Sympathy
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals--
I know what the caged bird feels!


I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting--
I know why he beats his wing!


I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,--
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he fling--
I know why the caged bird sings!


Which of the following best explains how the use of dialect connects to the overall message?


He uses dialect to better connect the message to the intended audience.

He uses dialect to make the poem more entertaining.

He uses dialect to make the poem rhyme.

He uses dialect to help the reader understand who the speaker of the poem is

Answer:

A-He uses dialect to better connect the message to the intended audience.

Explanation:

In this poem, we see that the dialect is one of rare poetries. We are able to understand that the "caged bird" can resemble different things. An animal trapped, or a human stuck in its own mind.

A caged bird beats its wing, or it sings. It's praying to the Heavens above, wishing for something else, for a miracle to come through to him/her.

I think that this is a way for the poet to connect to its intended audience, of which are the people that feel trapped and alone. Why they do the things they do. They don't intend to fully harm themselves or sob, but they wish to have a different fate, and they pray that one day, if they continue to do it, a miracle will come their way.

At least that is my interpretation of the poem. The caged bird is to resemble a person who is stuck in their thoughts, lost in their mind, not knowing what to do next. I feel the intended audience is those people, and the people who feel that way but don't know it yet.

I hope this helps!

Why can’t I forget the earnest eyes of the man who said to me in Jordan, "Until you speak Arabic, you will not understand pain"? Ridiculous, I thought. He went on, something to do with an Arab carrying sorrow in the back of the skull that only language cracks. A few words couldn’t do it. A general passive understanding wasn’t enough. At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, "I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel – so lonely for one. " And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. —"Speaking Arabic," Naomi Shihab Nye How does the anecdote, which appeals to pathos, effectively support Nye’s purpose? The anecdote makes readers feel sorry for the man’s lack of heritage, then reminds readers that the man has an equally valuable heritage. The anecdote makes readers want to enjoy the delicious ethnic food at the fair, then reminds them they have their own ethnic food. The anecdote makes readers empathize with the man from Jordan, in contrast to Nye, who seems unable to understand pain. The anecdote uses logical evidence, such as facts and statistics, to explain why heritage is important.

In The Hunger Games series, the Capitol has gone to extreme measures to keep the districts in line and to win the current war. For example, the creation of muttations that are both physically and mentally harmful, along with the hijacking of Peeta's mind, cannot be viewed as "humane" war tactics. Even the rebels are known for abandoning their morals when they create the avalanche on the Nut, trapping and harming countless innocent citizens inside. Think about what it takes to win a war and consider: At what point does humanity cross the line? Do you think there should be rules to abide by in wartime? If yes, what rules would you have? If no, why do you think anything should be allowed? Write your thoughts in two or more complete sentences.​

The Black Cat

by Edgar Allan Poe (excerpt)


For the most wild, yet most homely narrative which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet, mad am I not—and very surely do I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburthen my soul. My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events. In their consequences, these events have terrified—have tortured—have destroyed me. Yet I will not attempt to expound them. To me, they have presented little but Horror—to many they will seem less terrible than barroques. Hereafter, perhaps, some intellect may be found which will reduce my phantasm to the common-place—some intellect more calm, more logical, and far less excitable than my own, which will perceive, in the circumstances I detail with awe, nothing more than an ordinary succession of very natural causes and effects.
