Harriet Tubman Conductor on the Railroad chapter 4~11 Summary

English
1 answer:
8090 [49]3 years ago
4 0

Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad is an interesting and well-written book that tells the story of an extraordinarily courageous and committed woman. Tubman continues to inspire those seeking dignity for all people in America. Petry's dramatization of Tubman's perseverance and sense of purpose in leading slaves to freedom shows how a motivated individual can bring about change.

Petry intends for Harriet Tubman to fill a void in an important part of United States history and asserts that "the majority of textbooks used in high schools do not give an adequate or accurate picture of the history of slavery in the United States." A completely adequate and accurate account of slavery would no doubt require many volumes, yet this biographical novel represents significant movement toward that ideal. It juxtaposes well-known historical information with details about Tubman's "underground" activities. This technique adds depth and relevance to the story of Tubman's achievements.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

This story is an important part of both Greek and Roman mythology because it is a story that connects the two cultures. I think that this story could be adapted for our current culture because it addressed issues that are still prominent in our society today. I would create a contemporary version of “Proserpine” featuring an alcoholic (Pluto) a young woman walking home from work at night (Proserpine) and an old lady who witnessed the kidnapping (Hecate).

What does it mean when you see the label Brit. in a word’s dictionary entry?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C. The word is used mainly in Great Britain, not in the United States.

Explanation:

<em>Brit and US</em> are geographical labels found in dictionary entries. They come in parentheses and are used to indicate where that word is mostly used. Thus, if the label Brit comes after a word, it means it occurs typically in British English - that may include other varieties, such as Australian English -, but not in American English. An example would be the informal word "bevvy", which refers to an alcoholic beverage. In a dictionary entry, we could find bevvy (Brit).

Geographical labels are also used to indicate that a certain way to spell a word belongs to one of the varieties of English as well. For example, the color gray has different spellings according to where it is used. Thus, we would find grey (Brit.) and gray (US) in a dictionary entry.

navik [9.2K]
The answer is B. Keyword being "theory of radioactivity" and "influential scientists of the century." It's a persuasive keyword that will hook the readers. What is theory of radioactivity? How did her theory garner her the title of influential scientist of the century?

Choice A is vague and hardly persuasive. It's only characterizing her traits: curious and determined.
