Gordimer paints a picture of Johannesburg to support her point of view about apartheid. This allows the reader to experience her life in apartheid. In a short essay of at least two hundred words, discuss whether you think this technique is persuasive or if Gordimer should have directly stated her views on apartheid.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In "1959:What Is Apartheid?", Gordimer paints a picture of Johannesburg, the city she lives in, to support her point of view about apartheid. She writes about her experience with being raised in a home with servants and the prejudice that her family, and basically the rest of the white people had against black people. “But no black man has his home in the white city; neither wealth nor honour or distinction of any kind could entitle him to move into a house in the street where I or any other white persons live. So it easily happens that thousands of white people live their whole lives without ever exchanging a word with a black man who is like themselves, on their own social and cultural level...Out of this experience all the platitudes of apartheid sound endlessly, like the bogus sea from the convolutions of a big shell: they're like children . .. they don't think the way we do . .. they're not ready ..”. Gordimer explains how the white people viewed and thought about black people. She is persuasive in the way she describes how segregation had treated black people more drastically.  I think she did stated opinion clearly, Gordimer is against apartheid and thinks it was terrible and dehumanizing how the “servants” were treated.  

Answer 2

The technique used by Gordimer is persuasive because, in Gordimer’s essay, she explains that people of color take the jobs that no white man wants and that they are not allowed in any bar, club, etc.

What is apartheid?

Apartheid was a system of enforced racial segregation that lasted from 1948 until the early 1990s in South Africa and South West Africa.

Apartheid was defined by an authoritarian political culture centered on baasskap, which ensured that South Africa was governed politically, socially, and economically by the country's dominant minority white population through majoritarianism.

This strategy is compelling since Gordimer states in her essay that people of color do jobs that no white man wants and are not permitted in any bar, club, or other establishment. And that no lady is permitted. And she does an excellent job of detailing what people of color and women faced at the period, as well as why they couldn't do what white males could.

A white guy could accomplish tasks that no woman or brown person could do. A white guy might vote and be seen at a bar with more freedom and liberties than a black or female person. And a white guy may serve in the military or be paid more than a black or Hispanic man or woman. A black guy could vote, but it didn't count, and women couldn't vote.

Romeo and Juliet -

How would you describe the character, Romeo?

Please provide 3 points outlining his character.

Each point should have its own paragraph.

This is due very soon and I need it ASAP.

Thank you. ​

Answers

Answer:

Romeo's character has been interpreted in a number of ways by critics, but most would agree that he is portrayed, certainly early in the play, as particularly prone to falling in love. He is in love with Rosaline at the opening of the play, and distraught because she will not return his love. Yet within moments after meeting Juliet, he has forgotten all about his former love interest and is completely infatuated with his new love. All of Romeo's friends, especially Mercutio and Friar Lawrence, chide him for this characteristic, which strikes them as fickle. 

Related to this trait is Romeo's impulsiveness. After only a very brief encounter with Juliet, he is prepared to marry her. It is also true, of course, that she wants to marry him as well, so this characteristic is more a comment on the impulsiveness of youth rather than anything inherent about Romeo's character. Still, on multiple instances throughout the play, he takes actions without considering the consequences, such as when he kills Tybalt. 

Finally, some readers might conclude that Romeo is still rather childish and somewhat self-absorbed. For example, when he learns that he is to be banished rather than executed for killing Tybalt, he throws himself to the ground weeping, and is rebuked by the Friar for doing so. He does not recognize his good fortune. However, it could be persuasively argued that this act only demonstrates the depth of his love for Juliet.

Read the poem.

The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein

I.

Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"

II.

Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."

III.

And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.

B. one student shares facts and opinions.
C.the teacher introduces the topic.
D.other students listen to the answer.

Answers

Answer:

C. the teacher introduces the topic.

Explanation:

A group discussion can be defined as a form of communication in which a group of people meet face-to-face (one on one) to exchange ideas, interact, and share opinions on a common topic or subject matter.

Generally, group discussions comprises of members and a leader who is saddled with the responsibility of presenting the topic, stating the facts and overall coordination of the discussion. Also, the various members involved in the group discussion are able to connect what they see, hear and how everyone responds to each other.

During the first step of a group discussion, the teacher introduces the topic. The topic to be discussed in group should first of all be introduced by the teacher to the discussants (students) so as to enable them have an idea or understanding of what the conversation would be about.

Additionally, none of the group members should be silenced or restricted from sharing their opinions, ideas or feelings about the subject matter (topic being discussed). This would go a long way to stimulate and promote collaborative conversation as many members would share their opinions and ideas freely.
