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.

Unfazed by the morning frenzy before school, dad gave us our lunches before we left.
monitta
<span>The sentence is built around the simple subject “dad” and simple predicate “gave.” It also contains both a direct object “lunches” and indirect object “us.”

</span><span>Unfazed by the morning frenzy before school is a prepositional phrase modifying gave. or dad. or something. but you don't need to know that and i'm stupid so let's move on.

Before we left is also a prepositional phrase. I'm still stupid so let's move on.

The subject is dad, verb is gave, and the direct object is lunches because it's what dad gave, it's the receiver of the action.
The indirect object is us because it's whom received th</span>e verb. Or something. I'm still stupid.

How dose the detail of the children on the spirit’s legs contribute to the overall text?
gtnhenbr [62]

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

How does the detail of the children on the spirit’s legs contribute to the overall text?

A. They represent Ignorance and Want, which the spirit warns Scrooge to beware of.

B. They symbolize two of society’s ills which cling to Christmas: the desire to receive instead of to give, and the failure to acknowledge suffering.

C. They represent Ignorance and Want, two of Scrooge’s faults that hopefully have been corrected by the spirit’s visit.

D. The author likely includes these children to remind readers to care for those in need during Christmas time.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. They symbolize two of society’s ills which cling to Christmas: the desire to receive instead of to give, and the failure to acknowledge suffering.

Explanation:

   Undoubtedly two of the society's ills wich cling to Christmas is the desire to receive, and never think about those who have the least.

This is exactly what the children represent in the spirit's legs. Children with deprivation and poverty while others have everything, and still want more.

This story tells the life of a selfish and sullen man who changes his way of being during a cold Christmas due to the visit of three ghosts, and it is precisely about symbolizing this problem in society, and trying to change it.
