Theme for English B
BY LANGSTON HUGHES
The instructor said,

Go home and write
a page tonight.
And let that page come out of you—
Then, it will be true.

I wonder if it’s that simple?
I am twenty-two, colored, born in Winston-Salem.
I went to school there, then Durham, then here
to this college on the hill above Harlem.
I am the only colored student in my class.
The steps from the hill lead down into Harlem,
through a park, then I cross St. Nicholas,
Eighth Avenue, Seventh, and I come to the Y,
the Harlem Branch Y, where I take the elevator
up to my room, sit down, and write this page:

It’s not easy to know what is true for you or me
at twenty-two, my age. But I guess I’m what
I feel and see and hear, Harlem, I hear you.
hear you, hear me—we two—you, me, talk on this page.
(I hear New York, too.) Me—who?

Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.
I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.
I like a pipe for a Christmas present,
or records—Bessie, bop, or Bach.
I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like
the same things other folks like who are other races.
So will my page be colored that I write?
Being me, it will not be white.
But it will be
a part of you, instructor.
You are white—
yet a part of me, as I am a part of you.
That’s American.
Sometimes perhaps you don’t want to be a part of me.
Nor do I often want to be a part of you.
But we are, that’s true!
As I learn from you,
I guess you learn from me—
although you’re older—and white—
and somewhat more free.

Answer 1

Answer:

Theme for English B”, As a Representative of Self: This poem is about the speaker’s attitude, interests, and background. The professor asks the narrator to write a page about himself. The speaker begins his assignment, providing some necessary autobiographical details because he wants true. After talking about his age, academic history and identity, he unveils a crucial reality that he is the only colored student in his class. He believes people belonging to different casts, color and identities share common interests. Also, he writes that his assignment will not fully represent him. Willingly or unwillingly, they both influence each other. In this way, all of his doubts, questions, and hesitations become his page for English B.

Major Themes in “Theme for English B”: Identity, creativity, and racism are major themes of this poem. Right from the beginning, the black speaker struggles to come up to the expectations of his white professor. Although there is a divide between the speaker and his professor, yet he writes about his experiences and likes to present his true character in his assignment. At first, he is a bit nervous as he feels indifferent. However, he realizes that his likes and interests are similar to the people belonging to other races, which makes him confident. The speaker establishes a ground reality that America is a land of diversity and people influence each other regardless of their identities and skin color.

HAIKU
Five dead leaves falling
upward onto the branches
of a bare oak tree

THE END OF WINTER
As I approached, I startled a group of sparrows that had been feeding in the grass, and they flew up to the safety of an old oak tree. It was still early enough in the year that the branches of the tree were bare. But the bird songs and the warm sun made me feel certain that winter was ending. As I watched, the sparrows dropped from their high perches and settled again in the grass to hunt for food. Like winter, I was just an interruption.

What part of the story does the poem focus on?

A.
The fact that it still looks like winter
B.
The ways you can see that spring is coming
C.
What the trees look like before they get their leaves
D.
What the sparrows look like flying up into the oak tree

Answers

D because if you compare the two pieces then you can see the sparrows were startled and flew up to the tree for safety
it's B because in the paragraph it states things that let you know spring is coming

It might not be well known, but there is a desert in North America. It spans along the western side of the continent, from southern Oregon to northern Mexico. It is mostly contained in the arid area between the Rocky Mountains to the east and the fertile coast of the Pacific Ocean to the west. Researchers estimate that the desert is between 500,000 and 730,000 square miles.

Differences of latitude, elevation, climate, topography, vegetation, soil, and human use have divided the desert into a cold region and a hot region. The cold region of the desert is known as the Great Basin Desert. This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states. South of this basin is the Mojave Desert, which is the hot region of the North American Desert. This area covers much of California, southern Nevada, and some of Mexico.

As a desert, the area is arid because of high evaporation, extreme temperatures, high winds, localized storms, and sun-beaten land. Life in the desert is a struggle for humans. People do live in this desert, but the pockets of people are dispersed and isolated. Native Americans and European settlers have added to the population of the region. Despite the harsh conditions, a surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles make the desert their home. In fact, some species can only be found in the desert.

What evidence does the author use to support the idea that there are people who live in the desert?

A. This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states.
B. Native Americans and European settlers have added to the population of the region.
C. A surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles make the desert their home.
D. The area is arid because of high evaporation, extreme temperatures, and high winds.

It would be nice to go back in time to see what life would be like if I had made different decisions. I believe that in the past, you can observe or interact with anyone you want, but you won't be able to affect the modern world. The day you spend there will disappear as soon as you return to the year you were in. The original day you spent there will appear again as soon as you return. Your presence at the alternate time will have no effect.

Also, why would we want to go to the future? You'll get there eventually. It's impossible to go back to the past, so why not take the chance?

respond to the short response question with a minimum of SEVEN COMPLETE DETAILED SENTENCES.
In Ch 9, the Greasers are planning a rumble as revenge on the Socs, which Sir Francis Bacon feels is not worth carrying out. What are motivations and consequences of getting revenge (in general)? What consequences resulted from the rumble? Do you feel like the rumble was worth it? Do you feel like the Greasers got their revenge? Do you think Sir Francis Bacon correct or wrong about his feelings on revenge?

Answers

In the book in chapter 9 Sir Francis Bacon wants revenge on the socs. When you want revenge, it is usually driven by a feeling of defeat or betrayal. But it’s not the best way to solve your problems, since it most of the time becomes a revenge cycle, it becomes a habit, or it could come back to you. In the rumble there is a lot of pain and sadness. The rumble was definitely not worth it, since mostly everyone ended up injured and nothing was gained in the process. No they did not get their revenge, they became devastated even when done, it made things worse for all that matters. He was definitely wrong because he lost everything and gained nothing.

Quote: "Youth is the seed time of good habits, as well in nations as in individuals"

How does Thomas Paine compare a nation’s youth with an individual’s youth?

Answers

For Thomas Paine, both a young nation and a young individual are elements that are building and preparing their own future.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Paine compares youth to a seedbed.This is because the seedbed has elements that will develop in the future and show satisfactory results.For him, both a young person and a young nation are similar and represent a seedbed of the same course.

That's because Paine believes that a young person is preparing his own future, creating strategies that will develop and have satisfactory results. A young nation, on the other hand, is made up of a group of people, of all ages, who care about the nation's future and therefore work to make that future as promising as possible.

D : “More secluded islands or those used as preserves, however, are only accessible by boat.”

Answers

BEST bolsters the definition of "recreational" in point four of "The Barrier Islands near Georgia's Southern Shore." These islanders are connected to the continent by ferries and roadways, which provide visitors rapid access to the island. This was how the costal plains were represented with the help of recreational.

Therefore, option C is the correct option.

identify the error in the following sentence and the best way to fix it.

Answers

Answer:

A. It is a fragment and needs a verb.

Explanation:

A is correct because "All the houses on our block" includes a noun, but not a verb. There is no linking verb that describes what the houses are like. "All the houses on our block are beautiful" is a complete sentence because the word "are" links the ideas "houses" and "beautiful" together.

The sentence all the houses on our block is a fragment and needs a verb. Thus option A is correct.

What is a sentence?

A sentence can be defined as the part where the phrase and the words are. This often contains a subject and a predicate. For a sentence, it needs to be grammatically correct. Also, there should be proper punctuation marks that are needed in a sentence. It can contain a noun or a pronoun. The sentence helps in communicating the thoughts.

There is a noun in "all the houses on our block," and yet no verb. The characteristics of the dwellings are not described by a linking verb. So because term "are" connects the concepts of "residences" and "magnificent" together, the statement.

An incomplete statement is one that lacks either the subjects or the past participle. Some language fragments are the consequence of straightforward typos or word omissions.

Therefore, option A is the correct option.

Explanation:

Process of elimination:

A.In my opinion, the answer could possibly be A. I don't know the full context of this passage, but it could be that A is correct. However, the second paragraph especially gives me the hint that B is more accurate here.  

B. In what I understood, this is correct. This is because it is clear that a battle was won here, as they seemed to have been struggling with getting approved to come to America. I think B is correct.

C.Although this may be true, and it may even be true specifically for the rest of this book, the short passage provided gives no negative connotation to it. It is a positive passage, and so the idea of life being difficult was never brought up. This is incorrect.

D. You have to be careful when looking at problems like this, because it's small words that indicate the correct/incorrect answer. The use of the phrase "promise of a great future" guarantees something that will not be true every time. So, this is incorrect.

Let me know if I was correct!

B. True joy is experienced after difficult battles are won.
