The setting of a story can be considered as a literary element, it is used to describe the location, where the story takes place, but also, the time and duration  of the story. It usually entails imagery by the author to make the reader imagine and understand. In this excerpt, the author uses imagery like the phrase in option A: "The cement being overtaken by flowers and grass implies that the sidewalks are no longer maintained", to give a sense of the setting, so this would be the correct answer since it makes the reader imagine just how lonely and abandoned the town is.

Option B is incorrect because it doesn't transmit the sense of abandonment that the author is trying to convey.

Option C is incorrect because the author is not trying to convey cautiousness, rather he is trying to transmit loneliness.

Option D is incorrect because in the excerpt, it is never mentioned that the man's house is the only one lit.

How does rip van winkle’s story best parallel to the story of america’s independence
Amanda [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The short story "Rip Van Winkle" by Washington Irving is an allegory. That means its characters and events have a deeper meaning. In this particular case, the story concerns the independence of America.

<u>Rip's wife is a representation of England in the story. She is constantly nagging her husband, always demanding more from him. She sees Rip as lazy and worthless. This is to show how England viewed America in a bad light, how the British perceived Americans as lazy drunkards who did not know better.</u>

<u>Rip, of course, is the representation of America. He is loved by the other villagers, and kids follow him around, hoping he will tell them a story. Women see in him a helpful and strong man who is willing to do chores that their own husbands won't do. It is true, however, that he does not enjoy working on his own farm. He'd rather go hunting, fishing, or simply stay idle all day at the village with other lazy men at the inn's door.</u>

When exploring the Catskills with his dog, Winkle ends up falling asleep. His slumber lasts for 20 years. <u>When he finally wakes up, he finds not only a free country but a free self - his wife has died. Rip's independence is as confusing as America's independence. Rip does not know what to do, how to act, what to pursue. Just like for the newly independent America, things seem good but overwhelming. In the end, Winkle goes back to being his old, idle self.</u>

People protest about the cruelty of keeping animals in captivity, but they seem happy enough to eat meat, keep pets and visit zo
saw5 [17]

The way human beings get involved with animals can be seen in a contradictory and cruel way. On the one hand, we love our dogs, cats, ramister and other pets, however, we eat meat and other products from animal exploitation. Are we correct? No we are not.

All animals deserve respect and freedom. These factors are not promoted in animal exploitation for the meat, milk, egg industry, among others. Unfortunately, these products are very stabilized in our culture, and many of us are unable to abandon them. In that case, it is important that we assume our hypocresia and look for ways to change that if possible.

Another contradiction in relation to our behavior with animals is in relation to people who are against the domestic breeding of wild animals, but keep cats, dogs, birds and other pets. These people are not wrong to be against the captivity of wild animals, as it is impossible for all the needs of these animals to be met in another environment than nature. In addition, domesticated animals are able to supply all their needs in a domestic environment.

Therefore, we can affirm that the situation of animals in our society is already well elucidated, and it is up to people to become aware so that they can live better and better, in places that leave them with a good quality of life and security.

Based on the dreams that the speaker describes, it is reasonable to infer that the speaker is hopeful all people will experience
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

A. is hopeful all people will experience the same freedoms he enjoys.

Explanation:

Below is the excerpt from "I Dream a World" by Langston Hughes.

A world I dream where black or white,

Whatever race you be,

Will share the bounties of the earth

And every man is free,

Where wretchedness will hang its head

And joy, like a pearl,

Attends the needs of all mankind—

Of such I dream, my world!

The speaker in this poem actually infers that he is hopeful all people will experience the same freedoms he enjoys.

This can be seen from the concluding part of the excerpt where he said,

"Of such I dream, my world!"

This means it's actually something he is enjoying which he wants people to join - in his world.

"I Dream A World" is a poem written by Langston Hughes, an American writer of Harlem Renaissance. He made the African-Americans to have an experience of the subject of his writings.
