Answer:
Three images were used in "The Black Hermit" to help bring out the theme for the story which centered on Nationalism and Tribalism. They are:
1) Jane, a comfort woman, depicted as an object of contentment, as Remi - the protagonist, found "contentment in the Jane, his new lover ..." in the city (emphasis on "the" is mine). Mark the use of the article "the" in reference to Jane. Thus, Jane was totally objectified, showing that she was not regarded as a person, but an object from which Remi derived sexual satisfaction in the city where he exiled himself from his tribe. The Jane is, therefore, an image of a woman, who provides sexual satisfaction. The Jane could have been any woman, provided she played her role to Remi.
2) Another image was the use of "Youth" as "a cloth that can wear away." It is true that youth is a passing age. It does not last forever. But, does youth wear away? Yes, actually it does. Like cloth, too much indulgence in youthful exuberances and "washing" of youthful age can lead it to "wear and tear." This warns our youth to be mindful of how they use their time. The beautiful, well-bottomed and breast-pointed lady soon becomes like a sexually unattractive and aged woman with shivering legs and sagging breasts.
3) The change of regime following independence from the colonial British empire was depicted as the tribally re-arranged marriage to Remi's late brother's wife, Thorni - a kind of change of baton. Similarly, as independence was demanded by Kenyan nationalists, this particular tribal re-marriage was required by tribalists. Remi would be handed leadership of the nation and a wife he did not love, thus depicting the inherent conflict between Nationalism and Tribalism. Where does one's loyalty lie? The tribal wife represents national leadership of the newly independent nation. Is leadership forced on people without their total consent and aspiration?
Explanation:
"The Black Hermit" was a play written by Ngugi wa Thiong’o, and first published in 1968. The Makerere College Students Dramatic Society at the Ugandan National Theatre first played out the play on November 1962.
The Black Hermit chronicled the conflicts faced by African nationalists who won independence from their colonial masters. African governments since independence have failed to solve the problems that confronted them. These included tribalism, land clashes, and inequalities.
All over Nigeria, for instance, after 60 years of independence, the country has not found its bearing. Every year there have been tribal wars and clashes. Those entrusted with political leadership are yet to grasp the enormity of their responsibilities. They actively play one citizen against the other, one tribe against the other, one religion against the other, and one political association against the other. Tribal racism is still rampant in social, economic, and political spheres. While they demonstrate against racism in the U.S., back home, they do everything to engender, promote, and sustain tribal, political, economic and religious racism, unmindful of the negative impact on their nations.
The play is divided into three parts: Act One, Act Two, and Act Three with three scenes each. The first and third acts occur in the countryside while the second one happened in the town.
The main character was Remi and the minor ones included Thoni, Nyobi, Omange, Pastor, Jane, and the elders.

"Nikki Giovanni's real name is Yolande Cornelia. Most poets do not change their name. Why might she have done so? How does using the nom de plume of Nikki Giovanni add to her poetry?"
Answer:
Explanation:
Her real name - Yolande Cornelia
Her pen name - Nikki Giovanni
(A) Why might Yolande have changed her name to a non de plume?
She might have adopted the nom de plume "Nikki Giovanni" because in her childhood, "Nikki" was her sister's pet name for her. Also, Giovanni was one of her father's names.
(B) How the non de plume adds to her poetry:
- It protects her from political prejudice
- It conceals her identity, to a good extent. She was a powerful writer and she wrote on sensitive topics so the use of a pen name helped continue her poetry, without obstructions from those would want to trace her from the name.
- It serves as a business name for her. A business is an entity on its own. It can sue and be sued. It stands separate from the person or owner

AS GREGOR SAMSA awoke one morning out of restless dreams, he found himself in bed, transformed into a gargantuan pest. He lay on his hard, armored back and saw, as he raised his head a little, his domed, brown belly, divided into arched segments; he could hardly keep the bed sheets from sliding from his stomach's height completely to the floor. His numerous legs, lamentably thin in comparison to his new girth, flickered helplessly before his eyes.
“What has happened to me?” he thought. It was no dream. His room, a proper room for a human being (albeit a little too small), lay still between the four familiar walls. Above the table, upon which a collection of sample cloth goods was spread out in stacks—Samsa was a traveling salesman—hung the picture which he had cut out of an illustrated magazine a little while ago and set in a pretty gilt frame. It depicted a woman who, with a fur hat and a fur boa, sat erect, lifting up in the direction of the viewer a solid fur muff into which her entire forearm had disappeared.

What theme is common to the two excerpts below? . . .
His theory of running until he reached camp and the boys had one flaw in it: he lacked the endurance. Several times he stumbled, and finally he tottered, crumpled up, and fell. When he tried to rise, he failed. He must sit and rest, he decided, and next time he would merely walk and keep on going. As he sat and regained his breath, he noted that he was feeling quite warm and comfortable. He was not shivering, and it even seemed that a warm glow had come to his chest and trunk. And yet, when he touched his nose or cheeks, there was no sensation. Running would not thaw them out. Nor would it thaw out his hands and feet. Then the thought came to him that the frozen portions of his body must be extending. He tried to keep this thought down, to forget it, to think of something else; he was aware of the panicky feeling that it caused, and he was afraid of the panic. But the thought asserted itself, and persisted, until it produced a vision of his body totally frozen. (Jack London, To Build a Fire)
Presently the boat also passed to the left of the correspondent with the captain clinging with one hand to the keel. He would have appeared like a man raising himself to look over a board fence, if it were not for the extraordinary gymnastics of the boat. The correspondent marvelled that the captain could still hold to it. They passed on, nearer to shore—the oiler, the cook, the captain—and following them went the water-jar, bouncing gayly over the seas. The correspondent remained in the grip of this strange new enemy—a current. The shore, with its white slope of sand and its green bluff, topped with little silent cottages, was spread like a picture before him. It was very near to him then, but he was impressed as one who in a gallery looks at a scene from Brittany or Algiers. He thought: "I am going to drown? Can it be possible? Can it be possible? Can it be possible?" Perhaps an individual must consider his own death to be the final phenomenon of nature." (Stephen Crane, The Open Boat)

Below are in-text citations for an encyclopedia article. Select the one that is completely correct.
("Herbivore" p. 14)
(Herbivore 14)
("Herbivore," 14)
("Herbivore" 14)
Answer:
("Herbivore" p. 14).
Explanation:
In any academic paper, the pattern and correct citation of sources is a must for academicians. It is this simple yet complicated method that enables the readers to know whether the paper is worth reading and whether it has solid proof of sources or is just a 'hypothetical' paper without much sources to validate it.
Among the options given for an in-text citation for an encyclopedia, the correct way of putting the in-text citation is to put the name/ title of the book followed by the year of publication and then the page number. And considering our given options, the year is not provided so that will be omitted. In that case, the correct answer will be "the title" and then the page number. Thus, "Herbivore" p. 14 is the correct answer.
Answer:
D. ("Herbivore" 14).
Explanation:
Hi, the person above is incorrect regarding MLA format. In a parenthetical citation for MLA format, there is no "p" for page number. It is simply the page number and/or author's surname. If there is no author, it is an abbreviation of the work's title in quotation marks, just like above.
Hope this helps.
PS. There are no commas in a parenthetical citation either for MLA format.

Answer:

their spreading leaf canopies start poking from sidewalk
grates. With no one to yank their seedlings, within five

Which statement best explains how irony is used in the passage ?
The correct answer is D. Weed tree that wreaks havoc on the environment is referred to favorably as the "tree-of-heaven."
Explanation:
Irony occurs when the outcome in a situation is not the one expected or words have an opposite meaning to the literal meaning. In the excerpt, there is irony because the three known as the "tree-of-heaven" in China is an invasive and harmful species. This can be seen in "implacable invaders capable of rooting in tiny chinks in subway tunnels" and in "heaving up sidewalks and wreaking havoc in sewers" that shows the power the tree has to invade spaces and destroy structures despite the name suggests the tree is positive. This means there is an incongruence between the expectations about the tree and the reality. Thus, the statement that explains irony is statement D.

"proper planning ensures a healthy balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability of a nation economically and environmentally"
this is an essay, can someone help?
800 words
Answer:
Essay on "proper planning ensures a healthy balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability of a nation economically and environmentally".
Explanation:
Proper planning is required for making growth in the economy and also make the environment safe. For the growth of economy, industries should be built in order to make money from the exports of the materials to other countries. Due to these industries, pollution is increases in the environment from the smoke emitted in the air. So proper planning is needed in order to grow in economy as well as make the environment clean and safe. or this reason, chimneys should be built on the industries in order to prevent the smoke leaving the facility. Use of electric energy taken from solar panel for making goods instead of burning of fossil fuels because burning of fossil fuels produces smoke which pollute the environment. Agricultural production should be increase by using latest technologies from which more foreign currency should be earned without harming the environment. Introduce the electric vehicles in the country which decreases the consumption of fossil fuels in the country and exports these vehicles to the world.
Answer:
Over the past century, unsustainable economic growth caused irreversible damage to the environment such as global warming, sea level rising, extreme climate, to name but a few. Moreover, environmental problems harm people's health, leading to reduce worker's productivity and end up with poverty. Poverty in one nation might cause unrest and insecurity in other nations. "No man is an island", so we need concerted effort to draw a plan for worldwide sustainable development.
First, no one can concern about environment with an empty stomach, so the first thing to do is to ensure a good job for all. It is obvious that society benefits if more people contribute to their nation's growth. Decent work and productive recruitment are keys to fair globalization and poverty reduction. Further, unemployment may lead to unrest in society that affects all us. One possibility is for the government to create more jobs for all, supporting small and medium-sized companies as well as making economic policies for the most vulnerable.
The second is a lasting solution for a more sustainable future in general as well as for an economy-environment balance in particular, that is quality education. Human is the most important factor to resolve any issue, so education is the root solution for economic problem in an environmentally friendly way. For example, we can talk to children about the beauty and the importance of Mother Nature, so that they are likely to respect and protect the environment. Furthermore, education empowers students to do research and perhaps find solutions to live in harmony with the nature. Therefore, the government should place education as a priority. The private sector can support schools by providing education tools or facilities.
Third, a patient can not think about economy nor environment while fighting against their disease, so another vital thing to do is to ensure healthy lives for all. The first step is to promote your own health and the health of those around you by having a healthy lifestyle and making well-informed choices. The next step is to raise public awareness about the importance of good health as well as the right to quality health services. The last step is to put pressure on the government to improve healthcare system.
Fourth, a precursor contributing greatly to economic growth should not be neglected is energy. Despite being a part of our lives, traditional energy source releases greenhouse gases that cause climate change, harm people's health and the environment. Therefore, affordable and clean energy is a big concern these days. Switching into renewable energy is the responsibility of all us. Businesses should commit to use electricity from renewable sources. Investors can invest in green energy, bringing new technology to the market. Individuals should save electricity and reduce carbon emission.
Fifth, sustainable industries, technology and infrastructure create a great deal of employment and income. Technology and innovation are lasting solutions for economic and environmental challenges. New technology facilitates international trade and enables the efficient use of resources. By contrast, failing to improve infrastructure and technology will result in poor healthcare and education. Thus, the government should create regulations to support environment-protecting companies, but fine the ones that damage the environment. It is also necessary to collaborate with NGOs and the public sector to improve the infrastructure of rural areas.
Sixth, sustainable cities and communities are also a part of the big picture of sustainable development. Urban areas are powerful places of economic growth, but they also account for a growing amount of global carbon emission. Another pressing challenge that cities face is inequality. This might push some to be unemployed and end up living in slums. Inadequate living conditions in slums may lead to pollution and disease spread. Inequality can cause unrest in society. These have the potential to disrupt everyone's life. Hence, we should be active in the city development, voting for the leaders who really care for their citizens, helping the poor have access to job, education and healthcare.
Lastly, everyone should take action to tackle climate change and its effects. There are many things we can do as follows: shower in 5 minutes, bring your own bag, drive less, light off and unplug, use local food, reduce meat in our meals, recycle, refill, reuse and finally commit to zero-waste fashion.
To sum up, a proper plan to deal with both economic growth and environmental sustainability require the participation of all society. In addition, the plan is a big picture of all fields, ranging from politics, education to science and technology. Beyond these, sustainable development should be conducted on a worldwide scale.

How does the mention of Governor Faubus in Jackie Robinson’s letter to President Eisenhower strengthen the main argument of the letter? The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office. Robinson notes that Governor Faubus spoke during the Summit Meeting of Negro Leaders and became a symbol of civil rights. Robinson uses Governor Faubus as a metaphor for racial segregation and therefore provides a strong visual image. The reference provides a real-life example of a pro-segregationist and his actions, making the need for civil rights more dire.
The Answer is A: The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office.
Answer:
The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office.
Explanation:
Indeed, it reaffirms the reasons for the President's removal of Governor Faubus from office.
Remember, back in the 1950s during the racial discrimination crises, the Supreme Court made a unanimous decision to allow black students to attend the same school with the whites.
However, Governor Faubus went against the court ruling by directing that black students be prevented from coming to the Little Rock Central High School. An action that made Eisenhower dislike him.
