Answer:

The correct answer is A. The author's immediate purpose in writing "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" was to persuade readers about the unjust treatment of African Americans.

Explanation:

The author of this speech was Frederick Douglass, an abolitionist, speaker, writer and statesman who after escaping slavery in Maryland, became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining prestige by his oratory and critical writings against slavery.

In this speech, he makes an analysis of the constitutional basis of slavery in the United States, establishing that the guarantees of the Constitution, the very basis of American society, were an insult to the African-American population, since the rights enunciated in there were not available for them.

It tells, on the other hand, the unfair and unequal treatment of African-Americans, both from the government and from society itself.

Would you choose a job that you would enjoy, or a job that would pay well?Bring two arguments.

ch4aika [34]

   Choosing a job because you get more money over a job that you would enjoy is what I would call not smart. My reasons are because: I would love a job everyone was my friends, I knew everything, and people can count on me.
   Working at a job you enjoy is like you're living in a Christmas-everyday wonderland. You wanna know why, well because you have friends that you can count on and can talk to when you're bored. If you work in a place where there was no joy and you just get payed more then that would mean you would have no friends because other people are working there butts off trying to work hard to earn the money they're getting on their pay day.
   Also not only would you be able to count on others but others can count on you. That would mean that you would know stuff and at the same time are being trusted. Now if you worked in a place that you get more money though, then the other people would wanna be showing off to their boss so they can get paid extra and you wouldn't be trusted even though you aren't doing anything wrong
   In addition, Like I said all of these are technically that people can count on you and you can count on other people. Usually people say "Treat others the way you wanna be treated" so if you get trusted by people, you can also trust the people that are trusting you to do stuff.
   In conclusion, just think about what I said: If you were to choose one of these it would be better to work in a place everyone is friends, can count on you and you count on them, and you can still know what you need to know. Not the other way around or else you wouldn't enjoy working there even if you were being payed well.

I'm pretty sure that was either 100 words or more than 100 words. If you are to write an essay about this, you can use my essay for some parts, just don't copy all of what I wrote or you can write some of it just don't copy word-by-word. Which would be plagiarism.

How does H. T. Johnson use sarcasm in his poem "The Black Man's Burden"? A. He calls the imperialist armies "fearless" but also

PIT_PIT [208]

The quick answer is A, I believe.

It is the closest thing to sarcasm in the poem. It is more of a wail that it is sarcasm. It bemoans the fact that you can easily fight people who are not as well equipped as you are to carry on a battle.

He doesn't mock their inability to fight back. The line that is sarcasm isn't mentioned. Laughter drowns out the pain and wailing.

The natives are doing the laughing. The British are.

The red and brown is more or less just a fact.

A is the closest thing you have to an answer.
