Read the following excerpt from “I Stand Here Ironing" and answer the question.

I will never total it all now. I will never come in to say: She was a child seldom smiled at. Herfatherleft me before she was a year old. I worked her first six years when there was work, or I sent her home and to his relatives. There were years she had careshe hated. She was dark and thin and foreign‐looking in a world where the prestige went to blondness and curly hair and dimples, slow where glibness was prized. She was a child of anxious, not proud, love. We were poor and could not afford for her the soil of easy growth. I was a young mother, I was a distracted mother. There were the other children pushing up, demanding. Her younger sister was all that she was not. She did not like me to touch her. She kept too much in herself, her life was such she had to keep too much in herself. My wisdom came too late. She has much in her and probably nothing will come of it. She is a child of her age, of depression, of war, of fear.

In at least 150 words, discuss the unconscious symbol of whiteness that is examined in "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain." Where does it come from, and why does it have the potential to be so damaging?

*ill give brainiest and 60 points !
Read the excerpt then answer the question:

Excerpt from "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" by Langston Hughes

...And so the word white comes to be unconsciously a symbol of all virtues. It holds for the children beauty, morality, and money. The whisper of "I want to be white" runs silently through their minds. This young poet's home is, I believe, a fairly typical home of the colored middle class. One sees immediately how difficult it would be for an artist born in such a home to interest himself in interpreting the beauty of his own people. He is never taught to see that beauty. He is taught rather not to see it, or if he does, to be ashamed of it when it is not according to Caucasian patterns."

DIRECTIONS Read the paragraph below. Then use what you have learned about paragraph structure to answer the questions below.

Paragraph 9
Let’s set the stage. You are in your school’s drama club, but you are not an actor or an actress. Your job is to build the stage set for the school’s fall play. You have no experience? That’s fine. Your drama teacher will guide you and the other members of the club through each part of the process.
Your teacher has already designed the set and built a small model. Picture this model as a room with only three walls. If you were seated in the audience, you would see that the left wall has a window, the back wall has a door, and the right wall is solid. From this model, you will be able to begin planning. A good plan should take into account the time, supplies, tools, and people needed to complete the work.
Time is a critical element of any plan. Let’s say that it is the third week of September and that the play will be performed in the second week of November. That means you have seven weeks to plan and build the stage set. Their need reduces the amount of time you have to five weeks. Now, let’s say that the performers will need two weeks to rehearse on the actual set.
The next part of your plan involves figuring out what supplies you will need. You must make a list of the materials and tools necessary to build and decorate the set. For example, if the walls will be made out of large pieces of cardboard, you would add cardboard to your list, making sure to note the size of each wall. Similarly, if the door on the back wall opens, you would add a saw to your list. Then, you would add items to complete construction of the left and right walls. Finally, to complete your list, you would make note of any additional supplies and tools needed to decorate the set when it is built—paint, markers, stencils, paintbrushes, and dropcloths.

Write three transitional words found in the final paragraph.
