Read the excerpt from black boy. “i’ll take that poker and hit you! ” i blurted at my father. he looked at my mother and laughed louder. “you told him to say that,” he said. “don’t say such things, richard,” my mother said. “you ought to be dead,” i said to the strange woman. the woman laughed and threw her arms about my father’s neck. i grew ashamed and wanted to leave. “how can you starve your children? ” my mother asked. “let richard stay with me,” my father said. “do you want to stay with your father, richard? ” my mother asked. “no,” i said. “you’ll get plenty to eat,” he said. “i’m hungry now,” i told him. “but i won’t stay with you.” what does the excerpt convey about wright’s personality as a child? he was stubborn and proud. he was afraid of his father. he was shy and deferential. he was easily influenced by others.

the answer would be: it explains that at least one son must join the church

the expression ''as the tithe of his sons'' indicates how his father intended for at least one of his sons to serve the church. this phrase demonstrates that his father offered him as a last resort since none of his brothers chose to serve the church.

hope this answer you: )!

everyman: morality play

which phrase in this excerpt from the play everyman refers to god's judgment of people's souls after their death?

messenger: . .

ye think sin in the beginning full sweet,

which in( the end) causeth thy soul to weep,

when the body lieth in clay.

here shall you see how fellowship and jollity,

both strength, pleasure, and beauty,

will fade from thee as flower in may.

for ye shall hear, how our heavenly king

calleth everyman to a (general reckoning):

give audience, and hear what he doth say.

god: i perceive here in my majesty,

how that all the creatures be to me unkind,

living without dread in worldly prosperity:

of (ghostly sight) the people be so blind,

drowned in sin, they know me not for their god;

in worldly riches is all their mind,

they fear not( my righteousness), the sharp rod;

(my law that i shewed), when i for them die

hopefully this !
