A. a style of jazz developed in Harlem.
One of the things that helps in determining that “boogie-woogie”
refers to a style of jazz developed in Harlem is the third word of the first
line—“daddy.” What daddy is referring to
is the term “daddy-o,” which was a term for a male commonly used in the jazz
era in the Harlem area among others, but its origin is certainly attributed to the jazz
culture.
Answer:
She felt proud and also felt closer to her own heritage and home.
Explanation:
<em>Montreal 1962</em> is a short story by Shauna Singh Baldwin, recollecting her first experience of being a Sardar's wife in a foreign land. She recounts how her husband was asked to remove his hair and turban to be employed.
The short story delves into how she, as a Sardar's wife, felt about her husband's predicament on being asked to be 'normal' like the Canadians and get rid of his natural identity- the turban and his hair and be clean-shaven. While her husband was out working, she took upon herself to wash and then work on even trying to tie a turban, like her husband and others must have done before her. And in the process, she began to understand the significance and even the cultural significance of the turban. She felt that it is what makes them “them”, declaring that she will not let their tradition and culture be taken away from them.
She came to the realization of the turban's significance in their lives and decides to stand by him no matter what happens. She will work for her hands and help him to tie his turban, and then she <em>"will have taught Canadians what it takes to wear a turban".
