Read the poem below. Write a 5 - 7 sentence paragraph demonstrating Hayden's use of specific connotations and denotations of wor

ds to describe Frederick Douglass as an historical hero. Cite at least two specific examples from the text to support your response.
"Frederick Douglass"

by Robert Hayden



When it is finally ours, this freedom, this liberty, this beautiful

and terrible thing, needful to man as air,

usable as earth; when it belongs at last to all,

when it is truly instinct, brain matter, diastole, systole,

reflex action; when it is finally won; when it is more

than the gaudy mumbo jumbo of politicians:

this man, this Douglass, this former slave, this Negro

beaten to his knees, exiled, visioning a world

where none is lonely, none hunted, alien,

this man, superb in love and logic, this man

shall be remembered. Oh, not with statues’ rhetoric,

not with legends and poems and wreaths of bronze alone,

but with the lives grown out of his life, the lives

fleshing his dream of the beautiful, needful thing.

How did the medieval Christian church limit and protect women
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

Medieval era was very dominated by the Christian church.

The people took their beliefs very seriously, and they were more involved in the church than today. It was the part of their every day lifestyle. In that era, people usually gave up on their worldly life so they can become nuns and monks. That's how dominated and consumed by the church they were.

The church,  played a huge role in everyone's life in Medieval period. When it comes to women, their rights were limited, and Church played a big role in that limitation. The doctrine from the church considered in some way that both men and women have the same rights, that they are equal. But, women represented some kind of evil and they believed that they are more prone to committing a sin. That's where a male protector gets his role -- to guide them to the right path.

The minimum age for marriage was set, and also the punishment for both men and women if they committed some sort of crime. Only few women were able to get education, and some nuns became the right arms of the kings, and some of them became writers.
