Acknowledgement on three men In a boat

1 answer:

7 0

The novel was about a boat trip that the narrator took to thames river along with his friends. He goes on rambling about the trip and takes the time to digress or go off topic to tell anecdotes. What was really memorable about the book was the places visited which were described beautifully.

Apparently Jerome got the inspiration from one of his trip to the thames for his honeymoon in 1888, and his experiences provided him the subject material for the novel.

How do both Frederick Douglass(An American Slave) and Trevor Noah( Born a crime) use their books to appeal to similar audiences?

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Frederick Douglass and Trevor Noah used their personal memoirs to give an insight into how life was like for them to be alive, fighting for their freedom and securing their life. Their personal stories make it easy to relate to the very same people who were used to being discriminated against or subjugated.

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass was an African American man born into slavery. He was passed on from one master to another, during the course of which he also learned to read and write. Later on, he escaped and bought his own freedom, then became an abolitionist to help his fellow African-American people from the clutches of slavery. His book "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave" details his life of being a slave and how he escaped and became free.

Trevor Noah, a comedian is a mixed-race child, born of a black woman and a white man during the Apartheid in South Africa. The government had criminalized mixed-race births, thus making his birth a crime. So, his book "Born A Crime" gives a glimpse of what it was like for him and his mother to survive the system that is against them.

Both Frederick Douglass and Trevor Noah wrote about their life experiences during the very system that is against their existence. Their personal narration about the events and their struggles gave the readers an idea of how it was like to try to find safety and freedom in a land that works to diminish and destroy them. Their books make it easy for people with similar experiences to relate to and gave them encouragement in their struggles. Both books tell a story of survival, perseverance and the will to overcome the obstacles.

The hack driver summary...plzz

Answer:

The Hack Driver- Summary

The narrator of the story explains that after completing his graduation he started working with a famous law firm in the city. He was working as an assistant clerk there. He was not very happy with his job of serving summons because sometimes he had to face harsh situations while serving them. One day, he got the task of serving summons to Oliver Lutkins who was a key witness in some case. He lived in a small town named New Mullion.

The narrator was very excited to visit a small and beautiful town but his excitement ended by the dull appearance of the town. He saw a hack driver standing at the platform who was very cheerful and nice. He went up to him and enquired about Oliver Lutkins as he was new to the town and wanted to find him. The driver told him that Oliver was a nasty man who owed debt to many people. He also cunningly extracted information from the lawyer that he needed Lutkins for some court case.

A deal was cracked between both- he decided to hire Bill’s hack and go on a search for Lutkins. Bill somehow traps the lawyer in his story and they visit different places in search of Lutkins. He always asks the lawyer stay behind. They go to Fritz’s to catch Lutkins while playing poker. But he tells them that he has gone to Gustaff for a shave. At Gustaff’s they weren’t able to meet him and were told that someone saw him at the pool room. Here also somebody said that he left the poolroom after buying cigarettes.

Bill described Lutkins as a cunning man and guessed that he must have gone to gray’s for a shave. In the afternoon, Bill offered him to buy lunch from his wife as it would be less costly than at the restaurant. They had lunch at wade’s hill which was a very beautiful place. By that time the clerk was totally impressed by Bill’s nice and cheery nature. He had even started comparing village people to city people. Later on, they went to search for Lutkins at his mother’s house on the basis of information derived from one of his friends.

There the lady was horrible and they hurriedly left the place as she was about to attack them with a hot iron rod. At last, the lawyer had to leave without serving summons to Lutkins. Next day he was scolded badly by his chief and was again sent to New Mullion with a companion who knew Lutkins. Upon reaching the station, the clerk happily pointed out that Bill was such a helpful person to him search Lutkins.

At this time, the truth was revealed by his companion that the hack driver was none other than Lutkins himself. The clerk felt so bad and ashamed of how he had been fooled by a villager.

Which lines in these excerpts from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are examples of free indirect speech?

Ahat [919]

Which lines in these excerpts from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are examples of free indirect speech?

1. Within a short walk of Longbourn lived a family with whom the Bennets were particularly intimate. Sir William Lucas had been formerly in trade in Meryton, where he had made a tolerable fortune, and risen to the honour of knighthood by an address to the king during his mayoralty. The distinction had perhaps been felt too strongly. It had given him a disgust to his business, and to his residence in a small market town; and, in quitting them both, he had removed with his family to a house about a mile from Meryton, denominated from that period Lucas Lodge, where he could think with pleasure of his own importance, and, unshackled by business, occupy himself solely in being civil to all the world. For, though elated by his rank, it did not render him supercilious; on the contrary, he was all attention to everybody. By nature inoffensive, friendly, and obliging, his presentation at St. James's had made him courteous.

2. He was quite young, wonderfully handsome, extremely agreeable, and, to crown the whole, he meant to be at the next assembly with a large party. Nothing could be more delightful! To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively hopes of Mr. Bingley's heart were entertained. "If I can but see one of my daughters happily settled at Netherfield," said Mrs. Bennet to her husband, "and all the others equally well married, I shall have nothing to wish for."

Answer:
