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.

stellarik [79]

During the French and Indian War, <u>the british were allies of the side of the British indians. </u>

The French and Indian War (1754–1763) was a confrontation between the British colonies and the colony of New France in North America. During the conflict, each side was supported by military forces from its parent country and by American Indian-native allies. The French were outnumbered (60,000 settlers against 2 million inhabitants in the British colonies), and had to rely more on the Indians.

It was a singular conflict. Even tough the European powers participated somehow, it is not regarded in America as a conflict associated to them at all.

y = 38

x = 15

Since both sides are congruent and there's a 90 degree angle established and triangles are equal to 180 at means that each sides has to equal 45.
