What is ironic about the following passage from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass? "In 1832, my master attended a Meth

odist camp-meeting held in the Bayside, Talbot County, and there experienced religion. I indulged a faint hope that his conversion would lead him to emancipate his slaves, and that, if he did not do this, it would, at any rate, make him more kind and humane. It neither made him to be humane to his slaves, nor to emancipate them. If it had any effect on his character, it made him more cruel and hateful in all his ways; for I believe him to have been a much worse man after his conversion than before." A. Master Thomas decides to free his slaves after finding religion. B. Master Thomas is overpowered by his new-found religion. C. His master is crueler after finding religion than he was before. D. His master finds religion when Douglass believed he didn't have a soul.

The correct option is C.
Douglass considered his master to be a cruel man. There was a time his master went for a christian camp meeting and during the meeting he gave his life to Christ. Douglass was hoping that this religious transformation will make his master to be less cruel toward his slaves, but he find out that this was not the case, instead, the master became more cruel.
 This is an irony, because Douglass actually experienced the opposite of his expectation.<span />

What is the message conveyed in the song lyrics the crown?​
bija089 [108]

Answer:

The message is that everyone, both black and white has made some impart in life and thus wears a crown and was worthy of recognition.

Explanation:

In "The Crown," by Gary Byrd and Stevie Wonder, the history of humanity was traced to ancient Egypt and the Kings that ruled such as King Tut. These people made wonderful achievements in science and astronomy and how also built the pyramids. The song also talked about the origin of its writer. He came from a race that fought for their freedom and suffered in the hands of groups like the Ku Klux Klan. That is the black race.

He recognized the contribution of the black race to life. They first arrived the shores of America some 2,000 years before Columbus. Summarily, the song recognizes that we all have contributed to life in one way or the other, and as such, we all wear the crown.
