How does the last stanza reinforce the speaker's cynicism? check the three boxes that apply. the speaker evokes religious imagery to show the extent of the suffering. the final exclamation point adds emphasis to the repeated message. the speaker reveals that the world doesn't listen to his pleas. the repetition of "we wear the mask" suggests that nothing will change?

Answers

In the last stanza, the speaker's cynicism is reinforced by evoking religious imagery to show the extent of the suffering, using a final exclamation point that adds emphasis to the repeated message and repeating the phrase "we wear the mask" that suggests that nothing will change.

In the poem "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the speaker refers to a group of people, including him, that tend to wear masks to hide their lies. Throughout the poem, the speaker refers to all the feelings hidden by these people, who also pretend to be happy when they are sad. Therefore, the mask, which hides lies, according to the speaker, it also hides feelings and sufferings.

In the last stanza, there is a contrast between what people feel and what they show or others perceive of them. At the same time, their suffering is emphasized by adding a final exclamation point and naming Christ ("We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries"); however, in the last line, the speaker shows that these people are determined to continue hiding their true feelings and sufferings ("We Wear The Mask!").

BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!! PLEASE HELPA Big Year
By Bob Kowalski

Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?

If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.

A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.

You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.

Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.

This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels.

You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.


Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding
Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.


Which of the two events described would be best for a beginning birder? Use details and information from the article to explain your choice.

Answers

The Great Backyard Bird Count. I think this would be the best option for a beginning birder because, in the article, it states that "the event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February." This means that it is a much less exclusive and intense bird sighting event. A beginning birder would probably not be experienced enough to properly invest and enjoy the experience
The first one because it gives you more information about what to do and where can you do it and son on.
 While the other one is bascily for people who already do bird sighting but didn't know there was a day for it. 

Hope I helped you lots!!! :3
