The Tropics in New York
Claude McKay

Bananas ripe and green, and ginger-root,
Cocoa in pods and alligator pears,°
And tangerines and mangoes and grape fruit,
Fit for the highest prize at parish fairs,

5 Set in the window, bringing memories
Of fruit-trees laden by low-singing rills,
And dewy dawns, and mystical blue skies
In benediction° over nun-like hills.

My eyes grew dim, and I could no more gaze;
10 A wave of longing through my body swept,
And, hungry for the old, familiar ways,
I turned aside and bowed my head and wept.


--------------------------
2. alligator pears: avocados, tropical fruits. All the foods mentioned in this stanza grow in Jamaica, the Caribbean island where the poet was born.
6. rills: streams; brooks.
8. benediction: blessing.


The title of the poem, “The Tropics in New York,” is ironic because —
a.
it is a very unusual title for a poem
b.
sometimes it gets extremely hot in New York
c.
we don’t expect to find the tropics in New York
d.
the weather is a lot nicer in the tropics

Answers

Answer:

Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.


I was born in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough, and about twelve miles from Easton, in Talbot county, Maryland. I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant.



Which central idea is developed and supported by this passage?


A) Hypocrisy in religion is used to justify slavery.


B) Justice for enslaved people is impossible.


C) An enslaved person is treated no better than an animal.


D) Keeping people enslaved makes slaveholders inhuman.

Answers

Answer:

C) An enslaved person is treated no better than an animal.

Explanation:

The given excerpt tells us that an enslaved person was treated no better than an animal. People didn't know basic things about themselves, such as their own age. Slaveholders wanted their slaves to remain as ignorant as possible, just like animals, because that made it easier to control them.

Answer:

1. c.sandy is a great singer

2.b.Tommy forgot to make sure the gate was closed.

3.a.Joy's mother forgot to pick her up.

4. c.I was too full to eat supper

Explanation:

1. This passage is describing Sandy as a great singer and why she is a great singer. She sings in a church choir and she sings solo every week. Everyone thinks that she is a great singer and that she was the voice of an angel. They are describing her as someone who is successful and they are believing that she will be famous one day.

C) is the correct answer and other answers are not correct because they are considered as details that are leading her to the reputation of a great singer.

2. This passage is telling the readers that Tommy forgot to do an important thing which is closing the gate because of his dog. It is the main idea of the passage because in it we can see that his mother told him a hundred times to close it but he forgot. The central idea of the text is that he forgot to close the gate and his dog escaped.

3. The main idea of this paragraph is that Joy's mother forgot to pick her up and because of that Joy sat on the beach at the baseball field waiting for her mother. Her mother is sorry that she forgot to pick her up and she told her that next time she will make her a note so she does not forget.

4. The main idea of this paragraph is that the person had eaten a huge sundae in an Ice Cream shop and because of that he was not able to eat his favorite meal that his mother had cooked. He tried but he was already full and that is why he could not do it. Other answers are incorrect because they are not mentioned in the passage.

(a) What type of poem is "Elliptical"? Explain. (b) In what ways does the choice of form affect how the reader experiences the poem? (c) Rewrite the poem, adding line breaks that make sense to you. Compare with the original. What is lost and what is gained by the poet's choice of form?

"Elliptical" is a prose poem.

Compare and contrast:

The poet's choice of form has pros and cons. On the one hand, because none of the sentences in the poem are completed, the paragraph-like structure of the poem could make it easy for the reader to get lost or bored. However, this may still have been a valid artistic choice. After all, the poem is about the "elliptical" of excuses for racism, so maybe it makes sense to have the reader get tired, and associate that weariness with those excuses. In contrast, making the poem have lines and stanzas, rather than a paragraph structure, makes the reader more likely to try to interpret the individual significance of each line, rather than look at what the lines all mean together.
