3. text - to - text connection: how does appiahs claim in \the case for capitalizing the b in black\ relate to the ending of marjories narrative?

Explanation:

1. For the first question, one could analyze characters in the texts. For example, in Homegoing, characters' actions show how they impact their families and communities. A character's decision - making can either strengthen or disrupt family bonds and community structures. Textual evidence like a character's dialogue or actions can be cited to support this.
2. For the second question, look at how characters face obstacles in the texts. In The Case for Capitalizing the B in Black, ideas about empowerment despite limitations can be explored. Characters might find ways to assert their agency through small acts or by challenging the status - quo.
3. For the third question, examine Appiah's argument about the significance of capitalizing "Black" as a symbol of identity and pride. Then, compare it to the themes and events at the end of Marjorie's narrative. If Marjorie's narrative deals with identity or race, there may be connections in terms of how identity is presented or affirmed.

Answer:

There is no single - choice answer. Responses to the questions would involve writing paragraphs with textual evidence as described above for each question chosen. For example, for question 1: Characters in Homegoing such as Effia and Esi have a profound impact on their families. Effia's life in the Gold Coast leads to the establishment of a new family line, influencing the social and economic fabric of the community. Her choices in marriage and business dealings shape the future of her descendants. Citing specific passages where her actions are described would strengthen the response. Similar in - depth analysis can be done for the other questions.
