Read the excerpt from "madam and the rent man" by langston hughes. i said, listen, before i'd pay i'd go to hades and rot away! what word best describes the poet's attitude in this stanza?

Anger.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes's poem "Madam and the Rent Man" is an exchange between the rent collector and the tenant, Madam who refuses to pay for the services she hadn't received. This is a representation of how things remain unsolved, for the parties involved weren't able to see eye to eye.

With the use of the word "listen", the speaker is trying to get the attention of the other people. Then, she also mentions she'd rather "go to Hades and rot away", than pay, ending with an exclamation mark, obviously signifying the emphasis on the emotional stance of the speaker. This is also a representation of the normal situation of the blacks and the whites in their inability to solve their problems, especially with the whites refusing to listen to the blacks. Hughes uses this poem to show the real life situation, where the person complaining is talking sense, but it doesn't reach the right person for the problems to be solved.

answer: cannibalism, the capac raymi, capacocha, the eight day feast, the combing of the hair

explanation:

the incas have many rituals, cannibalism was always a very ritual thing, which was normally tied to sacrifices, warfare, death, and regeneration.

  the capac raymi was one of the most important ceremonies. it occurred around the summer solstice and was when they worshiped their sun god, also known as inti.

  the capacocho was another one of their most important ceremonies. it was when many children where selected to start their training, and these children where destined to become sacrificial blessings to their sun god, inti. being chosen for this ritual was a blessing.

  the eight day feast was a feast that lasted 8 days and, each day, the day began with a chanting at dawn. a follow up song at noon. which ended with complete silence at the end of the day. on this day, inca royalty was always dressed in silver and gold laced clothing.

  the combing of the hair was the most important ritual to young girls. this ritual was known as the coming of age ceremony, but only the most beautiful girls where chosen. in this ceremony, the girls chose their new name and where chosen as either brides, or princesses of rulers.
