the three subject-verb disagreements. If online dating has become too tedious for you,
Genrish500 [490]

A subject-verb disagreement is when we use the plural-form verb for a single-form noun or a single-form verb is used for a plural noun, for example "she read" or "they reads". In the text the three subject-verb disagreements are: 1. "app that ask people" it should be: "app that asks people" because app is a singular noun. 2. "There are a difference", the correct form would be: "There is a difference" because difference is a singular noun. 3. "What the public actually desire" it should be: What the public actually desires" because public is a singular noun.
