Bradbury is trying to show how this society is constantly bombarded with media. In this case, it's advertisements pounding them into a passive state. No one on the train is talking or interacting. They are just sitting listening to the advertisement like they are being brainwashed into buying denham's dentifrice. In contrast to this Montag is trying to read a passage from the Bible about letting go of material things (including Denham's dentifrice). This juxtaposition between the natural world and materialism further shows how society is so wrapped up in media that they are unaware of the world around them.
The people's relationship with the colonists were dissent, thinking that they were dirty fools living in their own garbage. they thought they deserved to be persecuted and could not be tolerated
These are the correct options, in my opinion. A. <span>The ending is inspiring in contrast to the beginning. The beginning is calm and toned down. The speaker is sorry to hear the young Negro underrate his own racial identity, but there is no solution yet. On the other hand, the conclusion is exulted, lively, and defiant. It offers an inspiring solution, calling upon Negro artists to finally climb that mountain and get free of their inherent prejudices about themselves. D. </span><span>The ending revisits a quote that was used in the beginning. This quote is from the young Negro poet: </span><span>"I want to be a poet--not a Negro poet," and it represents the wish of the middle-class Negroes to blend into American standardized society, denying their own identity.</span>
Answer: He likes to follow his own path
Explanation:
The crab in the excerpt decided not to play with the other animals but instead went off alone by itself to the sea. This is after the Eldest Magician had recommended that they do so.
The crab therefore prefers to follow its own path because even though the other animals had heeded the voice of the Magician and done what he had asked, the crab decided to do its own thing by going off to play alone.
This question is incomplete because the passage of Sotomayor is missing; here is the passage to answer to question:
Read the excerpt from "A Latina Judge's Voice" by Hon. Sonia Sotomayor. I also hope that by raising the question today of what difference having more Latinos and Latinas on the bench will make will start your own evaluation. For people of color and women lawyers, what does and should being an ethnic minority mean in your lawyering? For men lawyers, what areas in your experiences and attitudes do you need to work on to make you capable of reaching those great moments of enlightenment which other men in different circumstances have been able to reach? For all of us, how do [we] change the facts that in every task force study of gender and race bias in the courts, women and people of color, lawyers and judges alike, report in significantly higher percentages than white men that their gender and race has shaped their careers, from hiring, retention to promotion, and that a statistically significant number of women and minority lawyers and judges, both alike, have experienced bias in the courtroom?
The correct answer to this question is D. Sotomayor wants the audience to pose serious questions of their own about diversity on the bench.
Explanation:
In the passage, the Honorable Sonia Sotomayor focuses on questioning the lack of diversity on the bench or in courts. Moreover, in this passage Sotomayor indirectly proposes more diversity from Latinos and other minorities is needed as this would lead to a representation of different groups in society.
Besides this, the technique used by the author is to pose three complex questions such as "what does and should being an ethnic minority mean in your lawyering?" that are intended to explain the purpose of the author by making the audience create own questions about diversity and conclude the need of diversity in the bench. This is also expressed in "I also hope that by raising the question today... will start your own evaluation". Thus, the purpose of the question is to make the audience create own questions about diversity.
