Answer 5

sorry i havent read the book

Answer 6

Thanks anyways

Answer 7

I haven't read the book but in terms of diction look at what specific words the author uses to describe the human rights issue. usually the words will have a negative connotation (woe, misery, bondage) meaning that the author holds a negative view on the infringement of this human right. Characterization is the characters. watch how they interact with the issue and the interaction between the issue and the main character likely holds the main message the author is sending, whether the character shows favor or disgust for the human right's issue. Sorry for not being able to help more. I haven't read the book. Any questions on specific quotes?

Answer 13

I have done the first part not the second because i cant seem to do it

Answer 14

Ok. So I read up about the book a bit. You'll want to focus on the diction first. So where does the author talk most about the human rights issue and what exact words does she use?

Answer 15

I'm not being very clear. So you obviously know the author's opinion about the issue because you can answer the first question. How does her opinion relate to the words she uses?

Answer 16

See i dont know what words she used. This is my poorest subject.

Answer 17

Ok, that's a good grasp of the opinion. Since the author's view is feminist, what words did she use to convey this. Do you have the text of the book with you to find it?

Answer 18

I dont have the book. I looked the book up online.

Answer 19

Did you read it or have any experience with the text?

Answer 20

Yes i did. I know that Janie was raised by her Grandma (Nanny) with white folks. Nanny was in slavery, and was raped. Janies best friend is Pheoby. Janie is black, and Nanny's wishes is for janie to marry.

Answer 21

That's a good start. I found the text and some examples for you:
"Where he left her?—What he done wid all her money?—Betcha he off wid some gal so young she ain’t even got no hairs—why she don’t stay in her class?—"
Here's an example of the characterization part of the question. The characters are defining the character based on her husband, not really paying attention to the woman that she is. Additionally, the slang like "wid," "ain't," and, "betcha" could show that the opinions of the author on this type of judgment are low.

Answer 22

so Janie is being defined based on her mate, and how wealthy she is

Answer 23

But that goes with what I said for the First response paragraph

Answer 24

Exactly, this is where it gets difficult. The questions still deals with the authors opinion, but the second question asks for how the author shows the opinion through the EXACT WORDS AND CHARACTERS in the story :). The quote is from chapter 1.

Answer 25

That sounds good, though the last sentence should specify the nature of the "poor" opinion because the current wording implies that the opinion itself is poor, not the subject of the opinion

Answer 26

so what should i change? or tips to make it better?

Answer 27

It could be changed to something like "the opinion of the author about this is poor" or something along those lines.

Answer 28

i dont want you to just give me the answer. that would be wrong of me. i just need a little more guidance

Answer 29

thanks so much for all your help. :)

Answer 30

Answer 31

Answer 32

Answer 33

thanks
