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

English
1 answer:
lions [1.4K]2 years ago
7 0

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."

Which event in the reading helps to categorize Odysseus as an archetype?
tino4ka555 [31]

The correct answer is C. He leads a group of men in grand and dangerous adventures.

An archetype is a character that appears in literatures all over the world - every nation has a character that might fit into this description. It is a common character that is known to everyone - a hero who takes his people on grand adventures.

Odysseus is one of such characters, but so is Beowulf, and even Harry Potter, in modern literature.

One afternoon, an old man ordered in a nearby restaurant for breakfast.
He went inside, find a seat and sit comfortably. 

Then one smiling waiter approached him and asked: "What's your order for this morning, sir?" The old man replied, "Can I have one rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast, please?" 
The waiter with his two brown eyes glow with awe, answered, "One rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast? (with an emphasis on the word "rubbery and burnt") Was that correct sir?" "Yes, you just said it right", the man replied.
 
"Why on earth would you want such a dish?" asked the waiter.  
 "My wife was out of town and I missed her cooking." replied the old man. 
"Oh! I see". the waiter answered with a smirk and walk back scratching his head.
