Answer:
He is a stone mason.
Explanation:
In the short story, "The Cask of Amontillado," the main character Montresor is a mason because he uses bricks and mortar to wall up his enemy alive. Montresor's victim, Fortunato, is a Mason because he identifies himself by gesture and word as member of the Brotherhood of Freemasons:
"He. . .threw the bottle upward with a gesticulation I did not understand.
I looked at him in surprise. He repeated the movement -- a grotesque one.
"You do not comprehend?" he said.
"Not I," I replied.
"Then you are not of the brotherhood."
Montresor, then, pulls out a bricklayer's trowel from under his cloak as proof that he is in fact a "mason."
Have a lovely rest of your day! :)
This question is about "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass"
Answer:
a. Learning to read is as important as freedom
Explanation:
Douglass believed that learning to read and write was as important as freedom, because knowing how to read and write promoted freedom through knowledge. When he was a slave he was forbidden to learn to read and write because one of his masters informed him that it was dangerous to teach a slave this. Douglass soon understood why. he saw that if a slave knew and wrote he would get enough knowledge to understand that his servile condition was unfair and incorrect, he would also learn the guidelines necessary to free himself and his fellowmen from this oppressive system.
<span>The correct answer should be something like definition or denotation. The definition is our understanding of the word at its most basic level, stripped of implicit meanings that we create on our own. Connotative meaning would come when all of our understanding of the world and all of our prejudices are combined in order to create a more complex meaning unique to us.</span>
