(a) What type of poem is "Elliptical"? Explain. (b) In what ways does the choice of form affect how the reader experiences the poem? (c) Rewrite the poem, adding line breaks that make sense to you. Compare with the original. What is lost and what is gained by the poet's choice of form?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

"Elliptical" is a prose poem.

Rewritten with line breaks:

They just can’t seem to…

They should try harder to…

They ought to be more…

We all wish they weren’t so…

They never…

They always…

Sometimes they…

Once in a while they…

However it is obvious that they…

Their overall tendency has been…

The consequences of which have been…

They don’t appear to understand that…

If only they would make an effort to…

But we know how difficult it is for them to…

Many of them remain unaware of…

Some who should know better simply refuse to…

Of course, their perspective has been limited by…

On the other hand, they obviously feel entitled to…

Certainly we can’t forget that they…

Nor can it be denied that they…

We know that this has had an enormous impact on their…

Nevertheless their behavior strikes us as…

Our interactions unfortunately have been…

Compare and contrast:

The poet's choice of form has pros and cons. On the one hand, because none of the sentences in the poem are completed, the paragraph-like structure of the poem could make it easy for the reader to get lost or bored. However, this may still have been a valid artistic choice. After all, the poem is about the "elliptical" of excuses for racism, so maybe it makes sense to have the reader get tired, and associate that weariness with those excuses. In contrast, making the poem have lines and stanzas, rather than a paragraph structure, makes the reader more likely to try to interpret the individual significance of each line, rather than look at what the lines all mean together.

Answer:

A. threatening her competence

Explanation:

Competence refers to a person's ability to discharge his duties well because he is skilled at his job. A competent person discharges his duties well and is excellent at his job. When a person is consistently accused at work for not discharging his duties properly, the accuser is pointing fingers at his competence.

So, when a coworker questions Darias' ability to do her job, he is threatening her competence.

The Tropics in New York
Claude McKay

Bananas ripe and green, and ginger-root,
Cocoa in pods and alligator pears,°
And tangerines and mangoes and grape fruit,
Fit for the highest prize at parish fairs,

5 Set in the window, bringing memories
Of fruit-trees laden by low-singing rills,
And dewy dawns, and mystical blue skies
In benediction° over nun-like hills.

My eyes grew dim, and I could no more gaze;
10 A wave of longing through my body swept,
And, hungry for the old, familiar ways,
I turned aside and bowed my head and wept.

What does it mean to be brave? What motivates people to be brave? How did Díaz finally confront his fears, and what was the result? Do you think Díaz acted bravely? Why?

Answers

Incomplete question. The complete question reads;

In the context of the text, what does it mean to be brave? How did Díaz finally confront his fears, and what was the result? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and  other literature, art, or history in your answer.

Explanation:

From the text, to show how fear drives action an excerpt from the novel Dune was mentioned by the narrator, he said " ‘‘Fear is the mind-killer,’’ and let me tell you, my man knows of what he speaks. When the brothers appeared, I couldn’t think for nothing. I would drop whatever I was doing  and get away, and it was only later, after I calmed down, that I would realize what I had done." In other words, it pursues one into running from the object or subject of fear. Motivation to be brave often comes from the fact that it is the only way out attaining freedom from fear.

Díaz said he finally confronted his fears when he no longer fled from his bullies, in fact, he said,

"I forced myself to stop. I forced myself to turn toward them, and it felt as if the whole world was turning with me. I couldn’t make myself walk toward them, I could barely even look at them, so I settled for standing still. As the brothers approached, the ground started tilting out from under me. One of them scowled. And then, without a word, they walked past"

“In the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. there hangs a quilt unlike any other in the world. In fanciful, inspired, and yet simple and identifiable figures, it portrays the story of the Crucifixion. It is considered rare, beyond price. Though it follows no known pattern of quilt-making, and thought it is made of bits and pieces of worthless rags, it is obviously the work of a person of powerful imagination and deep spiritual feeling. Below this quilt I saw a note that says it was made by “an anonymous Black woman in Alabama, a hundred years ago.” If we could locate this “anonymous” black woman from Alabama, she would turn out to be one of our grandmothers-an artist who left her mark in the only materials she could afford, and in the only medium her position in society allowed her to use.”
