Verdich [7]3 years ago

It is suggesting that the rain is coming down very heavily. The rain is a deluge, soaking everything with large, heavy, water-filled droplets quickly falling. The is based off the original idiom "It's raining cats and dogs" to indicate that it is pouring rain. It takes the hyperbole one step farther to add heavier and larger animals to show the amount of rainfall.

Read this excerpt from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. The silver trump of freedom had roused my soul to eterna
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

- He is unable to ignore the appeal of freedom.

Explanation:

As per the details provided in the excerpt, the deduction which can be made about Douglass is that 'he couldn't disregard the appeal to freedom.' The descriptions like 'silver trump of freedom...roused my soul...to disappear no more forever' substantiates the deduction. He says that this feeling was always present to take him out of his miserable situation. Now, he began to hear this rhythm of freedom in every minute thing and he could feel it even in the stars, storm, wind, and calm. Thus, this shows that he couldn't sideline this interest in freedom.

Who are the different people involved in the scenario? What dilemma or challenge are they facing in the story missing out?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The trolley problem is a series of thought experiments in ethics and psychology, involving stylized ethical dilemmas of whether to sacrifice one person to save a larger number. Opinions on the ethics of each scenario turn out to be sensitive to details of the story that may seem immaterial to the abstract dilemma. The question of formulating a general principle that can account for the differing moral intuitions in the different variants of the story was dubbed the "trolley problem" in a 1976 philosophy paper by Judith Jarvis Thomson.
