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.

What was lincons background and character before politics
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln was born in humble surroundings, a one-room log cabin with dirt floors in Hardin County, Kentucky. His father, Thomas Lincoln, could not read and could barely sign his name. He was a stern man whom young Abe never liked very much. Himself born to impoverished parents, Thomas Lincoln was a farmer and carpenter who moved the family from rural Kentucky to frontier Indiana when young Abe was seven years old. Thomas built a crude 360-square foot log cabin where he lived with his wife, Abe, and elder daughter, Sarah.

How can societies reduce the use of fossil fuels?
zalisa [80]

If we use electric car instead of cars which run on fossil fuels,we can reduce use of fossil fuels.Hence, this car technology can be employed to conserve the fossil fuel reserves. Hybrid car technology uses two or more distinct power sources to move the vehicle.

Use of biofuels such as ethanol or biodiesel could also play an important role in saving fossil fuels. Ethanol is is the most common biofuel worldwide. It can be mixed with gasoline to any percentage and used in existing petrol engines as a replacement of gasoline. Biodiesel is beneficial because it can be used in existing vehicles with little or no adaptation.

Solar panels can be used in  homes instead of electricity which is generated using fossil fuels.

Using mass transportation like train,bus,metro instead of personal car could reduce the use of fossil fuel.

Using alternate energy sources like solar power,tidal power ,wave energy,wind energy,hydro thermal energy ,geothermal and nuclear energy could definitely reduce the use of fossil fuels.
