Before Postmodernism, what kind of authors mostly made up the literary
canon in the United States?
A. American Indians
B. Academics
C. Poets
D. White men

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: white men

Explanation:

Answer 2

Before Postmodernism, the literary canon in the United States was mostly made up of: White men. The correct option is D.  

What is the literary canon?

Before Postmodernism, the literary canon in the United States was predominantly composed of works by white male authors. While there were certainly important contributions from American Indian writers, academics, and poets, these voices were often marginalized in favor of the dominant cultural narrative represented by white men.

The literary canon serves as a crucial benchmark for assessing the calibre and long-term worth of any particular work. Even authors and books who aren't explicitly regarded as canonical have their literary merit assessed in relation to the larger canon.

These authors dominated the literary scene, and their works were considered the standard in American literature. The literary canon has since expanded to include more diverse voices.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

describe the effect of blank verse in the poem how would the poem be different if frost had used a rhyming form?

Answers

Answer:

^^^^^^^^The use of blank verse makes the poem sound like everyday speech. Blank verse’s regular meter gives the poem a sense of structure and stability. If the poem had a rhyme scheme, it would not sound like people were talking normally. If the poem had a rhyme scheme, the rhyme might be distracting to the reader. Rhyme schemes can sound artificial.

hello um, what is this ( see picture )? I thought the purpose and message were like the same thing. also, this is the speech:


Your Majesties, Your Highnesses, Distinguished Guests, Comrades and Friends:

Today, all of us do, by our presence here, and by our celebrations in other parts of our country and the world, confer glory and hope to newborn liberty. Out of the experience of an extraordinary human disaster that lasted too long, must be born a society of which all humanity will be proud. Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity's belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all. All this we owe both to ourselves and to the peoples of the world who are so well represented here today. To my compatriots, I have no hesitation in saying that each one of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld. Each time one of us touches the soil of this land, we feel a sense of personal renewal. The national mood changes as the seasons change. We are moved by a sense of joy and exhilaration when the grass turns green and the flowers bloom. That spiritual and physical oneness we all share with this common homeland explains the depth of the pain we all carried in our hearts as we saw our country tear itself apart in a terrible conflict, and as we saw it spurned, outlawed and isolated by the peoples of the world, precisely because it has become the universal base of the pernicious ideology and practice of racism and racial oppression. We, the people of South Africa, feel fulfilled that humanity has taken us back into its bosom, that we, who were outlaws not so long ago, have today been given the rare privilege to be host to the nations of the world on our own soil. The time for the healing of the wounds has come. The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come. The time to build is upon us. We have, at last, achieved our political emancipation. We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people from the continuing bondage of poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination. We succeeded to take our last steps to freedom in conditions of relative peace. We commit ourselves to the construction of a complete, just and lasting peace. We have triumphed in the effort to implant hope in the breasts of the millions of our people. We enter into a covenant that we shall build the society in which all South Africans, both black and white, will be able to walk tall, without any fear in their hearts, assured of their inalienable right to human dignity - a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world. We dedicate this day to all the heroes and heroines in this country and the rest of the world who sacrificed in many ways and surrendered their lives so that we could be free. Their dreams have become reality. Freedom is their reward. We understand it, still, that there is no easy road to freedom. We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success. We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world. Let there be justice for all. Let there be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves. Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world. Let freedom reign. The sun shall never set on so glorious a human achievement.

God bless Africa!

Thank you.

What word best describes the tone of this excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe?
I looked upon the scene before me-upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain-upon the bleak walls-upon
the vacant eye-like windows-upon a few rank sedges-and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees-with an utter depression of soul
which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon oplum--the bitter lapse into
everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the vell. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart-an unredeemed dreariness of
thought which no goading of the Imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it-I paused to think-what was it that so
unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher? It was a mystery all Insoluble; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that
crowded upon me as I pondered. I was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are
combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still, the analysis of this power lies among
considerations beyond our depth. It was possible, I reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene, of the
details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilate its capacity for sorrowful Impression; and, acting upon this
idea, I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down-but
with a shudder even more thrilling than before-upon the remodelled and Inverted Images of the gray sedge, and the ghastly tree-stems,
and the vacant and eye-like windows.

A comma splice, meaning the use of a comma between two independent clauses is a common error, and the one mistake in the options provided. Two independent sentences should be separated by a period or a semicolon. The second independent clause could also begin with a coordinating conjunction, such as "and," as long as a comma is placed before the coordinating conjunction, like in option D.

Around is an adverb of place, meaning that it indicates where something happens. In this example, the adverb also acts as a preposition followed by the noun "the country."
