Despite being an important book in favor of abolitionism, Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Stowe is nowadays harshly
criticized. Choose the option which presents the reason why:
Thoreau's most famous essay, Civil Disobedience, was first published in May 1849 under the title Resistance to Civil

Do I contradict myself?
Very well the... I contradict myself;
(I am large... I contain multitudes)

Because it created divisions in the antislavery movement.
Because it increased the oppression of the government against slaves.
Because it caused the implementation of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.
Because it reinforced stereotypes associated to African Americans.
Data Resp.: 09/09/2022 16:03:30
 
Explicação:
Answer: Because it reinforced stereotypes associated to African Americans.
Feedback: Stowe's novel played a central role in the fight against slavery. However, the presence of figures such
as the mammy and the uncle tom helped reinforce negative stereotypes against black people.

artistic sensibility.
religious expression.
literary style.
economic activities.
individual beliefs.
Data Resp.: 09/09/2022 16:03:51
 
Explicação:
Answer: individual beliefs.
Feedback: In Thoreau's point of view, the intentions of the American government (enacted through the obligation
to pay taxes) go against his individual beliefs and moral consciousness, since he refuses to financially support a
government which advances causes that he opposes (such as slavery and war).

ii. He is not claiming his gigantic "I" subjugates everyone else in the world
I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
(...)
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death

Choose the alternative(s) that correctly interpret(s) the verses above:
i. The poet disrupts the division between body and soul
ii. The poet unifies the spiritual with the physical
iii. His syntax is similar to the ones who wrote before him
"Based on a true story, Herman Melville's 1855 novella Benito Cereno follows American Captain Amasa Delano¿s
discovery of a ship he first believes to be in distress before realizing, over the course of the same day, that a slave
revolt has taken place on it."
i. is false and ii. is correct
i. and ii. are false
i. is correct and ii. is false
i. and ii. are correct and ii. correctly justifies i.
i. and ii. are correct and ii. does not correctly justify i.
Data Resp.: 09/09/2022 16:04:01
 
Explicação:
Answer: i. and ii. are correct and ii. correctly justifies i.
Feedback: The "I" and the "you" in Whitman's poems are neither, according to Harold Bloom, separate nor
unified. Therefore, the power imbalances that make relationships eternal conversations between one another
should be considered a major feature of human existence. Whitman invites the readers to inquire about the real
limits of the "self". The expansive "I" in Whitman's verses then are not written egoically, nor is this "I" exerting his
power on everyone else. Rather, it is inviting the reader to embark on a journey of (self-) awareness.

iii. is correct
i. and ii. are correct
i. and iii. are correct
i., ii. and iii. are correct
Only i. is correct
Data Resp.: 09/09/2022 16:04:25
 
Explicação:
Answer: i. and ii. are correct
Feedback: The voice of the poet disrupts the divisions between body and soul, unifying the physical with the
spiritual. To pay attention to the "spear of summer grass", the part of a whole, and to acknowledge it in its own
value, is to take a step into understanding oneself as a common part of a bigger picture, the lawn. His large and
ongoing syntax is quite distinct from those who wrote before him. Therefore, only i. and ii. are correct.

Which points of view are present in Melville's novella?
Edgar Allan Poe, a North- American writer associated with Dark Romanticism, was a pioneer in many ways. He, for
instance, coined the term "tales of ratiocination". Which stories did Poe name as "tales of ratiocination"?
"As he watched her hand, polished as a bit of old ivory, with its slender pink nails, and the sapphire bracelet slipping
over her wrist, he was struck with the irony of suggesting to her such a life as his cousin Gertrude Farish had chosen.
She was so evidently the victim of the civilization which had produced her, that the links of her bracelet seemed like
manacles chaining her to her fate."
 
Adapted from: WHARTON, Edith. The House of Mirth. Edited by Martha Banta. New York: Oxford University Press,
1994, p. 9.
 
Based on the text, assess the following statements:
I. Women in society are bound by conventions established and legitimized by men.
II. The love relationships described by Edith Wharton reveal her idealization of feelings.
III. In the encounter between the characters Lawrence Seldenand Lily Bart, we observe the conflict between the
New York¿s high society and the yearning to be part of it.
 
The correct statements are:
Babo's and Atufal's.
Alexandro Aranda's
Spanish sailors's.
Delano's and Cereno's.
Delano's crew's.
Data Resp.: 09/09/2022 16:04:43
 
Explicação:
The story is told through the point of view of the captains Delano, American, and Cereno, Spanish. Alexandro
Aranda, the owner and master, was killed by the rebels; Babo and Atufal are the negro leaders, with no voice in
the narrative, as well as the Spanish sailors. Delano¿s crew was involved in the action but did not tell the story
themselves. 
 
 
 
 
8.
Those in which scientific verisimilitude is achieved by details.
Those in which descriptive language and chilling visuals are present.
Those in which the main character is also the first-person narrator.
Those in which the criminal tortures the victim psychologically.
Those in which a character solves a mystery by analyzing facts.
Data Resp.: 09/09/2022 16:04:56
 
Explicação:
Tales of ratiocination are those in which a character, an amateur detective, solves a mystery analyzing facts and
employing the powers of deduction and imagination. Scientific verisimilitude is present in tales which gave
inspiration to writers of science fiction. Stories in which criminals torture the victims are usually gothic and horror
tales. Short stories in which the main character is a first-person narrator, and those in which descriptive language
and chilling visuals are used are marks of Edgar Allan Poe's writing.

I and II.
I and III.
In Chapter 31 of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain builds a revealing scene of the contradictions carried by
the main character of his novel, which, in a way, reflects the conflicts inherent to the social, political and cultural
transformations that the country was undergoing in that period. Huck writes a letter to Miss Watson due to the guilt
he felt for helping Jim escape, but he then tears it up when he thinks about his friend.
 
The scene in question is considered one of the most emblematic of North American literature, as it exposes:
II and III.
I, only.
III, only.
Data Resp.: 09/09/2022 16:05:10
 
Explicação:
In Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth, the character of Lily Bart, a 29-year-old single woman, meets the lawyer,
Lawrence Selden. The quote summarizes two of the central themes of Wharton's work, which are the discussion of
the role of women in society and the conflicts of female characters in face of the social conventions of New York's
elite. Therefore, options I and III are correct.
 
 
 
 
10.
The problems of an agrarian society that has difficulty in modernizing itself.
The facing of the economic problems that arise with the arrival of war.
The escape from reality that presents itself through the representation of literate culture.
The questioning of institutions that justify and sustain slavery and racism.
The religious guilt of a society that understands each individual¿s role in its development.
Data Resp.: 09/09/2022 16:05:29
 
Explicação:
Mark Twain, despite having been born and raised in the southern United States, refused to fight for slavery when
the Civil War came. The character Huckleberry Finn, in addition to being the representation of one of the socially
discredited layers, is also an effort to reflect on the moral and social conflicts in face of the issue of slavery and
freedom for the black population. The letter is a symbol of the privileged culture, but because it can be torn, it can
be modified.
