Question 3 • ELA 11B-CR

Identify a feeling that Ginsberg conveys with his use of style, structure, and theme.

Answer
A
envy toward the shopping families and for their cars and homes
B
resentment toward the changes of the modern world
C
a sense that the speaker feels out of place in 1950s America
D
an acceptance that the speaker cannot change the modern world

Explanation

Ginsberg’s style, structure, and themes often set the speaker apart from mainstream American life. The speaker’s perspective and language suggest alienation from the conventional comforts and values of 1950s America, rather than envy of them or acceptance of being unable to change society. Therefore, the feeling conveyed is that the speaker feels out of place in 1950s America.
