Elaborate on the central idea of social classes that Countee Cullen depicts in his poem For a Lady I Know. Provide textual evidence for your answer

Answers

Answer:

In this poem, Countee Cullen (1903-1946) uses irony to reveal the ridiculous beliefs that support racism. The notion of a woman, presumably a white woman, firmly believing that, even in Heaven, her class status, based on discriminatory biases that should not be considered godly, will provide her with poor blacks to do everything for her while she sleeps.

Explanation:

There´s also an allusion to biblical notions through the words "heaven," "celestial chores," and "cherubs," signifying the existence of a spiritual afterlife, in which,  this woman seems to absurdly believe racism prevails.

Answer:

In his poem "For a Lady I Know," Countee Cullen depicts the clash between the upper and lower classes of society. The poem is assumed to be about upper-class white Americans who treat African Americans poorly. He points out the audacity of the upper class to presume that African Americans would continue to wait on them forever, even after death:

She even thinks that up in heaven

Her class lies late and snores

While poor black cherubs rise at seven

To do celestial chores.

This poem suggests that white Americans don’t want to help improve the lifestyle of poor African Americans but are comfortable with the minority races serving them forever.

In a speech about AIDS and HIV, one of the speaker's main points describes ways to respond to the devastating news that you or someone in your family is HIV Negative. You know that HIV Negative means that someone isn't infected with the virus that leads to AIDS. How can you provide feedback to let the speaker know that you are confused

Answers

Answer: Speaker can be asked for the occurrence of positive and negative HIV conditions.

Explanation:

Here, the speaker can be asked to define two conditions when a person is HIV positive and another for HIV negative. If the speaker is able to distinguish between the two then it can be concluded that the speaker knows about the technicality of the infection that is positive state is indicative of infection and negative state is indicative of no infection condition from human immunovirus.  Then speaker mistake can be correct by asking this doubt by showing a state of confusion between the two states.

Letter to a Citizen of Kentucky, an excerpt

Executive Mansion, Washington,
April 4, 1864.
A. G. Hodges, Esq., Frankfort, Ky.

My Dear Sir:
You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally stated the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was about as follows:
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel; and yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially in this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it in my view that I might take the oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power.
I understood, too, that in ordinary civil administration this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times and in many ways; and I aver that, to this day I have done no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserving, by every indispensable means, that government, that nation, of which that Constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the Constitution?
By general law, life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life, but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if, to save slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of government, country, and Constitution altogether.
When, early in the war, General Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March and May and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the Border States to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition; and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this I was not entirely confident...

Yours truly,

Use context to determine the meaning of the words in bold. (4 points)

Answers

Hello. You did not have any words in bold in the text presented in the question above. This prevents your question from being answered. However, when searching for your question, I was able to find a question exactly like yours, which showed the following words in bold: organic law, indispensable necessity.

If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.

Answer and Explanation:

Taking into account the context clues, we can see that when the author of the letter uses the words "organic law" he is referring to the basic laws and common principles in a society. Through the context clues we can also understand that when the author of the letter uses the words "indispensable necessity" he is referring to a need that is crucial and very important.

These two examples show how context clues are very important features during a reading, because they enable the reader to understand unfamiliar or difficult words through the context of the sentence or the text itself, allowing the reader to understand the entire text well.

Answer:

The central idea is that there are situations where the truth must be hidden.

The detail that supports the central message is sentence: "C. J. Peter's comments to The Washington Post were designed to create an impression that the situation was under control"

Explanation:

In a text, the topic refers to the subject presented. In the text above, we can see that this topic is the limitation of news released to the media. We can see that this is the topic, because we saw that after a tragedy happened, the media received limited, contained information that did not present the tragedy as it actually happened.

The central idea of a text, on the other hand, refers to the message the author wants to teach the reader. In the text above, we can see that this message is that there are situations where the truth must be hidden. This is because the group hides the truth about the tragedy so as not to generate panic and despair in the population. Therefore, we can conclude that it was necessary to hide the truth for security reasons.

The details that support the central idea are the sentences that show how the message is correct, or how it happened. In this case, we can identify the following sentence as a support detail: "C. J. Peter's comments to The Washington Post were designed to create an impression that the situation was under control"

Jocks vs. nerds, brawn vs. brain, hunks vs. dweebs; America has a conflicted relationship with the smart, studious, or anyone who has not taken the hunter-gatherer macho path. As David Anderegg notes in Nerds: Who They Are and Why We Need More of Them, there’s a divide in our culture between “Men of Action” and “Men of Reflection.” Superman embodies the polar extremes. Clark Kent represents the private, introverted, nerdy side, but it’s the public, muscle-bound he-man from Krypton that our culture celebrates. Our society purportedly encourages high achievement in math and science. But it also crucifies brains for being smart. Yes, we do want our kids to do well in school – just as long as the passions they relish, the knowledge they acquire, and the pursuits they master have relevance to the real world. In other words, being an astrophysicist better make them a bunch of money. Too smart, you’re declared a freak, thus ostracized, and picked last for the kickball team at recess. It’s a mixed message.

This passage emphasizes what about America’s treatment of “smart” people?

A) Being “smart” is important, as long as a person is not too “smart.”

B) They are seen as useful and necessary contributors to society.

C) America treats them like outcasts.

D) Most people would prefer athletic individuals.
