What is the purpose of the dream at the end of the story "Battle Royal" by Ralph Ellison?

s is the
first chapter of The . It tells the story of an African American teenager who
is pitted against other young men in a blind battle royal for the amusement of white men, who
then presented him with a scholarship to a black college. The narrator then gives the
valedictorians speech to the group and repeats the phrase social responsibility, which the men
love to hear.

The dream at the end of the story is a commentary on Booker T.
Washingtons idea that social responsibility, rather than social equality, should be the goal of
African Americans in the United States. The narrator, though he is chasing the American dream,
understands that pushing social responsibility will ultimately be a fool's errand. He will never
be accepted, and he will always be asked to fight for what he hasas he does in the battle
royal for the white men that act as benevolent benefactors. Ellison is making a point at the end
of the story,...

Why is there no hope that the Proles will ever revolt and overthrow the Party?

The proles
are the commoners in the novel , and they are completely subjugated
underneath the rule of the Party. The rule of the party is pervasive, and this total control
keeps them from revolting. First of all, they have kept them impoverished to the point where
they can do nothing but take care of their daily needs. This near economic enslavement prevents
them from rising to the point where they can even think about the political situation and what
they could do about it. Beyond that, the Thought Police and other ministries are so deeply
ingrained into the society and have infiltrated even the proletariat citizens (as evidenced by
the surreptitious shop in which the main characters typically rendezvous) that it is impossible
to escape their control and monitoring. These two factors effectively prevent the proletariat
class from uprising.

Why did the narrator name the story "Araby" specifically?

The narrator
is an idealistic young boy who conflates his crush on Mangan's sister with religious and/or epic
importance. He plans his day around getting glimpses and opportunities to see Mangan's sister.
He imagines that his daily routines are actually filled with more importance as he changes those
routines into quests he performs for Mangan's sister. 

These noises converged in a single sensation of life for me: I imagined that I bore my
chalice safely through a throng of foes. Her name sprang to my lips at moments in strange
prayers and praises which I myself did not understand. 

When Mangan's sister asks him about the bazaar, , the narrator sees this a a connection
with her, even a sign she is trying to indicate to him. He determines to go to Araby to buy her
a souvenir, but in his mind it is more like a holy grail. For the narrator, "Araby"
with its reference to Arab culture and the Middle East, represented something exotic: a great
destination for someone on a quest for the girl he has feelings for.

Upon
arriving at Araby, the narrator is disenchanted by the nonchalant, profit-interested workers.
And it is at this moment that he has an epiphany that Araby is not as exotic as he'd thought,
that Mangan's sister probably had not given him a second thought, and that his quest is not
nearly as epic as it had been in his mind. The story is called "Araby" because it at
first represented an exotic destination of a quest and then, following the epiphany, it was the
site of the narrator's disenchantment. 

What theme does Lucille Clifton present in her poem "Miss Rosie?"

The time and
circumstance are volatile in nature. The change of fortune and the old age shouldn't deprive one
of his or her deserved regard and honor. Miss Rosie or Georgia Rose, as she was called when she
was young, must have been popular and admired in the prime of her life. But, in her old age,
shes turned into a wretched and neglected old woman.

The three-worded clause
I stand up, repeated twice, encapsulates the main theme of the poem. Its about paying respect
and homage to a lady who has shrunk into an insignificant and ugly-looking old woman.

By repeating I stand up, the poet honors an old woman whos a representative of every
old person who once really mattered, and so was respected and cared for in his or her best
years.

With age, Miss Rosie has grown infirm and physically unattractive. She
is of no worth to the society and the people around her. To them, shes just a "wet brown
bag, and one whos wrapped up like garbage.

In her unique manner, the
poetcondemns the neglect of old people, who ought to be looked after and cared for, by
standing up for them through their
"destruction."

What was the purpose of the rooster that marched with Napoleon in Animal Farm?

Aftertakes
full control of the farm through the execution of "traitors," he starts to act in a
paranoid manner. He remains indoors most of the day, and eats separately from the other pigs. He
also does not travel without his trained dogs and a black rooster that crows to announce his
presence. This continues into the creation of "Spontaneous Demonstrations" which are
Napoleon's method of distracting the animals from their hunger and the continuing decline of the
farm:

...what with the songs, the processions, 's lists of
figures, the thunder of the gun, the crowing of the cockerel, and the fluttering of the flag,
they were able to forget that their bellies were empty, at least part of the time.
(,
, msxnet.org)

The black rooster
announces Napoleon's presence, allowing the other animals to develop an unconscious fear of the
crowing; they know that Napoleon is constantly on the lookout for "traitors." The
black rooster is mentioned as being a "kind of trumpeter," helping to create the sense
of ceremony in the parades. He is analogous to the Grand Marshal of a parade, keeping the time
and leading without actually being in power. It is also possible that Napoleon keeps the black
rooster at the head of the parades in order to provide a distraction for possible
assassinations, since Napoleon is paranoid.

What are the organs of government (legislative, executive, and judiciary)?

The three
main branches/organs of government are the legislative, executive, and judiciary. Very simply,
the legislative branch makes the laws, the executive enforces the laws, and the judiciary
interprets the laws. Many countries today practice some form of this system of government,
particularly the United States. Here, the three organs exist as a system of checks and balances
to ensure that no one branch exceeds the others in power.

In the United
States' legislative branch, each state is represented by two senators. The number of
representatives each state receives, however, is based on population. For example, based on the
latest href="https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_House_of_Representatives">2010
census, California has fifty-three representatives, more than any other state in the
union. Meanwhile, Vermont, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Delaware, and Alaska
each have one representative. In all, there are 435 members in the House of Representatives.
There are also six non-voting House of Representative members: the resident commissioner of
Washington, D.C., and the delegates of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam,
and the Northern Mariana Islands.

The six non-voting members may not vote in
the full House; they can, however, vote in committees of which they are a member.

In the executive branch, the president is the head of state and the commander-in-chief
of the Armed Forces. The executive branch consists of the president, vice-president, the
president's Cabinet, fifteen
executive departments, and href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/federal-agencies-commissions/">hundreds
of federal agencies. The president and vice-president are elected through the electoral college
system. In this system, each state elects its own electors. These electors must legally vote for
the presidential and vice-presidential candidate who receives the most votes in their states.
The executive branch may also make treaties with other countries, but the treaties must be
ratified by the Senate.

The judiciary branch is established by Article III of
the Constitution. Members of the federal judiciary branch are nominated by the president and
confirmed by the Senate. There are currently nine Supreme Court justices. Additionally, there
are thirteen Courts of Appeals and ninety-four federal district courts. href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/the-judicial-branch/">Federal
justices can only be removed through a process: first, impeachment by the House of
Representatives and then, conviction by the Senate. Federal justices serve for life. For more,
please refer to the link provided.

There are variants of this system of
government in other countries. In href="http://www.ireland-information.com/reference/congov.htm">Ireland,
for example, the Taoiseach (or Prime Minister) is the head of government. He or she is nominated
by the D¡il ‰ireann (House of Representatives) and then appointed by the president. The
president of Ireland must appoint whomever the Dail nominates.

In a country
such as href="https://globaledge.msu.edu/countries/saudi-arabia/government">Saudi
Arabia, the three organs (executive, legislative, and judiciary) are dominated by
members of the ruling royal family. Members of the judiciary and legislature are appointed by
the king. They serve at the monarch's pleasure and can be dismissed at any time.

Meanwhile, in href="https://english.ey.gov.tw/index.aspx">Taiwan, there are actually
five branches of government: the executive, legislative, judiciary, examination, and control.
The president is the head of state and commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. He has sole power
to appoint and remove civil and military officials, arbitrate disagreements between the
branches, and, surprisingly, the right to dissolve the legislative branch if the latter chooses
to dismiss the premier. The premier is actually the head of the executive branch. For more,
please refer to the link above.
