Answer:
C. The writer invokes the tale of Sodom and Gomorrah to draw a parallel to present-day New Orleans.
Explanation:
An allusion is a literary device that refers to something indirectly without explicitly naming it, typically using concepts familiar to a broader audience. This is why the author relates his conception of New Orleans to the biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. He references the well-known biblical narrative of these cities inhabited by immoral individuals, whose actions led to their destruction by divine punishment due to their extreme misconduct.
Through alluding to these biblical locations and narratives, the author seeks to convey that all the worst aspects of human behavior are prominently manifested in New Orleans, even now, as he continues to point out the connection to this day.
The themes found in Antigone include:
civil disobedience
wrath of the gods
supreme authority of fate
morality in contrast with civil law
prioritizing family loyalty over loyalty to the state
A significant underlying idea in "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" targets the Vietnam War and the resulting deaths. Goines employs emotional irony and satire to criticize the US Government, particularly mocking the draft system, portraying it as a farce. In contrast, "Attack the Water" reveals the struggles endured by Vietnamese people and Japanese-Americans during the era of Japanese internment camps. Both Goines and Mirikitani denounce war and seek to encourage readers to reflect critically. While Goines uses humor and ridicule to highlight human folly and urge change, Mirikitani emphasizes the harsh realities and suffering caused by war.
The book explores themes of morality and the experiences of womanhood. Cassy’s act of infanticide arises not from desire but from a lack of options. As a slave, she faced the harsh reality of being unable to care for her child. Nevertheless, her choice to take the baby's life illustrates a form of 'moral weakness.'
