The correct choice is "E. Mysterious" Have an excellent day!!!1
In the conclusion of "Notes of a Native Son," Baldwin asserts that one must choose between hatred and acceptance.
Following his father's death, Baldwin experienced an epiphany: he finally grasped the significance behind his father's long-held beliefs. He concludes that harboring bitterness and choosing to hate is unwise: "But I recognized this bitterness was folly, as my father would have remarked. It was crucial to cling to what truly mattered."
He goes on to highlight two mindsets a person can adopt: total acceptance or rejection. Total acceptance equates to conformity, normalizing injustice and leading a life where it seems that change is impossible. Conversely, non-acceptance means actively resisting and not taking injustice for granted.
However, this struggle must be free from hatred, as hatred also harms the hater. Baldwin states, "It is now my responsibility to keep my heart free from hatred and despair." No one else could make that choice for him. Regardless of how contradictory these ideas may seem, he opted for acceptance without hatred.
As stated in the Bible, Eve's transgression involved consuming the forbidden fruit due to the serpent's persuasion. If she had showcased selflessness, the serpent's argument claiming she would gain God-like attributes by eating the fruit would have failed. Additionally, within the context of the narrative, there were no standards for measuring wealth since Adam and Eve were the only beings on earth, dismissing the first option. Similarly, with no one else to judge her actions, it's impossible to definitively conclude whether Eve was judgmental. Her act of repentance suggests she possessed spiritual qualities. Hence, the most fitting answer is that she was self-sacrificing.
The accurate responses are:
- The aunt anticipates that the boy will accept her reasoning, but he does not.
He continues to inquire about the sheep, questioning where they are going and why the other field is preferable.
-The aunt thinks the boy will show interest in the cows, yet he does not.
She tries to divert his attention toward the cows, but his focus remains on the sheep.
