In 150 words, describe what Arthur would say to the captain in response to his questions in Twelve Years a Slave.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Sure.

The ship stops on the way to New Orleans, picking up four more slaves. Among them is a slave named Arthur. Like Solomon and Robert, Arthur is a free man with a family and was kidnapped and sold into slavery. When the ship departs again for New Orleans, the captain appoints Robert as his waiter and Solomon as the overseer of the cooking department. Solomon is also made to distribute food and water twice a day. At night, the slaves are “driven into the hold and securely fastened down.”

Arthur’s story of being kidnapped echoes that of Robert and Solomon, pushing the reader to recognize the widespread distortion of justice that permeates the nation. The slaves are once again compared to livestock, as they are “driven into the hold and securely fastened down” like horses or cattle being kept in the barn for the night.

A violent storm descends upon the ship, and many of the slaves wish that the “compassionate sea” would drown them, saving them from “the clutches of remorseless men.”  Solomon tells his reader not to judge him for any of his actions that follow in the narrative, writing: “Let not those who have never been placed in like circumstances, judge me harshly.”

What do the words absolute Despotism mean as they are used in paragraph 2 in Passage #1, "The Declaration of Independence"?
LiRa [457]

<em>"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under </em><u><em>absolute Despotism</em></u><em>, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. "</em>

  • despotism denotes dictatorship, a tyranny, an absolute power

People should not put up with it, they have the responsibility to act and change something when it goes wrong, if people are being oppressed and under the tyranny of those in power, they shall stand up, if but for future generations' sake.

When an author selects specific words to create a certain tone or mood, this is known as
MatroZZZ [7]
This would be diction. Diction, by definition, the choice and use of words and phrases in a speech or writing. The authors diction determines the tone or mood of the story. For example, if the author described something as being depressing or something like that, it would be a lot more effective and more intense than just sad. I couldn't really come up with a better example than that lol but I hope this helps!
