Along with contributing to her positive portrayal of the black race, what does Hurston’s use of the Big John de Conquer legend in the beginning of chapter 18 imply?

Hi. although you did not present the paragraph to which the question refers, due to the historical context, we can consider that in addition to representing a positive portrait of the black race, popular tales served as a source of comfort for the black population of the south.

Explanation:

Big John de Conquer is a folkloric character, popular among the African American population during the times of slavery in the south. The legend presents a black hero who served as an inspiration to the slaves, as he represented someone they could identify with in a positive and admirable way. The presence of this hero and other legends adapted to black culture, gave hope and comfort to the slaves, in addition to showing them someone they could look up to.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
