Helen Dare uses comparisons of Susan with the knight of La Mancha. She characterizes Susan B. Anthony as an unattractive woman with an unpleasant appearance that can be easily mocked. That's because Dare characterizes Susan B. Anthony as "Somehow the tall, gaunt figure, the pale, lean, earnest, intellectual face of Susan B. Anthony is indissolubly linked with a love of my youth - my dear Knight of La Mancha."

However, she claims that she does not characterize Susan in this way to be funny and mock her appearance, much less discredit the struggle that Susan leads. Helen Dare, does not call herself a suffragette, but recognizes the power of Susan's cause and says that Susan's appearance is irrelevant, since she is not fighting for her own wishes, but for the wishes of many people.

In other words, Helen Dare says that Susan's struggle should not be influenced by people's perception of her appearance.

When looking for comparisons, you are looking for metaphors or similes. For example, “The sun is a hot bowl of lava.” That is a metaphor. The sun is being compared to lava. OR The sun is as hot as a bowl of lava. That is a simile.

There can also be direct comparisons such as: Susan’s work of Art mirrors that of da Vinci. So as you read, look

for examples such as these. Then you need to ask how this shows us a specific point of view. Are the comparisons done in a positive light or no?

Read the excerpt from Homecoming.

Answer:

C. third-person point of view

Explanation:

First, let's break down what first-person, second-person, and third-person point of views are.

First-person is when the narrator is addressing themselves. It's like when you write in a journal or diary. It uses words like "I" or "me" to talk about themself and what happened to them. For example: "I saw a cat on the road to today. It waved to me."

Second-person is when the narrator is addressing to you. It uses words like "you" to talk to the reader. Usually this is used in speeches or commercials. For example: "You saw a cat on the road today. It waved to you."

Third-person is when the narrator is not one of the characters but is addressing them. It uses words like "he" or "she" to talk about the characters. For example: "He saw a cat on the road to today. It waved at him."

Now that you know all the different kinds of point-of-views, we can answer the question. You have to look at the pronouns(he,she,they, etc) that the author is using. If you look back to the passage, the author uses "her" and "she."

This is definitely not first-person because first-person uses "I."

This isn't second-person because second-person uses "you."

This is third-person because third person uses "she." The answer is third-person point of view.

What is one of Edgar Allan Poe's lasting legacies?
alexgriva [62]
The correct answer is C. He opened the field of literary criticism.

Apart from being a poet and a writer during the Romantic era of American literature, Edgar Allan Poe was also a critic. As a matter of fact, while he was alive, he wasn't really famous or celebrated as an author, but rather as a critic. Only after his death did people start appreciating his art, but it was too late - he died poor.
