What does the masquerade mentioned in line 9 represent in the poem

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The word "masquerade" represents the people who stand behind a false mask, who pretend and put up appearances for others to see while hiding their true selves, feelings behind a mask.

Explanation:

Nikki Grimes' poem "Jabari Unmasked" revolves around an unnamed speaker's frustration at the injustice her people are treated with. The poem is a strong expression of discontent of discrimination and the efforts of the blacks to try to blend in while hiding their true feelings just to evade any trouble.

In line 9, the speaker says "We despise the masquerade". The masquerade here seems to suggest the 'made-up' appearance, the fake show that the people have to put up to hide their true feelings. The word also represents the people who had to put on a pretend face for others to see, hiding their true selves behind a mask.

SIMPLE,PROGRESSIVE,PERFECT OR PROGRESSIVE ASPECT


1. chased

2. was talking

3. had been fishing

4. will be dancing

5. had been keeping

6. has ended

7. is walking

8. am living

9. will have been walking

10. will have ended

Answers

Answer:

1). Chased - simple(past)

2). Was talking - progressive(past)

3). Had been fishing - perfect progressive(past)

4). Will be dancing - progressive(future)

5). Had been keeping → perfect and progressive

6). Has ended - perfect(present)

7). Is walking - progressive(present)

8). Am living - progressive(present)

9). Will have been working - perfect progressive(future)

10). Will have ended - perfect(past)

Explanation:

The simple tense is characterized into three categories in order to denote facts or regular actions. Present simple expresses habitual actions(using V1 + s/es) while past simple denotes an action that took place in the past(time before now using V2) and the future simple is used to show actions that will take place in the future.

Progressive or Continuous tense talks about the continuity of an action, be it in present, be it in past, or will be in progression in the future. In present progressive, the continuity is shown using 'is/am/are + V1 + ing' while in the past progressive 'was/were + V1 + ing' and in the future progressive 'will/shall + be + V1 + ing' is used.

The perfect tense is employed to express the actions that have been completed or will have been completed at a specific time in the future. Thus, it is called perfect. It employs 'has/have + V3'(in present), 'had + V3'(in past), and 'will/shall + have + V3'(in future).

While the perfect continuous/progressive tense is to display an action that began at a specific time and is in continuity, was in continuity, or will be in continuity till a particular time. Thus, it shows perfection and continuity at the same time.

In present perfect progressive, the rule 'has been/have been + V1 + ing + since/for' while in the past perfect progressive, 'had been + V1 + ing + since/for' is employed and in future progressive tense, 'will have been/shall have been + V1 + ing + since/for' is employed.

discussion, they came together and signed the Mayflower Compact.
The Compact was
a container for makeup
a small item
a machine used for mashing corn
an agreement

Answers

Answer:

an agreement.

Explanation:

The Mayflower compact was a document signed on a boat on the 11th of November, 1620 by forty-one (41) males of the one hundred and two (102) passengers on board while the boat was anchored in Provincetown Harbor (Cape Cod) due to the effect of turbulent storm. The document derived its name from the English ship known as Mayflower which was heading to Plymouth, Massachusetts due to storms and treacherous shoals rather than its original destination, which was the Colony of Virginia.

The Mayflower compact was a document which established a social contract and "rule of law" in order to make the pilgrims (saints) and non-pilgrims (strangers) remain loyal to King James 1, foster Christianity (Christian faith) and for the overall good of the colony.

Hence, the Saints and Strangers argued about how they would live in the New World. After much discussion, they came together and signed the Mayflower Compact.

Thus, the Compact was an agreement.
