Astudent makes an observation about hamlet.
the focus on succession to the throne in hamlet would have been interesting to an elizabethan audience because their own queen had no heir.
which lens is the student most likely viewing the text through?
historical
feminist
formalist
philosophical

A) historical is the correct answer

A). Historical.

Explanation:

Lenses are demonstrated as the framework or perspective through which a literary text is seen or interpreted. These varied lenses offer different perspectives to look at a particular text in different contexts and therefore, these are commonly employed by authors to analyze and reveal the underlying layered meanings of a text.

In the given observation, the student employs 'historical lens' that implies the reading and analyzing a text in a historical framework which is clearly reflected by the significant historical era(Elizabethan) and the preferences('focus on succession to the throne') of the 'audience' when 'Hamlet' was written. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

the answer is:  

he is voicing feelings shared by all humans regardless of race.

in paul laurence dunbar's poem "we wear the mask," he replicates the words mask and we to emphasize how people in general -not just black americans- hide their true feelings. he suggests the masks cover people's faces and eyes, which are the main parts that display their emotions. he also thinks people's pain conceal behind those masks, so that they cannot see reality and nobody is able to see one another's sorrow.

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
