Will mark as brainest!! help! Now that you have finished the readings in the Prose of the Harlem Renaissance lesson, you have
encountered Du Bois's description of the "double-consciousness" he says African Americans
experience and Johnson's description of the "dual personality" he says African Americans develop.
What does each term really mean? Think about your own life. Have you experienced a double-
consciousness in some area of your life or have you ever had to maintain two versions of yourself
because some person or some group wouldn't accept your real self?
For your post, first explain "double-consciousness" in your own words. Use an example from the
readings to help clarify your thoughts. Second, explain "dual personality" in your own words. Use
another example from the readings to help clarify your thoughts. Finally, share a time when you or
someone close to you experienced a double-consciousness or dual personality. Share the story. How
did this experience make you feel?

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
