Why are “Life at War” and “Overheard Over S.E. Asia” considered to be protest poems?

English

<u>Answer:</u>

Option D. They shock people by providing a terrifying view of war rather than a heroic one.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Both the poems are written by the same person, Denise Levertov, a British poet. She seems to be too concerned about the ravages of war, the destruction and distress it results in.  

Both the poems are about the tragedy of war that struck Vietnam. She seems to be much perturbed at the scene witnessed in Vietnam.  While the second poem talks about white phosphorus seeking the bones, the first talks about the burning Vietnamese flesh.

Thus, both the poems portray the horrors of war.

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs? Alvarez traces how Trujillo demand
OlgaM077 [116]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by J* Alvarez.

Periodically, Trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. A tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. To my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand.

If you did not march, your cédula would not be stamped, and without a stamped identification card, you could do nothing; in particular, you could not obtain your passport to leave the country under the pretext of wanting to study heart surgery. This was the second escape—this time with his whole family—that my father was planning.

The day came when my mother had to march. The parade went on for hours in the hot sun until my mother was sure she was going to faint. Her feet were swollen and hurting. The back of her white dress was damp with sweat. Finally when she thought she could not go one more step, the grandstand came into sight, a clutter of dress uniforms, a vague figure on the podium.

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs?

Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.  Alvarez describes how her family reacted to Trujillo’s demands and how that affected their lives when they left the Dominican Republic.  Alvarez retells her mother’s humiliating experience of paying tribute to a dictator she did not support.  Alvarez describes how Trujillo’s mandatory taxes and tributes affected her mother in a negative way."

Answer:

Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.

Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that the narrator explains to us how Trujillo assuming the position of a dictator requires that all citizens of the region offer tributes to him, if they want to remain in the country with a life with the minimum of dignity.

This demand greatly affected the life of the narrator's family, especially his mother, who was forced to pay tribute to a dictator she does not support, just to protect her family.

Answer: George committed <u>Direct copying</u> form of pilgrim.

Explanation:

Using someone's words in your document by copying them exactly or partially is called pilgrim.

The main two types of pilgrims are:

  • Direct copying
  • Word switching / paraphrasing

Direct copying:

Copying someone's same words from worksheets, web page, document, a book, an article, or from any other source and claim it to be your own words without mentioning the source from where the content is taken is a form of pilgrim called direct copying.

Word switching / paraphrasing:

Using someone's words partially (taking parts of sentences or words) into your document is called word switching or paraphrasing. Changing the sequence of someone's word and using them into your document without mentioning the original source is called word switching.

what values does president reagan suggest all americans share in his appeals to their sense of patriotism?
Zepler [3.9K]
Freedom, economic prosperity, opportunity and the rule of law were some of the values mentioned by President Reagan in Christmas talk about the family in the US. Presumably he meant these were values shared by many Americans. While these are nice sounding phrases, I believe that many Americans would doubt that they benefitted supposedly from the implementation of these policies and they certainly weren't meant for other countries such as Nicaragua where he backed the contras to fight the Sandinista's who were trying to implement these things for the vast majority of the people who had suffered so much under Somoza.
