What forms of resistance do the slaves utilize on Epps' plantation and throughout the region in twelve years a slave

1 answer:

3 0

There are not much resistance shown by the slaves but only by one who is Northup. Others were not seen using resistance on the epps plantation. Explanation:

The film :twelve years a slave: is a movie which was based upon the life and the hardships of the slaves of that time.
Even though the 1854 memoir on which the film is based shows many resistances by the slaves but no resistance and fighting back of the slaves is shown in the movie.
The only fighting back of Northup is shown in the movie where he fights against the person to whom he has been mortgaged.

Which sentence is correct? There are 1,000,000 people living in the city. There are one million people living in the city. There

SpyIntel [72]

The last sentence is absolutely incorrect, I would say both "There are 1,000,000 people living in the city." and "There are one million people living in the city" are correct.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Ephraim shows contentious remarks against the degrading remarks of a certain politician.

identify the type of context clue (CONTENTIOUS) used in statement

Answer:

Restatement/Synonym Clues

Explanation:

Context clues are unknown words in a text, where the reader can understand the meaning through the context of the sentence in which these words are inserted. With this, the reading time and motivation to read are optimized, because the reader does not need to stop reading to look for the meaning of the word.

The phrase shown in the question above uses the word "contentious" as a context clue. This is because through the context of the sentence we can see that this word means something contrary and challenging.

This type of context clue is called Restatement/Synonym Clues, because it uses an unknown word in a simple and easy way.

Read these quotations from Douglass' autobiography."to drink the bitterest dregs of slavery"". . .the dark night of slavery clos

Anna [14]

Answer:

The literary technique used in all three examples is metaphor.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an indirect comparison. Unlike a simile -- a direct comparison --, which uses the support words "as" or "like", a metaphor does not use any support words. It simply states that thing A is thing B, instead of thing A is like thing B. For example:

- Your eyes are like stars. -- simile

- Your eyes are stars. -- metaphor

The purpose of a metaphor is to attribute the characteristics of one thing to another by comparing them, even if in reality they are not similar at all. When I say someone's eyes are stars, I don't mean it literally, of course. I refer to their beautiful brightness.

That is precisely what Douglass does in all three examples in the question. Slavery does not literally have bitter dregs. It is not a dark night. The vessels were not ghosts. Douglass is making these indirect comparisons to attribute characteristics of one thing to the other. On dark nights, we can feel scared, lost, hopeless. By saying slavery is a dark night, Douglass may mean slavery made him feel that way.
