Please.
The options are incomplete. Please provide the complete options for accurate assistance.
To determine which of the given options did NOT contribute to the Harlem Renaissance, we can analyze each option:
A. The Emancipation Proclamation: The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, declared the freedom of slaves in Confederate states during the American Civil War. While this event was significant in African American history, it did not directly contribute to the Harlem Renaissance, which was a cultural and intellectual movement that took place in the 1920s and 1930s.
B. By 1930, the population of African Americans in Harlem grew to over 200,000: This demographic change in Harlem played a crucial role in fostering the Harlem Renaissance. The influx of African Americans brought together a vibrant community that contributed to the cultural and artistic expressions of the time. Therefore, this option did contribute to the Harlem Renaissance.
C. F. Scott Fitzgerald: F. Scott Fitzgerald, a renowned American writer, is not typically associated with the Harlem Renaissance. He is more closely associated with the Jazz Age and the Lost Generation movement. Therefore, this option did NOT contribute to the Harlem Renaissance.
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is B. "By 1930, the population of African Americans in Harlem grew to over 200,000."
Moving on to the next question:
The mask in Paul Dunbar's poem "We Wear the Mask" represents how African Americans pretend to be happy. The poem's central theme is exploring the public mask African Americans wear to hide their true feelings and suffering, presenting themselves as happy and content, despite the discrimination and prejudice they face.
In the question regarding the speaker in "We Wear the Mask," the correct answer is A. Paul Dunbar. As the poet, he is the speaker expressing the thoughts and emotions in the poem.
The statement "All Harlem Renaissance writers wrote literature about suffering, frustration, and hopelessness" is False. While some of the literature produced during the Harlem Renaissance did explore themes of suffering and frustration due to the racial discrimination experienced by African Americans, it would be incorrect to generalize that all writers focused exclusively on these themes. Many Harlem Renaissance writers also celebrated African American culture, heritage, and resilience.
Moving to the poem "Sympathy" by Paul Dunbar, the caged bird's song is not a song of joy. The correct answer is False. The caged bird's song in the poem symbolizes the bird's longing for freedom and the speaker's own desire for liberation from racial oppression.
The title of Paul Dunbar's poem "Sympathy" relates to the theme of the speaker understanding how the trapped bird feels because he feels the same way. Option B is correct. The poem explores the speaker's empathy and connection to the caged bird, as both are metaphorically confined and seek freedom.
Finally, from the given lines in "Sympathy," the line that contains imagery using a simile is "And the river flows like a stream of glass." Option A is correct. This line uses a simile to describe the smooth, reflective quality of the river's flow, comparing it to glass.
