He not only told me about it, but he acted out the part of a white player charging into me, blaming me for the "accident" and ca

lling me all kinds of foul racial names. He talked about my race, my parents, in language that was almost unendurable. "They'll taunt and goad you," Mr. Rickey said. "They'll do anything to make you react. They'll try to provoke a race riot in the ballpark. This is the way to prove to the public that a Negro should not be allowed in the major league. This is the way to frighten the fans and make them afraid to attend the games." What is the author’s purpose for including these paragraphs?

Answer:

B. To inform readers about the challenges Rickey and Robinson expect to face.

Explanation:

According to another source, the options for this question are:

<em>A. To inform readers about the history of race riots at American ballparks.</em>

<em>B. To inform readers about the challenges Rickey and Robinson expect to face.</em>

<em>C. To persuade readers that all races should be treated equally in American sports.</em>

<em>D. To entertain readers with a story about a fight between Ricky and Robinson.</em>

In this passage, we learn that Mr. Rickey talks to Robinson about the harassment and hate that he will face when playing for a major league. This is because the major leagues were not accepting of black players. Mr. Rickey talks about racial slurs, taunts, and other racist behaviours. The purpose of including this paragraph in the text is to inform readers about the challenges that racism presented to players at the time.

WILL MARK BRAINLIST I NEED THE ANSWER IN AT LEAST 8 SENTENCES.
mixer [17]

Answer:

This story affects me because it shows how people can be poor, but still have a good work ethic.  In the declaration of Independence, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," is true, but not for all people.  Some people seek happiness, but never truly find what they are looking for, in this case, poor people are ALWAYS seeking happiness, but never obtain it because they will always be poor, this is just the way that it was meant to be.  There will be reality, real life and people will never truly find happiness.  On the other hand, there is ideal, the person who works hard and receives happiness in return.   So many people take for granted the gift of happiness.  Others see its beauty and appreciate it.  Poor people appreciate happiness more because of the fact that they have to work harder to obtain it.   Barbara Ehrenreich's "Serving in Florida" gives a detailed description of this.  

Explanation:

hope this helps:)
