In “The Rockpile” by James Baldwin, how does the setting influence the way Gabriel and Elizabeth raise their children?

Answers

Answer 1
Mark Brainliest please

Answer

Their fear of danger causes them to impose strict rules on their children.

Explanation:
James Baldwin's short story "The Rockpile" tells the story of how a young family's approaches t their parenting techniques led to the fateful incident of one of their son's injury. The parents Gabriel and Elizabeth's approach of strictly dominating their children's lives had led to the ensuing incident.
The setting of the story is in a house from where the boys can see the 'rockpile' which they are prohibited from ever visiting. From the start of the story, we find the mother telling the boys to "stay away from (the rockpile)". This strict approach resulting from their fear of them coming "home bleeding like a hog every day the Lord sends" causes them to impose strict restrictions on their involvement and interactions with friends.

The soldiers were awestruck when they saw the village of the Bishnois, yet they were ready to destruct that peaceful and healthy environment. In what way would they not only damage the environment, but the faith and trust of people as well?

Answers

Answer:

They would be damaging the environment by cutting down the trees. Trees play a vital role in the environment as they clean the air of carbon dioxide and help stop erosion as well as provide food and habitats to various organisms. Were they to be cut down, they would stop being these things to the environment.

As for the people, the solider betrayed their trust because as soldiers, they are meant to protect the people of the country that they are from. If a country's soldiers begins to attack the livelihood and property of the country's citizens as well as killing its own people, they have violated the oath they took to protect those same people.

Read the passage from A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf.

That refuge she would have sought certainly. It was the relic of the sense of chastity that dictated anonymity to women even so late as the nineteenth century. Currer Bell, George Eliot, George Sand, all the victims of inner strife as their writings prove, sought ineffectively to veil themselves by using the name of a man. Thus they did homage to the convention, which if not implanted by the other sex was liberally encouraged by them (the chief glory of a woman is not to be talked of, said Pericles, himself a much-talked-of man), that publicity in women is detestable.

What literary elements do the authors use to support and develop the central idea of women's autonomy?

Woolf uses emotionally charged language to emphasize her viewpoint, while Ibsen uses language that is factual and direct.
Ibsen uses dialogue to build conflict between characters, while Woolf alludes to historical figures to make her point.
Both passages follow a cause-effect structure to show that a lack of privacy is the result of society’s pressure on women to conform.
Both passages follow a problem-solution structure in which the problem is revealed in a central conflict or theme.

Look for an example of a simile or metaphor within chapters 7-9 of The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. Write the example in the space below, indicating the chapter it is from and what is being compared. What does this simile or metaphor do in the text? In other words, how does it help the reader?

A reader who has not been told that James Weldon Johnson’s The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is a novel can be forgiven for not knowing how to classify it. When it was first published, anonymously, in 1912, the book included a preface from the publisher, written almost exactly as Johnson proposed, that described it as a “new picture of conditions brought about by the race question in the United States” (p. xxxiii). The preface suggests that what follows is a sociological study. But in the novel’s first paragraph, the unnamed narrator tells us that he is “divulging the great secret” of his life, moved by “the same impulse which forces the un-found-out criminal to take somebody into his confidence” (p. 1). This beginning prepares us for a confessional narrative such as those by St. Augustine or Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Exemplifying the capacity of novels to absorb other genres, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is a sociological study in terms of its analysis of the dynamics of race, class, and geography, and a confessional narrative, albeit a fictional one. But it is as a novel that Johnson’s book engages us most urgently, in that the story of its narrator’s life is ultimately a plea for the reader’s understanding.

1. Impatient

2. Optimistic

3. Stubborn

4. Peaceful

Answers

Hi. You did not submit the specific excerpt from "Incident at Valley Forge" which makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, if we consider the entire text, we can see that Marta Washington, in general, acts in a very optimistic way.

That's because "Incident at Valley Forge" seeks to present what happened in Valley Forge during the American Revolution, while George Washington led the fighting force against England's army. In this text, Marta Washington is very optimistic, certain that everything will go well for the continental army. She believes that they will achieve victory and that everyone will return safely to their homes.
