Fellow citizens, pardon me, and allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here today? What have I or those I represent to d

o with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? And am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits, and express devout gratitude for the blessings resulting from your independence to us? Would to God, both for your sakes and ours, that an affirmative answer could be truthfully returned to these questions. Then would my task be light, and my burden easy and delightful. For who is there so cold that a nation's sympathy could not warm him? Who so obdurate and dead to the claims of gratitude, that would not thankfully acknowledge such priceless benefits? Who so stolid and selfish that would not give his voice to swell the hallelujahs of a nation's jubilee, when the chains of servitude had been torn from his limbs? What effect is achieved by using a series of questions in this speech? A. It conveys a sense of wonderment about the tenets of the Declaration of Independence. B. It gets the audience to start thinking about whether the Declaration of Independence was beneficial for the slaves. C. It makes the audience begin to resent the policies and practices of the US government. D. It creates a parallel structure intended to urge the audience to protest against the Declaration of Independence.

Answer:

The efect achieved by using a series of questions in this speech is B. It gets the audience to start thinking about whether the Declaration of Independence was beneficial for the slaves.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are studying here was taken from a speech given by Frederick Douglass when he was invited to talk at a Fourth of July celebration. Douglass (1818 - 1895), a former slave, uses a series of questions in the speech as a strategy to make his audience reflect on the real issue at hand: slavery. Even though America is celebrating its freedom from England, Douglass thinks of such freedom as an illusion, a lie. How can America rejoice and sing of being free when it holds slaves? How can slaves partake in the celebration when they are kept as other people's property? Douglass intends to have people ponder over their own hypocrisy.

Tituba is not whipped into a confession in the play like she is in the film. Why do you
puteri [66]

The Crucible is a tragedy play by Arthur Miller on which a movie was directed. The difference between the scenes in movies and plays is created to show the element of drama.

<h3>Who is Tituba?</h3>

Tituba is one of the black characters of the story that is an enslaved girl of Kalina nationality and is accused of practicing witchcraft during trials. In the play, it is seen that Tituba is threatened to confess her involvement in witchcraft.

In the movie, she is not threatened but thrashed to admit her involvement to increase the intensity of the drama and to create a greater impact on the audience by showing the discrimination.

Therefore, in the movie, the scenes are different to show the increased drama.
