Many groups of Native Americans had a story-telling tradition, which was passed on from generation to
generation. What characterized such tradition?
the publication of early texts.
an emphasis on the violence of the English settlers.
the influence of European folk stories.
 tales related to creation myths.
narratives describing their relations to animals.
Respondido em 30/10/2022 01:37:28
 
 
Explicação:
Many stories told by Native Americans involve myths about the creation of the world, especially in relation to
the ways in which mankind became intrinsically linked to nature. These stories, however, were never actually
written down and rather than an emphasis on the violence of the English settlers, they were meant to conceive
different perspectives about the world and the lifeforms (not just animals, though!) in it.

"Westward expansion began in earnest in 1803. Thomas Jefferson negotiated a treaty with France in which the United
States paid France $15 million for the Louisiana Territory - 828,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River -
effectively doubling the size of the young nation. The lands acquired stretched from the Mississippi River to the Rocky
Mountains and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border(...) American artists explored this new territory and
chronicled the settlement of the frontier: landscapes extolling the nation's geographic wonders from Niagara Falls to the
Grand Canyon drove and documented westward expansion"

eras/expansion/#:~:text=Westward%20expansion%20began%20in%20earnest,size%20of%20the%20young%20nation.
 
The westward expansion was justified by a quite American doctrine: Manifest destiny. The doctrine of Manifest Destiny is
characterized by the idea that:
Nationalism was to be the central feature of the nation.
Democracy was the founding principle of the country.
Christianity should be the official religion of the US.
 Territorial expansion over North America is a divine right.
Capitalism is considered the best economic system.
Respondido em 30/10/2022 01:37:50
 
 
Explicação:
Answer: Territorial expansion over North America is a divine right.
Feedback: According to the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, the US was destined by God to spread its population all over
North America, bringing their values to new territories (which were considered underdeveloped). The correct answer is
then: "territorial expansion over North America is a divine right".

Allegories and symbols.
 Capitalizations and dashes.
Dashes and nominalizations.
Metaphors and hyperboles.
Respondido em 30/10/2022 01:38:13
 
 
Explicação:
Answer: Capitalizations and dashes.
Feedback: Emily Dickinson brought about formal innovations to the writing of poems. Reading her poems
should combine addressing the social issues they tap into, that is, the content of the verses, with an
interpretation of how the verses occupy the pages. Her poems are also visual constructions. That being said,
two features stand out in how her verses are visually presented: her use of capitalizations as well as dashes.

I dwell in Possibility -
A fairer House than Prose -
More numerous of Windows -
Superior - for Doors -
 
Of Chambers as the Cedars -
Impregnable of eye -
And for an everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky -

Considering the poem above, mark the correct affirmative regarding Dickinson¿s approach to the metaphorical
complex of "the house":
The metaphorical limits of the house seem to be highly valued by Dickinson, here, allowing her to do
anything she wants between four walls.
 The physical limits of the house do not seem to agree with Dickinson¿s vision for herself, who "dwells
in possibility" imagining a house "More numerous of Windows -".
The metaphorical limits of the house dwell on the fact that Dickinson seems to claim more space for
herself as a woman, who wishes to speak about Paradise freely, within the discourse of her time.
The physical limits of the house seem to be equivalent for her own vastness as a person, not at all
limiting in terms of their restrictions, only enlarging "The spreading wide" of her Hands.
The physical limits of the house operate a restraining order upon Dickinson¿s body, yet they offer the
possibility to live in "A fairer House than Prose -", even though it limits one¿s self.

Explicação:
Answer: The physical limits of the house do not seem to agree with Dickinson¿s vision for herself, who "dwells
in possibility" imagining a house "More numerous of Windows -".
Feedback: Emily lived in Amherst for her whole life, in The Homestead, a house pertaining to her family since
its earliest days. Next to her house, her father - Edward Dickinson (1803 - 1874) - issued the construction of
The Evergreens, a house meant to shelter Austin Dickinson and his wife Susan. The house, this great monument
of a building, would become for Emily's poetry an important trope; just as the trope of being enclosed in the
house would also be important for her. One thinks that the verse "My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun - in
Corners" may be brought forth as a famous example of the feeling of being circumscribed between the walls of
the house. In the verses, however, since she "dwells in possibility", the lyrical "I" experienceopposed that of
being enclosed in a house, limited by four walls. Thus, the option "The physical limits of the house do not seem
to agree with Dickinson's vision for herself, who "dwells in possibility" imagining a house "More numerous of
Windows -" contains the correct answer.

"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"

Choose the alternative that best completes the sentence below
secrets
 sins
sermons
death
illness
Respondido em 30/10/2022 01:39:04
 
 
Explicação:
The black veil worn by the minister, and the ones worn by the congregation, in the minister¿s view at his death
bed, represent the hidden sins which everyone carries, because we are all sinners, according to the Puritan
doctrine. Sermons, secrets, illness, and death are all elements present in the short story, but the black veil is a
symbol of the hidden sins.

In Chapter 31 of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain builds a revealing scene of the contradictions
carried by the main character of his novel, which, in a way, reflects the conflicts inherent to the social, political
and cultural transformations that the country was undergoing in that period. Huck writes a letter to Miss
Watson due to the guilt he felt for helping Jim escape, but he then tears it up when he thinks about his friend.
 
The scene in question is considered one of the most emblematic of North American literature, as it exposes:
The escape from reality that presents itself through the representation of literate culture.
 The questioning of institutions that justify and sustain slavery and racism.
The religious guilt of a society that understands each individual¿s role in its development.
The facing of the economic problems that arise with the arrival of war.
The problems of an agrarian society that has difficulty in modernizing itself.
Respondido em 30/10/2022 01:39:16
 
 
Explicação:
Mark Twain, despite having been born and raised in the southern United States, refused to fight for slavery
when the Civil War came. The character Huckleberry Finn, in addition to being the representation of one of the
socially discredited layers, is also an effort to reflect on the moral and social conflicts in face of the issue of
slavery and freedom for the black population. The letter is a symbol of the privileged culture, but because it can
be torn, it can be modified.

"The Turn of the Screw has been to critics a chameleon text, taking on a coloring that lets it blend in with
almost any way of reading it. Depending on who is reading it, the story can be a gothic tale in the tradition of
Poe, a romantic tale in the tradition of Hawthorne, or a realistic tale in the tradition of Howells. It can be a
Freudian tale of sexual repression, an allegory of good and evil, a detective story about murder and deception,
a call for better treatment of children, or a reflection of hidden truths about its author. It can demonstrate its
author's knowledge of scientific research on ghosts, his rejection of that knowledge, his accord with the social
structures of his time or his rejection of those structures. It can be read as a Marxist statement, a feminist
statement, or a homosexual statement."
Adapted from: BEIDLER, Peter G. About This Volume. In: JAMES, Henry. The Turn of the Crew. Ed. Peter G.
Beidler. Boston, MA: Bedford Books of St. Martin¿s Press, 1995, viii.
 
This feature present in Henry James' book demonstrates that:
Modernist literature is just a continuation of the issues raised by the realist perception of the late 19th
century.
The discussion of the main themes being addressed at the time of a novel's publication was only
possible through its narrative.
Realism is one of the main aesthetic movements of the period and the only one capable of discussing
its transformations.
 The aesthetic complexity of modern narrative reflects the transformations from the turn of the 19th to
the 20th century.
The author was interested in writing a narrative that involved all the themes present in his time.
Respondido em 30/10/2022 01:39:31
 
 
Explicação:
Henry James' book brings together, like few others, not only a great technical mastery of the main aesthetic and
narrative resources, but also a series of relations with the main aspects of society, which was intensely
transformed at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. These changes and their complex boundaries are
reflected in modern literature, strongly represented by Henry James.
