1. In the second paragraph allusion is used when he stated "a fair bird-girl gilded in veils calling to me from the angry surface of some grey and threatening sea. This is a reference to greek sirens. Sirens are dangerous creatures who guided people to their island witb music but shipwreck them.
2. The narrator is basically trying to say let them keep doing you wrong, that it comes back on them so hard that it kills them.
3. The narrator is sognificant for comparing himself to Booker T. Washingon because he did not want to do the Battle Royal at the event because it would take away from his speech. He felt he needed to impress the white man much like Booker T. Washington did back in his time.
4. The narrator have contradictory or mixed feelings because the blond man does not see him as a person but yet stills expects him to be a clown and act as if he has no feelings. Like just because the black man is a nobody it is ok to torture him.
5. This chapter shows the limits of assimialtion by proving the point that white men getting a joy out of black being tortured is a hard pill to swallow.
6. Because there was really no enthusiasm for the narrator, but for Trueblood because be impregnated his own brother
7. The quote foreshadows because the narrator is heading somewhere where he has never gone before and does not exoect anything to be normal about it.
8. The juxtaposition takes place as Mr. Morton is fantasized as to how Trueblood has not been punished by god yet, and how the Narrator looks at him as a disgrace to the black community.
9. Trueblood uses a somewhat justified or entiltled tone to discuss this issue. He basically seea no problem with what he dis amd provides back up of how the white community around him supported him. He also is naive to the fact and just blames it on the physical aspects of life.
10. The actual sexual relationship he has with his daughter is ironic. The more ironic part also is that they still have sex with each other more than the wife too. He is completely fine with it and its basically playing into the norms on how the whites viewed the blacks.
11. Truebloods wife called Aunt Cloe over to perforem aborions on her and the daughter. She did want people judging them because of some foolish sin and did not want to be looked at in that manner.
12. The white community loves to see him to continue to shed a bad light on the black community, and to continue to make blacks look stupid. While black people look at him in shame because of his actions amd him not seeimg any problems with it.
13. I think Mr. Norton gave Trueblood the $100 dollars because he felt bad for him. Maybe Mr. Morton thinks of they were not struggling trueblood would nit think or act the way he does. Also to show that he supports Trueblood but just not agree with him. Mr. Nortom wants to show he feels bad because he knows his ancestors played a crucial role in someone turning into someone like Trueblood
