Answer:

To represent his conceptualization of his captors to his readers and to explain enough reasons to be understood.

Explanation:

Whether they were accessory to my misfortunes— subtle and inhuman monsters in the shape of men—:  Means in the first place that it doesn’t matter if the individuals that made him experience so many misfortunate events were necessary to perform them or not he still did it. In second place that their much-elaborated bad acts made them lose their human condition and thanks to it, he perceived them as monsters. Also that the only human thing they had was their image.

designedly luring me away from home and family, and liberty, for the sake of gold—those who read these pages will have the same means of determining as myself.

First of all, this sentence describes that the cause of his kidnapping and slavery was wealth. Also, in second place that thanks to all his descriptions and opinions every reader will conceptualize his captors and abusers as he portrays them.

I always like to think of figurative meaning as deeper meaning: what is the narrator really trying to get the reader to understand? Once you have your answer, think about the key words in that excerpt that helped you uncover the figurative meaning-- these will always be figurative devices, so you're already half way through this question. (pro tip: stick to the text to uncover it-- don't stray to far from the information you are being provided)

Lastly, you're being asked to identify literary devices here, do you notice any symbols? Something that usually stands for something else that might relate to that deeper/figurative meaning? Also, think about how the way in which the author phrased these symbols impacted the overall deeper meaning.

Which of the following sentences is in active voice?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

b. The flower bloomed earlier than expected.

Explanation:

The other three have 'was' before the verbs; 'the athlete <em>was</em> penalized', 'the child <em>was</em> fed', 'he <em>was</em> convinced', etc. This puts these three sentences in the passive voice. While, 'the flower <em>bloomed</em> earlier than expected' shows the flower acting the verb, rather than the verb acting on it, thus making putting it in the active voice.

hope this helps !!

How is the speaker's point of view in the poem "Child of the Americas" used to explore cultural identity?
atroni [7]

Answer:

The first-person point of view allows her to claim ownership of her own cultural identity.

Explanation:

<em>Child of the Americas</em> is a poem written by Aurora Levins Morales. It is written from the first-person point of view. This point of view is recognizable by the use of pronouns <em>I</em> and<em> we.</em> The speaker tells about their feelings or events they go through from their own perspective. We can notice this in the given poem starting from the first line: <em>I am a child of the Americas...</em>

Throughout the poem, she tells about her cultural identity and claims ownership of it. She tells about how mixed the culture that surrounds her is and in what way. There is no mention of racism in this poem.

This is why the third option is the correct one.
