In the autobiographical selections "Hair" and "It Can't Be Helped," the authors describe how racial prejudice affected their early lives. Identify the key event described in each of the selections. Then explain how each author responded to the event at the time it happened and how he or she viewed the same event later in life.
If all you do is post your entire assignment, with no evidence of thinking on your part, nothing will happen since no one here will do your work for you.
But if you are specific about what you don't understand about the assignment or exactly what help you need, someone might be able to assist you. Ask specific questions!
Ca you at least tell us what the question is asking for? What key event are they taking about? And in the story's don't really tell us what there response was after that important event, so what do we do?
What i'm trying to say is can you please explain the question?!?!
To identify the key event described in each selection, we need to analyze the autobiographical selections "Hair" and "It Can't Be Helped." You can find these selections and read them thoroughly.
Once you have read the selections, you should be able to identify the key events described in each. Look for specific incidents or moments where racial prejudice influenced the authors' early lives. Take note of any experiences or encounters that stand out.
After you have identified the key events, you can proceed with understanding how each author responded to the event at the time and how their perspective changed later in life. To do this, carefully read the authors' descriptions of their reactions, emotions, and thoughts during and after these events.
Look for any shifts in their opinions or reflections as they grew older and gained more life experiences. Note how their initial response may have been influenced by their age, maturity, or understanding of the world around them. It's important to pay attention to any changes in their perspectives that occurred as they developed and gained a broader understanding of racial prejudice.
By thoroughly analyzing the texts and examining the authors' responses both at the time of the events and later in life, you should be able to identify and explain how each author was affected by the key events and how their perspectives evolved over time.
