Read "We Wear the Mask," by Paul Laurence Dunbar, then answer the question that follows.
"We Wear the Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar
We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
_______________________________________________________
Explain why Dunbar would choose to use a symbol of a bleeding heart in his poem instead of using literal language to explain how he feels.
Okay so this is not the answer to this specific question, but I could not find these questions anywhere and people may need them so I will put them here cuz they relate to the same poems:
Answer:
What is a main theme of Dunbar's first stanza?
A: some people are forced to hide their suffering
What is a main theme of Crane's poem?
c: the universe is indifferent to humankind
How do the themes of both poems reflect the beliefs of naturalism?
c: both show humans' helplessness in the face of external forces

Dunbar would choose to use a symbol of a bleeding heart in his poetry instead of using literal language to explain how he feels because it expresses his feelings to a greater extent.
What is poetry?Poetry also called verse is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language − such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre − to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, a prosaic ostensible meaning. A poem is a literary composition, written by a poet, using this principle.
Poetry has a long and varied history, evolving differentially across the globe. It dates back at least to prehistoric times with hunting poetry in Africa and to panegyric and elegiac court poetry of the empires of the Nile, Niger, and Volta River valleys. Some of the earliest written poetry in Africa occurs among the Pyramid Texts written during the 25th century BCE. The earliest surviving Western Asian epic poetry, the Epic of Gilgamesh, was written in Sumerian.

Hi, you've asked an unclear/incomplete question. However, I provided a sample buffer statement in this case.
Explanation:
Remember, the buffer statement is meant to lighten the effects of the bad news, and then prepare the minds of the reader for the disappointing information to follow.
The buffer statement could read;
"Dear, Felicity, we thank you for taking the time to apply for an auto insurance policy claim. We sincerely regret that we are unable to pay your claim because a review of your records show that the policy period ended and the policy is no longer in force.
However, we can offer you an extension of the policy if you choose to add coverage for another year. We currently offer a low premium on all late renewals. We hope this offer will interest you."

Explanation:
The ending of THE GIVER may be interpreted in two very different ways. Perhaps Jonas is remembering his Christmas memory --- one of the most beautiful that The Giver transmitted to him --- as he and Gabriel are freezing to death, falling into a dreamlike coma in the snow. Or perhaps Jonas does hear music and, with his special vision, is able to perceive the warm house where people are waiting to greet him. In her acceptance speech for the Newbery Medal, Lois Lowry mentioned both possibilities but would not choose one as correct. Which side do you agree with? What evidence supports each interpretation?
Answer:
Following are the solution to this question:
Explanation:
Its optimistic part of me would like to believe Jonas has succeeded in bringing Sanchez to a new place, which views towards individual freedom and free-thinking are not as restrictive as we left in the community. It would like to think that Jonas' illumination is in welcoming homes, filled with people who are truly loving to bring it in and take care of them.
So, in those ways, it also appears possible whether Joel is dead and attempted to make Gabriel safe, contributing to the demise of Gabriel. If it was the case, then the warm light and music
listens will reveal the universe or a good afterlife of a certain sort.
But it doesn't matter. That pictures of light and warmth, of songs and happiness, tell everyone that Jonas or Gabriel was happier than they would have left.
It doesn't show you precisely just what is gone on. Yes, it's a
series, but another one. The very first book is the Giver, the other is The Gathering Blue, and I know the last book is tying together all the 1st, the second, because as I said that it was different. I think the fourth novel is the Giver, the 3rd is the Donator; the 3rd is The Courier," I don't understand it. Have a pleasure, there are many fantastic books!
Truthfully, I think we foresee a continuation from The Giver ending.
I assume that the initial text or novel proposal was so much shorter than that of the print, and the editor wanted to break a sequence to gain more profit. It was not enough. I hate sounding cynical, and after many years in the publishing industry, I know it is more necessary to bring revenue than to contribute to literary fiction.
It's the most appropriate explanation We ever have thought of with the end has been the deaths of Jonas and Gabriel. I also read Claire Lowry's other phrases, that she'll never end like this though,
Jonas' images of the winters or Christmas are meant to be very mature. Mostly on the opposite, the plane from one stage flies past.
I think she created a book that was very skillful to interpret and everybody could be supported with book instances, whenever, it gets to it straight away.

Before Montag meets Clarisse, his sixteen-year-old neighbor, he is little more than an automaton, a book-burning robot. He reports to work, copes with his suicidal wife, and walks through his television-obsessed world, but he hardly notices what he is doing. Clarisse shakes Montag out of his stupor, forces him to examine the world around him, and inspires him to take drastic and violent steps. She does all of this indirectly, however. Her key function in the novel—the function that sets all of these changes in motion—is to show Montag what it means to be a writer.
