Answer:

The poem itself is a metaphor from start to finish. The caged bird is representative of those who lack freedom.... everyone experiencing restrictions and oppression. The cage represents exactly what we'd believe, a form of imprisonment. The bird's song symbolizes the cries of freedom, and the combination of the two represents the need for every living thing to reach its full potential, something that cannot be done amid barriers and fear.

Answer:

 This poem is an extended metaphor. Although the speaker doesn't mention any races, it is clear that she is showing how the freedoms allotted whites are diametrically opposed to those given to the blacks. In the first stanza, the speaker illustrates how the free bird, or white race, is untroubled. It also shows how the white race has the audacity to own and govern society unjustly. The speaker concludes'' (the free bird) dares to claim the sky". This shows how whites demonstrated discrimination and prejudice toward blacks. Unfortunately, this deplorable conduct was condoned in society.

Minimum Cost for 4 years = $116320

Explanation:

Data is not given in the question. However data related to the question is attached below

(See the table attached)

<h3>Total Costs for Tara's First Year:</h3>

As all the costs of Tuition, Room/board, Books/Lab, Transportation and Other are given in the table attached below, we just have to add all of them to get total costs for Tara's first year

Total Costs = $24500 + $8940 + $1950 + $1390 + $1800

Total Costs = $38580

<h3>Minimum Cost for 4 years:</h3>

We know that

Total Costs per year = $38580

Total Federal Grants per year = $9500

Minimum cost per year = $38580 - $9500 = $29080

Minimum Cost for 4 years = $29080*4

Minimum Cost for 4 years = $116320

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage.

Explanation:

In her “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage”, Carrie Chapman Catt uses the rhetorical device of kairos by constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage. This can be seen in the beginning of her speech when she mentions "Three distinct causes made it inevitable."

As kairos as a literary device means using balance and decorum in the speech/writing, Carrie makes sure that her speech contain step by step explanation for every objective. She then finally comes to the end of her speech by projecting the listeners and stakeholders of their part in the bringing a change.

Carrie uses the opportunity of kairos to direct her speech to the listeners and statesmen by asking them whether to support women's suffrage or not. This can be seen in the last lines of her speech "Woman suffrage is coming -- you know it. Will you, Honorable Senators and Members of the House of Representatives, help or hinder it?"
