Thomas Paine was one of the fundamental advocates of the American cause for independence. Choose the

Because it illustrated the moral superiority of Americans in relation to the English.
Because it justified the implementation of abusive laws by the English.
Because it showed Americans the importance of organizing troops.
Because it rejected religion in favor of a completely secular view of the world.
 Because it indicated different reasons for America to separate from England.

Explicação:
Paine's text is composed of several reasons - some logical, some very creative - that justify America's
separation from England. Some of these are the geographical distance between the two countries and the fact
that the Reformation happened before the discovery of America. The correct answer is then: "Because it
indicated different reasons for America to separate from England".

In 1619, the first group of African people arrived in the American territory to work as slaves. In 1860, the
African American population of the United States - almost all slaves, responsible for almost all the agriculture
of the country - reached nearly four million people. The transatlantic slave trade was characterized by:
the presence of black workers in Northern factories.
laws which prohibited the mistreatment of black workers.
the opposition of European leaders to treating people as property.
 commercial deals involving the trade of people and goods.
the use of paid African American labor in the South.
Respondido em 10/09/2022 09:27:43

The body, or rather the problem of embodiment, which this poem proposes, is a central figure, or site, in
Dickinson's work. It intersects a range of forces or concerns both powerful and colliding. This begins with
questions of identity that almost obsessively concern her. Such questions are multiple. They include her
identity as a poet, where the very possibility of, or desire for, embodiment in a text and as a language is highly
ambivalent; her identity as a woman, both in terms of inhabiting a woman's body and of womanhood as a
figure for the body; her religious identity, in a broad metaphysical context of ambivalence towards material
and temporal embodiment; and finally, her identity as an American, in terms of definitions of selfhood as these
have peculiarly taken shape within the history of the United States. (WOLOSKY, 2002, p. 129-130)

After reading the contextualization above and the affirmatives below, mark the only option indicating the
correct set of affirmative(s).
I. Emily Dickinson was a poet of sole abstraction, exclusively interested in the subject of the human soul.
II. Body and soul were not considered as two separate elements.
III. Emily believed that elaborating an identity for oneself involved deep reflection upon the relation between
body and soul.
I, II and III.
 II a III, only.
I and III, only.
II, only.
I, only.
Respondido em 10/09/2022 09:27:53
 
 
Explicação:
Answer: II a III, only.
Feedback: Dickinson's poetry regards both body and soul as a conjoined aspect of human nature. The conflicts
she experiences as a woman, as an embodied woman, are also the conflicts which shape her interest in religion,
for example. Deemed as the "fragile sex", women were not as welcome in nineteenth-century Heaven as men
were. To identify herself as an embodied person reflected directly on how Emily connected to her deepest
feelings regarded as her soul.

The ballad form occupies an important place in Longfellow's poetry. European writers such as Coleridge and
Schiller had revived this medieval artform. Choose the alternative that correctly states why Longfellow took an
interest in Coleridge's and Schiller's ballads:
Due to their musicality, shortness, and fluid form.
The ballad conciseness served his purpose of morally educating the country well.
Since no other form could incorporate the American rhythm of speech.
 Due to their potential to operate as national identity marks.
As a hybrid form, the ballad paved the way for the rise of the novel.

Explicação:
Answer: Due to their potential to operate as national identity marks.
Feedback: Longfellow's interest in Coleridge's and Schiller's ballads was due to their capacity to operate as a
national identity mark. That seems to be one of Longfellow's major goals when he started writing his own
ballads: to incorporate the Romantic movement of reviving the ballad into the American poetic tradition.

"In the small Puritan town of Milford, the townspeople walk to church. As they're settling into their seats, the
sexton points out Milford's young minister, Reverend Hooper, walking thoughtfully toward the church. Hooper is
wearing a black veil that covers his entire face except for his mouth and chin. This sight disturbs and perplexes
the townspeople, and some think that Hooper has gone insane, but when he delivers his sermon for the day,
they are unusually moved"

when portrays ____________. 
 
Choose the best option to fill the gap

the whale as a symbol of dark forces
the dangers and exoticism of the sea 
the prototype of human fallibility in Ahab
Respondido em 10/09/2022 09:30:09
 
 
Explicação:
The novel portrays the whaling business in the United States in the 19th century in a very realistic tone. Ishmael
interrupts his narrative to speak as an advocate for the dignity of the whaling industry and argues that whaling
is a clean and upright profession that brings considerable profit to the economy. The whale, the ship and the
characteristics of Captain Ahab are examples of symbolism in the narrative.

In Henry James's The Turn of the Screw, critics such as Edmund Wilson and Harold C. Goddard formulate,
each in their own way, a "hallucination theory" to explain the Governess' accounts of ghost apparitions at the
Bly mansion.
 
Choose the alternative that defines this theory:
The house members feed on products that lead them to altered psychological states.
The Governess' attempt to become an independent woman is reflected in her visions.
 The apparitions are built by the imagination of the Governess, who suffers from sexual repression.
The children are, in fact, products of the Governess' dream, as revealed at the end.

Explicação:
Wilson and Goddard were precursors of the analysis of Henry James' masterpiece from a psychological
perspective, following the theories of Sigmund Freud. According to the critics, there are no ghosts in the house.
They are, in fact, hallucinations caused by sexual disorders experienced by the Governess, who projects them
into the creation of these supernatural characters.

The Age of Innocence is one of the most important novels in modern American literature and a masterpiece by
Edith Wharton. Not coincidentally, the book won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making the writer the first
woman to win the award. The story takes place in Gilded Age New York City, marked by profound
socioeconomic changes, at the end of the 19th century.
 
Among the innovations brought by the novel, we can highlight:
 The realist perception as a result of the articulation between social and psychological perspectives.
The use of literary techniques never utilized in North American literature.
 The discussion on the limits of the less privileged classes in economic terms.
The presentation of characters in crisis with their family's past.
The experimentation of the population's language, constituted by European immigrants.
Respondido em 10/09/2022 09:30:33
 
 
Explicação:
Although influenced by Henry James, Edith Wharton deepened her "sense of imprisonment" by retaking, within
the social conventions of the North American upper middle class, the struggles experienced by women in
society, trying to occupy their position according to their desires and thoughts. In this novel, social realism is
combined with psychological realism, as we are introduced to the characters' internal conflicts to understand the
motivation of their actions.
