Todd Gitlin is an university professor. He wrote an essay called “The Liberal Arts in an Age of Info-Glut“ where he explain in details the television watching habits of most Americans.  

Mr.Gitlin claimed that an average U.S. citzen watches TV for four hours a day, every single day. He said that people mostly watch entertainment shows, fiction, game shows, commercials, mass media facts and trailers which, in his opinion, do not contribute at all when it comes to education, information and developing morals.

He wanted the reader to think about it and understand his point of view. According to Mr.Gitlin, people who spend too much time on TV lack on reliable information and sources and do not have the necessary tools in order to become a clever and educated citzen, aware of the world’s issues and able to discuss complicated matters. He also claimed that because of it, studying liberal arts in times of mass media has become even more relevant now than ever.

Answer:

Backstory.

Explanation:

The references to stones in the story "The Lottery" creates the backstory of the whole story. The ritual of the lottery wherein a member of a particular household is stoned to death is like an annual sport stemming from Mr. Joe Summer's free time. Even though the villagers no longer remember the relevance of the rituals associated with the 'lottery', they still remember to use stones for the killings. And it was with stones that they used to hurl at Tessie Hutchinson, the unlucky victim of the lottery draw which her own husband had marked the slip the previous night.

Which statement best describes how the structure of these excerpts helps to develop the themes? The refrains of "An Irish Airman
marishachu [46]
In my opinion, the correct answer is D: <span>Both the parallel structure in the excerpt of "An Irish Airman Foresees His Own Death" and the repetition in the excerpt from "Do not go gentle into that good night" emphasize the inevitability of death.

The main point of both poems is that death is inevitable. However, in Yates' poem, the airman willingly faces death, because of an inner impulse that he finds hard to describe. In this excerpt, he tells us that he is more or less indifferent toward those who are below, on Earth. He is interested in death itself, as a dark phenomenon that haunts him. On the other hand, in Thomas' poem, the inevitability of death is human tragic destiny. We should cling to life as best we can precisely because death is inevitable. These two poems have the same topic, but opposite directions of thought: Yates' speaker goes to meet death, embracing it, whereas Thomas' speaker encourages his dying father to try and postpone death, if possible.</span>
