Light! give me light!" was the wordless cry of my soul ....

What type of affect was intended to occur with the use of term "boesman" towards colored South Africans?
This is from the book " Born a Crime " by Trevor Noah
Answer:
meant to intimidate colored South Africans
Explanation:
We can make this conclusion because the text explains further the reasons for the use of such a phrase. Trevor Noah stated,
"The most common colored slur was boesman...Because it called out their blackness, their primitiveness. The worst way to insult a colored person was to infer that they were in some way black."
Because colored South Africans were born from parents of two different races, (one parent is black the other white) the phrase was used to create an intimidating effect in the minds of those affected.

Jasmine saw a frog in the road. This does not use descriptive language, because the author does not specifically state anything about Jasmine, the frog, or even the road.
She suspiciously eyed the fluffy white poodle that was decorated with fluorescent pink bows. This does use descriptive language, because of how detailed the information is.
The sky was a dull and murky gray. Descriptive language was also used in the sentence, because the sky is so specifically described.
The boy watched his brother play on the swing set. Not specifically described, so no descriptive language is used.

Respond in a well-organized essay. In the Teachlet tutorial "The Birth of a National Literature that introduced this course, the narrator had this to say:
"Americans value national literature because they value the culture, morals, and philosophies upon which the United States was built."
In this course, you have read a variety of American literature that reflect our American values, morals, and philosophies. Choose one piece of literature that you think best reflects American culture, morals, and philosophy. In an essay of at least three paragraphs, explain your choice.
And...
Respond in a well-organized essay.
In this course, you have learned about American literature from the periods and literary movements. You have studied the works of different American authors from the following time periods, literary movements, and subgenres:
- Early American and Colonial literature
- American Romanticism
- Transcendentalism
- Regionalism
- Realism
In an essay, with at least three supporting paragraphs, choose three authors from different periods/movements/subgenres and discuss how their work(s) display the major elements of that period or movement or subgenre.
Answer: There are a lot of incredible authors who wrote during different periods of human history .Those men were creative and very good observers .They described the people living in different periods of time and it was the ways of men which they took as an inspiration for their work.
John Milton
From the Neoclassical (1660-1700)period John Milton was one of the authors who used men´s interest in religion to write his famous Paradise Lost.Social needs in those years were taken more seriously than individual needs and the road to salvation was something the society was very much attentive to. A fear of the evil led people to believe in God .In Paradise Lost Milton presents Satan as a fallen angel who wants to reover his place in Heaven and will fight God so as to do so.It is not the best way to reenter Paradise but it is all he knows how to.
Elizabethan Literature(1555-1610) has its gratest author in William Shakespeare. A humanist who cared most about men´s doings and the consequences of their performaces, he wrote sonnets and plays displaying the best and the worst characteristics of the human race.Ambition, love, greed are all part of his famous tragedies which still today help to understand the human soul.
The Renaissance (1450-1555)author Nicholas. Machiavelli showed more concern with the doings of those who had power .He recognized a clear division betwwen what was public and what was private and the oppressed mass and the oppressors.In his work The Prince he described the personality of a ruler and in some very stiric way he also gave ideas on how to overthrow a ruler.
No matter which movement in literature we pay attention to, we will be able to find authors who depict men and women in such a way that if the time the story was witten is not provided,we can still know the date of the creation of the characters.
