Heading: Breaking the Ice by Dave Barry
Speaker: The author of this article Dave Barry is a journalist for the New York Fawcett. It appears the Dave Barry seems to make his whole article a joke and make fun of boys liking girls. The bias of this article is that Dave Barry doesn’t take any of what the kid asked him seriously in so he is not going to answer honestly. (64)
Occasion: The reason that Dave Barry is writing this article is because a kid has asked him a question about how to ask out a girl. “I want to ask her out, but I’m afraid she will say no, and I will be the freak of the week. What should I do?” (51)
Audience: The Audience of this article appears to be adults even though it is asking a kids question. It is directed to adults …show more content…
Hughes is a revolutions revolt against the restraints he has being a black poet. (59)
Occasion: The occasion of this article is for the author to give hope to all the other black artists and intellectuals and to let them know that they can get through this for they no longer have to obey the rules that the white folks have put on them for those rules no longer exist. (54)
Audience: The audience of this article is all the black people in America mainly the intellectuals and artist to let them know that they can break this hold on being black and being an artist. The author targets this specific group of individuals because he himself is one and he wants them to know that he has done it so they can to. (62)
Purpose: The purpose of “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain” is to give a pep talk to all the Black people in the United States of America and to make them go against the restrictions that over time seem like nothing but are still wrong. The author goes in to how black people are constantly wanting to be white instead of being themselves. …show more content…
To how he has conjured this barrier and how he is all black pride all the way and that there is nothing that can’t be done. (64)
Tone: The tone of “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain” is very specific for it first starts off about how theses black people want to be white and that makes you sad that they don’t want to be themselves but then it turns into a speech about how we as a black community need to be real and to know who we are because we may be different but that’s not a bad thing. (74)
Assumptions: The author Langston Hughes has a particular bias because he is coming at a point of view of how he already conquered this barrier which is not bad because it shows how he got through it. However, there can be many other points of views such as the black people who know what they have to do but don’t want to do it, the blacks who have already started the journey and are in the middle of it, and the blacks who failed to conquer this challenge. There are many other opinions that are not seen here.
