Edwards claims that nonbelievers are akin to spiders in Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God because <u>spiders are powerless should a rock fall on them.</u>
What Edwards is trying to say is that anything you do couldn't save you from hell if you do not have faith in God, because your actions would be as fragile as a spider's web trying to hold the weight of a rock that falls into it. Those actions, as the spider's web, would have no influence, and the spider would fall in hell.

Answer:
Part A: Education is liberating
Part B: “...and the argument which he so warmly urged, against my learning to read, only served to inspire me with a desire and determination to learn.” // "Mistress, in teaching me the alphabet, had given me the inch, and no precaution could prevent me from taking the ell."
Explanation:
In chapter 6 of "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" the author tells the story of the day when his Mistress tried to teach him to read, but her husband forbade her to continue teaching him. According to her husband, teaching a slave to read would take away his servile nature and put him in a privileged position where he would no longer be able to serve whites.
At that moment, Douglass understood that reading would be the essential to get him out of that life. In other words, Douglass shows that this event left him motivated to learn to read, because he managed to understand that education is liberating.
The mentioned statement from Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal can best be described as hyperbolic and ironic. It is hyperbolic in the sense that buying infant flesh (and as implied, eating them) is an over exaggerated solution to the problem being discussed. It is also ironic because Swift is proposing to eat the infants so that they won't have to die of malnutrition and diseases.
