Match each quotation from "The People Could Fly" with the correct historical fact on the right. They say that the children of th

UNO [17]

Answer:

They say that the children of the ones who could not fly told their children. - Enslaved African Americans passed down their heritage through stories.

They couldn't take their wings across the water on the slave ships. - Enslaved people were crowded onto ships and sent overseas.

Sarah couldn't stand up straight any longer. She was too weak. - Enslaved workers were forced to work all day in cotton fields.

Say they flew away to Free-dom, - Many enslaved people ran away from plantations and fled north to freedom.

Explanation:

Virginia Hamilton's "The People Could Fly" is a collection of African folktales that enslaved Africans hold and pass it to their children. These African folktales include tales of supernatural acts, fairy tales, animal tales, etc.

The correct quotation along with the corresponding historical facts are as follows-

1. They say that the children of the ones who could not fly told their children. - Enslaved African Americans passed down their heritage through stories.

Through the passing of the stories by those unable to "fly away", stories became the means of passing down their heritage to the future younger generations.

2. They couldn't take their wings across the water on the slave ships. - Enslaved people were crowded onto ships and sent overseas.

The image of the people unable to use their wings across the water shows the historical event where slaves were brought by ships and then sent overseas, far from their homes.

3. Sarah couldn't stand up straight any longer. She was too weak. - Enslaved workers were forced to work all day in cotton fields.

The picture of Sarah unable to stand up straight shows how the slaves were made to work till they physically can no longer stand straight and have become extremely weak.

4. Say they flew away to Free-dom, - Many enslaved people ran away from plantations and fled north to freedom.

The image of flying to "freedom" shows the flight of many slaves escaping from their masters, from the plantations to the North where slaves were free.
