Answer:

the right answer is the letter B.

Explanation:

Rich in symbolism, "The Divine Comedy" is perfectly adapted to Christianity and can be read by all those who want to read it. Some are content only with the casing of which the work is encased, others anticipate further, each according to their possibilities of drinking in the inexhaustible source of symbolism.

An example of the use of symbolism in this work is in the excerpt above where Dante shows a river of boiling blood full of people guilty of carnage, this boiling blood symbolizes the blood that these guilty people have taken from innocent victims of their violence.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Chapters 1-3): The combination of place, historical time, and social situation that provides

ANEK [815]

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn : The combination of place, historical time, and social situation that provides the general background from the characters and plot of a literary work is the story’s setting. Setting frequently plays a crucial role in determining the atmosphere of a work. Explain the significance of the woods to Huck’s life is given below

Explanation:

1.Chapter 1 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn opens after Huck has moved back in with the Widow Douglas. Huck tells us how, when he returned to the Widow's house, she cried and hugged him but immediately began to try to civilize him again. She also teaches him about religion. ... Huck is bored and fidgety.

2.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn takes place before the Civil War in the American South. As an “adventure,” Huck's story is a defined by movement. ... After meeting up on Jackson's Island (which really exists!), Huck and Jim set off along the Mississippi River and pass through Illinois, Kentucky, and Arkansas.

3.The primary theme of the novel is the conflict between civilization and "natural life." Huck represents natural life through his freedom of spirit, uncivilized ways, and desire to escape from civilization. He was raised without any rules or discipline and has a strong resistance to anything that might "sivilize" him.

4.In American high schools and colleges, Huck Finn is taught as an important, if controversial, book about race. For some, it is an inspiring story about how blacks and whites work together to find freedom. For others, its use of racial slurs and stereotypes make it unteachable, if not unreadable.

5.The main conflict of Huck Finn is his struggle with his conscience. He has been raised with a certain set of values, and he struggles with those values when he goes against them. For example, when he helps Jim escape to freedom, he has been raised to believe that it's wrong to help a slave escape.

6.The Message in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The main characters in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn provide an insight on the apparent foolishness of society. Each character has a distinct personality that draws out some flaw in society, specifically hypocrisy and gullibility.

7.This reasoning between right and wrong is an example of morality, a theme we see again and again in Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The book, sometimes referred to simply as Huck Finn, is the tale of a young teenaged boy, Huck, and his companion, a black slave named Jim, on their quest for freedom.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

In his essay "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," poet Langston Hughes interprets the statement of a young African-American poet that, "I want to be a poet—not a Negro poet," to mean, "I want to write like a white poet"; this suggests he was really expressing a subconscious desire to be white. Hughes goes on to argue that this apparent aspiration to bourgeois gentility, as embodied by the dominant Caucasian society, and the psychological cost that adherence to its constraints on creative freedom implies, is terribly damaging to the quality of the creative work and to the spiritual integrity of any African American artist who would embrace it. And it only adds insult to injury that not only does white society pressure African American artists to conform to its standards, but his own people often share the same attitude: "Oh, be respectable, write about nice people, show how good we are, . . . "
