LITERARY ANALYSIS: In "My True South: Why I Decided to Return Home," Jesmyn Ward uses narrative nonfiction and employs figurative

language to strengthen her argument that while she is critical of the South, it is her home and is worth fighting for. Identify the reasons and

evidence that Ward provides to support her claim. Then, analyze how her use of figurative language throughout the essay serves to strengthen

her claim. Use textual evidence to support your response.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In her essay, Jesmyn Ward describes racism in Mississippi telling real situations that she, her family and friends lived there. She is very critical of the systemic racism in the south of the country: "Sometimes the aggression is deeper, systemic. It is black children in my family enrolling in free preschool programs where their teachers barely tolerate them, ignore them, do a terrible job of leading them to learning."

However, she also relates how the people she knows and love try to fight back the racism by staying alert when they see a situation where someone is in danger or is being discriminated: " I remember that Mississippi is not only its ugliness, its treachery, its willful ignorance (...) . Here is one of my best friends from high school, a white woman with two toddlers, who stops her car when she sees black people pulled over by the police, pulling out her phone and filming in an attempt to belay disaster, to hold authority accountable."

Jesmyn Ward also uses figurative language throughout the essay to strengthen her claim, to give more meaning to the situations she is describing and to properly describe what she goes through when she is there, to emphasize and transmit the way she feels: "We stand at the edge of a gulf, looking out on a surging, endless expanse of time and violence, constant and immense, and like water, it wishes to swallow us. We resist. "

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to read the essay "My True South: Why I Decided to Return Home" written by Jesmyn Ward and then analyze the use of figurative language, which is a way of writing where writers can give more meaning to what they are describing, more power to the words, because the meaning of the words are not literal.

Answer 2

In her exposition, Jesmyn Ward depicts bigotry in Mississippi let genuine circumstances know that she, her loved ones lived there. She is exceptionally disparaging of the fundamental bigotry in the south of the country. In some cases the animosity is more profound, foundational. It is dark youngsters in my family selecting free preschool programs where their instructors scarcely endure them, overlook them, make an awful showing of driving them to learning.  

In any case, she likewise relates how individuals she knows and love attempt to retaliate the prejudice by remaining ready when they see a circumstance where somebody is in harm's way or is being segregated." I recollect that Mississippi isn't just its grotesqueness, its bad form, its adamant obliviousness . Here is perhaps my closest companion from secondary school, a white lady with two little children, who stops her vehicle when she sees individuals of color pulled over by the police, taking out her telephone and shooting trying to belay calamity, to consider authority responsible.

Jesmyn Ward likewise utilizes non-literal language all through the article to reinforce her case, to give more importance to the circumstances she is depicting and to appropriately portray what she goes through when she is there, to accentuate and communicate the manner in which she feels as We stand at the edge of a bay, watching out on a flooding, unending span of time and savagery, steady and enormous, and like water, it wishes to swallow us.

Explanation:

Read the story and answer the questions with full sentences.

Whatever hour you woke there was a door shutting. From room to room they went, hand in hand, lifting here, opening there, making sure—a ghostly couple.
“Here we left it,” she said. And he added, “Oh, but here too!” “It’s upstairs,” she murmured. “And in the garden,” he whispered “Quietly,” they said, “or we shall wake them.”
But it wasn’t that you woke us. Oh, no.
“They’re looking for it; they’re drawing the curtain,” one might say, and so read on a page or two. “Now they’ve found it,” one would be certain, stopping the pencil on the margin. And then, tired of reading, one might rise and see for oneself, the house all empty, the doors standing open, only the wood pigeons bubbling with content and the hum of the threshing machine sounding from the farm.
“What did I come in here for? What did I want to find?” My hands were empty. “Perhaps it’s upstairs then?” The apples were in the loft. And so down again, the garden still as ever, only the book had slipped into the grass.
But they had found it in the drawing room. Not that one could ever see them. The window panes reflected apples, reflected roses; all the leaves were green in the glass. If they moved in the drawing room, the apple only turned its yellow side.Yet, the moment after, if the door was opened, spread about the floor, hung upon the walls, pendant from the ceiling—what? My hands were empty. The shadow of a thrush crossed the carpet; from
the deepest wells of silence the wood pigeon drew its bubble of sound. “Safe, safe, safe,” the pulse of the house beat softly. “The treasure buried; the room . . . ” the pulse stopped short. Oh, was that the buried treasure? A moment later the light had faded. Out in the garden then? But the trees spun darkness for a wandering beam of sun. So fine, so rare, coolly sunk beneath the surface the beam I sought always burnt behind the glass. Death was the glass; death was between us; coming to the woman first, hundreds of years ago, leaving the house, sealing all the windows; the rooms were darkened.
He left it, left her, went North, went East, saw the stars turned in the Southern sky; sought the house, found it dropped beneath the Downs. “Safe, safe, safe,” the pulse of the house beat gladly. “The Treasure yours.”
The wind roars up the avenue. Trees stoop and bend this way and that. Moonbeams splash and spill wildly in the rain. But the beam of the lamp falls straight from the window. The candle burns stiff and still.
Wandering through the house, opening the windows, whispering not to wake us, the ghostly couple seek their joy. “Here we slept,” she says. And he adds, “Kisses without number.”
“Waking in the morning—” “Silver between the trees—” “Upstairs—” “In the garden—” “When summer came—” “In winter snowtime—” The doors go shutting far in the distance, gently knocking like the pulse of a heart.
Nearer they come; cease at the doorway. The wind falls, the rain slides silver down the glass. Our eyes darken; we hear no steps beside us; we see no lady spread her ghostly cloak. His hands shield the lantern. “Look,” he breathes. “Sound asleep. Love upon their lips.”Stooping, holding their silver lamp above us, long they look and deeply. Long they pause. The wind drives straightly; the flame stoops slightly. Wild beams of moonlight cross both floor and wall, and, meeting, stain the faces bent; the faces pondering; the faces that search the sleepers and seek their hidden joy.
“Safe, safe, safe,” the heart of the house beats proudly. “Long years—
” he sighs. “Again you found me.” “Here,” she murmurs, “sleeping; in
the garden reading; laughing, rolling apples in the loft. Here we left our treasure—” Stooping, their light lifts the lids upon my eyes.
“Safe! safe! safe!” the pulse of the house beats wildly.
Waking, I cry “Oh, is this your buried treasure? The light in the heart.”

Write a long paragraph discussing the positive aspects of lockdown (don’t waste my points or you’ll get reported)

Answers

Answer:

When we don’t have to commute long distances to get to work or have to get the kids ready for school on time, we can get a little more sleep. Even an extra hour of sleep could mean seven hours instead of six, which makes a big difference to our health. In the evening too, as people don’t have to get home late, it is possible to get to bed a little earlier and get more rest. Not only are we stuck at home, but most restaurants and delivery services have stopped.

Many of us have also become cautious about eating outside food because we don’t want to catch COV...ID-19. The extra time on our hands and the worry of gaining weight have prompted many people to start working out at home. From yoga and meditation to energetic Zumba sessions, people all over the world are getting creative with their home workouts. With domestic help also needing to stay home, we find ourselves needing to do our own housework. This is a good thing for several reasons. Housework is one of the most productive ways to keep busy and not get bored. You are personally invested when you are cleaning your own home so you do a much better job.

You find things that you haven’t used in a long time and can take the call to throw them out. And you end up with a much cleaner living space. Sweeping, mopping, dusting, and cleaning cobwebs are all ways to keep active and burn extra calories. With parents working from home and kids not having to go to school, this is the best time to bond as a family. As parents get involved in home-schooling, they start to understand what their kids are learning in school, what their difficulties are, and how they can help them. Families also have more time to do fun stuff together like play board games, cook meals, do arts and crafts, and much more.

This time together is a great way to relieve stress and improve mental health. It might not seem like it at first, but the lockdown can have many benefits. The positive impact on our health and well-being is a good reason why everyone should take this time and make the most of it. If staying active if your forte then you might as well earn rewards by staying fit and avail discounts on your health insurance premiums and other services.

'People have become obsessed with travelling ever further and faster. However, travel is expensive, dangerous, damaging and a foolish waste of time!"

Write an article for a news website in which you argue your point of view on this statement.

Answers

Answer:

Most of people love travelling. However, sometimes it is not a decision for everyone.

On one hand, it is something very expensive. Some people have to decide to travel and go on holidays with months in advance because they need to plan the amount of money they are going to spend. However, you can always find offers and buy tickets for a good price. Nevertheless, traveling is no good for the planet. Planes are extremely pollutants. Airlines are trying to make flights more ecofriendly but it is not something that is completely solved.

On the other hand, travelling is one of the best decision you could make. You change your everyday scene, you can learn from new cultures, you can have different and exciting experiences. Every destination is so different and that makes every trip a different adventure for you.

To sum up, travelling is exciting. It could never be a waste of time. However, you have to be an adventurous person and a person who likes to leave home from time to time. If you are very aware of the planet, you have to check the airlines that have more ecofriendly flights.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to write an article about your point of view on travelling. It's important to select what you think is the best and the worst about travelling and then give the opinions an order. You can use the quote given to state if you believe the quote is true or not.
