Answer:

C). The United States needs to grant its black population freedom and equality.

Explanation:

The central idea is illustrated as the main dominating idea that is central to the plot and surrounds the entire story. It primarily functions to unify the different elements of the plot together.

In the given excerpt from Frederick Douglass' "The Destiny of Colored Americans" reflects the central idea that 'the US needs to grant its black population with the rights of liberty and equality' as it is the major idea that dominates the passage throughout. It is reflected by Douglass' recurring descriptions that imply that 'the white man’s happiness cannot be purchased by the black man’s misery' and author urges that 'white and black "must fall or flourish together'.

The author suggests that the blacks too should be granted the rights of 'equality and liberty' so, they also would be able to contribute to the nation's growth which they(Americans) are wasting very year in a fit of their pride and folly'. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

The poem I have chosen is Small Dragon by Brian Patten.

The poem appeals to children's imagination to tell them about a dragon that the author has found in the forest. The author depicts the dragon. He says that it feds on many things  like grass, roots of stars, hazel nut and dandelion. Then the author says the dragon made a nest among the coal not unlike a bird but larger. the author says that if you believed in it he would come hurrying to your house to let you share this wonder. In this way he leans on children's innocense to make them believe.

What I liked about this poem is that in a world in which children are treated like adults and they have to worry about life. In a world in which children are forced to work and they have to make a living, there is this dragon that appears in the forest. Thus the author appeals to the innocense of children to make them believe in a wonderful creature, in a wonderful life.  

The quote that I like is

If you believed in it I would come

hurrying to your house to let you share this wonder,

Because that makes me think that there is a dragon, that there is a wonderlful creature in the forest. I just have to believe.

A memoir is a collection of personal memories related to specific moments or experiences in the author's life. Told from the perspective of the author, memoirs are written in first person point of view. The defining characteristic that sets memoirs apart from autobiographies and biographies is its scope.
