Read this excerpt from My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass: She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and

comfort for every mourner that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her of these excellent qualities, and her home of its early happiness. Conscience cannot stand much violence. Once thoroughly broken down, who is he that can repair the damage? It may be broken toward the slave, on Sunday, and toward the master on Monday. It cannot endure such shocks. It must stand entire, or it does not stand at all. If my condition waxed bad, that of the family waxed not better. The first step, in the wrong direction, was the violence done to nature and to conscience, in arresting the benevolence that would have enlightened my young mind. Which of the following sentences best describes Douglass’s opinion about slavery?
1. Slavery degrades the slaveholder by killing his or her conscience.
2. Slavery prevents slave children from reaching their potential.
3.Slavery is degrading to both the slaveholder and the enslaved.
4. Slavery makes even the kindest people cruel and heartless.

GUIDED QUESTION
artcher [175]

Answer:

You might be highly frustrated today. But it's a good life anyway.

<em>For example,</em> people might cheat you, lie to you, and blame you for problems they themselves create. Even so, life has infinite capacity for goodness and fulfillment.

<em>Furthermore, </em>a whole lot of things cause you a whole lot of trouble. Yet when you step back and take a good, clear look, you see without question that life is well worth the trouble.

<em>Therefore,</em> it's all too easy to imagine sometimes that things are hopeless. But then you remember you've survived a lot worse, and in fact thrived, and so have many, many others.

<em>So,</em> yes, at times life is tough. And it is precisely those times that enable you to see how very good life can be.

<em>In conclusion,</em> whatever the situation, life is good when you decide it is good. And it's your decision to make right now.

Based on the essay, compare the dreams of the author and her mother. Support your answer with relevant and specific details from
Orlov [11]

Answer:

In the essay, Judith Ortiz Cofer presents the same yet different dreams of the mother-daughter duo. While both seemed to wish for the same wish of the ability of flight, their objectives behind the wish are not that similar.

Explanation:

In Judith Ortiz Cofer's essay <em>"Volar"</em>, she mentioned in the first paragraph her own dreams of having superpowers, like her hero Supergirl. Then, she would <em>"would get on tip-toe, arms outstretched in the position for flight and jump out my fifty-story-high window into the black lake of the sky [....] and look inside the homes of people who interested me</em>". She believed herself to be the same as the fictional superhero, but waking up to the same <em>"tiny bedroom [....] back in my body: my tight curls still clinging to my head, skinny arms and legs . . . unchanged"</em>.

The second paragraph focuses on the parents who would have their "<em>time</em>" before she was woken up by her mother <em>"exactly forty-five minutes after they had gotten up"</em>. The mother wishes to visit her relatives, her <em>"familia on the Island"</em> or go to the beach and have a vacation. And in a loving manner, these propositions will be brought down by her husband. And right before she went to wake up her daughter, she;'d say <em>"Ay, si yo pudiera volar"</em> which is basically meant to say she wish she could fly.

In a way, both the mother and the daughter seem to have the same desire of flight as their wish, though they may also differ in their objective. The mother's wish was to be able to get to her "<em>familia</em>" while the young daughter’s wish was to escape from her reality and be a superhero like her idol Supergirl.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

more unreliable news sources.

Explanation:

An information source can be defined as a system or medium through which informations, knowledge and ideas may be gotten and used by an individual. An information source can either be a primary or secondary source of information. The source options for informations are television, radio, web, newspapers, journals, magazines etc.

The four criteria used to evaluate source options are;

1. Accuracy: the user of this source of information should check if the data presented are accurate and credible. At this point, you should ensure that the informations provided are well researched and cited for verification.

2. Authority: you should endeavor to know who the author and publisher of the information source is. Also, it is important to know their qualifications.

3. Currency: it is necessary to know when the information source was created or produced by the author. Also, the user of this data should verify when it was published (in the case of a book) or if it requires an update (in the case of a website). Hence, the information source should be timely.

4. Objectivity: ensure that the source of information is unbiased, reliable, and should not only contain opinions but facts.

In conclusion, any source option that meets or satisfies the aforementioned criteria is credible, factual and reliable for use.

Digital news era refers to the modern information sources that relies on the use of internet and technology for the dissemination of information to the readers or audience. Some examples are blogs, forums, social media platforms, etc.

However, a challenge of the digital news era is simply the creation or availabilty of more unreliable news sources due to easy access to the internet and smartphones or other communication gadgets.
