In one sense, we were huddled in there, bonded togethher in seeking security and warmth and comfort from each other, and we didn't know it. All of us—who might have probed space, or cured cancer, or built industries—were, instead, black victims of the white man's American social system. What did Malcolm mean when he said this?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

By this quote, Malcolm X suggests that whether they realize and accept it or not, the black people of Harlem are and will always be victims of a politically influenced white American society.

Explanation:

In his "The Autobiography of Malcolm X", Malcolm X in conversation with Alex Haley delves into his life, childhood, and becoming a human rights activist, especially for the black African-Americans facing racism. The book gives an insight into the life of the famous world of Malcolm X.

The given passage is from Chapter VI of the book titled "Detroit Red". This passage reveals the sad reality of the people of Harlem. Malcolm admits "we were huddled in there, bonded together in seeking security and warmth and comfort from each other" while it also became unintentionally that they were "black victims of the white man's American social system." The political reality is that even though they may feel like they owned the streets of Harlem, their act of coming into the 'safety and homely' nightclub make sit evident that they are still victims of oppression under the whites.

So, by this very statement, Malcolm seems to suggest and verify that they are victims of racism, and that it is not because of what they did but more of how the American political system makes it seem so.

E) Frankenstein purposely creates a monster that physically represents the creatures in Dante's Inferno.

Answers

Answer:

A) Both narrators describe gazing upon a hideous being.

B) Frankenstein believes his monster to be even more gruesome looking than the creatures Dante faced in hell.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, as it is missing the excerpts that the question refers to. These are the excerpts:

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (excerpt):

"Oh! No mortal could support the horror of that countenance. A mummy again endued with animation could not be so hideous as that wretch. I had gazed on him while unfinished; he was ugly then, but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it became a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived."

The Divine Comedy: Inferno by Dante Alighieri (excerpt):

"From the first circle I descended thus down to the second, which, a lesser space embracing, so much more of grief contains provoking bitter moans. There, Minos stands grinning with ghastly feature: he, of all who enter, strict examining the crimes, when they arrive before the ruinous sweep, there shrieks are heard, there lamentations, moans, and blasphemies 'gainst the good power in heaven."

These are the two answers that are correct. In the first excerpt, we see that Frankenstein has created a hideous monster. He tells us that this monster is so terrible to look at, that he is even worse than the creatures Dante mentions in his book. In the second excerpt, we see an example of such a creature. We learn that Dante meets a creature call Minos. He tells us that he "stands grinning with ghastly feature." This shows that the creature is a horrible one.

Also because it is a rude way to talk to someone. When you are talking in a comedic tone again no one will take you seriously because it all seems like a big joke to you.

Read this excerpt from “Poor Harold.”

A room in Washington Square South. By the light of a candle, a young man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table. A clock within strikes seven.

A door at the back opens, and a young woman looks in, sleepily. She frowns. The young man looks up guiltily.

SHE. What are you doing?

HE. (innocently) Writing.

SHE. So I see. (She comes in, and sits down. It may be remarked that a woman's morning appearance, in dishabille, is a severe test of both looks and character; she passes that test triumphantly. She looks at the young man, and asks) – Poetry?

HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .

SHE. (continues to look inquiry).

HE. (finally) A letter. . . .

SHE. (inflexibly) – To whom?

HE. (defiantly) To my wife!

SHE. Oh! That's all right. I thought perhaps you were writing to your father.

HE. (bitterly) My father! Why should I write to my father? Isn't it enough that I have broken his heart and brought disgrace upon him in his old age –

SHE. Disgrace? Nonsense! Anybody might be named as a co-respondent in a divorce case.

HE. Not in Evanston, Illinois. Not when you are the local feature of a notorious Chicago scandal. Not when your letters to the lady are published in the newspapers. – Oh, those letters!

SHE. Were they such incriminating letters, Harold?

HAROLD. Incriminating? How can you ask that, Isabel? They were perfectly innocent letters, such as any gentleman poet might write to any lady poetess. How was I to know that a rather plain-featured woman I sat next to at a Poetry Dinner in Chicago was conducting a dozen love-affairs? How was I to know that my expressions of literary regard would look like love-letters to her long-suffering husband? That's the irony of it: I'm perfectly blameless.

What proof does the Traveller have to back up his story?

Answers

Answer: they bring something that they got in there journey like a rock

Explanation:here a short story that have more info-

The Time Traveller flies into the future with a greater velocity than before. Although he is travelling thousands of years per second, he begins to notice day and night again. The sun grows larger and redder. Finally, it seems that the earth has stopped rotating, and is circling the dying sun as the moon used to circle the earth.

When he brings the machine to a stop, he finds himself on a sloping beach. Vegetation covers every surface facing the unmoving sun; the air is very thin. Behind him he sees a huge white butterfly in the distance, and slowly a red rock begins to move toward him. It turns out to be a giant crab. While he is staring at it, he feels something brush his neck. It is the antenna of a second giant crab, right next to him. He hurriedly skips a month into the future to escape, but finds the beach covered with more crabs. He goes on, stopping every hundred years or so, watching the "old earth ebb away." Finally, thirty million years into the future, he comes to a stop. The air is bitter cold, and the only sign of life is lichen on the beach. Small flakes of snow float in the air. A large disc begins to eclipse the sun; the Time Traveller suspects that some inner planet, perhaps Mercury, which is now much closer to Earth, is passing in front of the sun. An incredible darkness and blackness follows. On the verge of fainting, he climbs back on the machine, and as he does he notices a black blob with tentacles flop over in the distance. It is the only evidence of animal life.

What is a knit sweater?

Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulated to create a textile, or fabric. It is used to create many types of garments. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine.

Knitting creates stitches: loops of yarn in a row, either flat or in the round (tubular). There are usually many active stitches on the knitting needle at one time.

Knitted fabric consists of a number of consecutive rows of connected loops that intermesh with the next and previous rows. As each row is formed, each newly created loop is pulled through one or more loops from the prior row and placed on the gaining needle so that the loops from the prior row can be pulled off the other needle without unraveling.

Therefore, The knit sweater had a variegated pattern of colors and textures is mixed.

How can "The Transplant" in refugees by vetthanh Nguyen be read as a satire on America's obsession with labels, status, and financial wealth? And what consequences does the story seem to suggest these obsessions have on both the individual and American society as a whole?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

"The Refugees" can be read as a satire on America's obsession with labels, status and financial wealth. That's because "The Refugees" tells the story of several families of immigrants who see America as the ideal place to escape their problems related to their home country. This is due to the stereotype created by the Americans themselves that America is the land of prosperity, ignoring the difficulties that a person can go through to prosper.

This stereotype can cause disappointment in foreigners, or even the loss of cultural identity, making them not feel a sense of belonging to something, since they cannot belong to a specific culture. Society can also be affected, as it ends up being composed of individuals who are dissatisfied, but are unable to change.
