Answer:

The words from the excerpt that create imagery that emphasizes the hardships that enslaved persons endured are:

A) callous, bloody

Explanation:

The excerpt as a whole talks about how different life was for Frederick Douglass when to compared to other slaves. Douglass found kindness in the world, while the others only new grief and suffering. Yet, according to him, that made him suffer more, but in a different way, and become anxious, maybe restless for change and equality. The others, who didn't even dream of that possibility were, somehow, more peaceful in their pain.

Therefore, as we can see, the whole passage revolves around hardships and suffering. Many words help convey that idea, but we are looking for the ones that create imagery. Imagery happens when the writer employs words with the purpose of appealing to the reader's senses. The reader is, thus, able to imagine a certain scenery, action, smell, or even a sound from the way it is described in the text. In this excerpt, the words "callous" and "bloody" are appealing to readers' senses of sight, touch, and even smell. Sight would be the main one, since readers can see the blood on the whip and the marks on the slaves' backs. They could also picture what it would feel like to touch the callous scars, or to smell the blood.

Write a few sentences in your own words, using your own knowledge, to explain why education creates a domino effect of benefits

Jobisdone [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The effects of education go way beyond basic literacy, creating a positive domino effect.

For example, educated people are usually more tolerant when it comes to cultural differences, to foreigners and immigrants. A consequence of that is a society capable of accepting people from all over the world, where discrimination and racial crimes are not acceptable.

Another example is that educated people understand the importance of equality. Educated societies tend to have a smaller gap when it comes to the treatment, employment and payment of people of different genders and races, for instance. As a consequence, people get better jobs, better salaries, and quality of life improves.

All in all, education provides us with the tools to learn from the past, to understand the present and to create a better future.

WILL GIVE BRAINLEST

Elena-2011 [213]

I would say it is a good book review. You described what happened in detail and I was able to picture the events of the book. However, I would change your answer for the theme. A theme is the moral of a story. For example: "Don't judge a book by its cover," or "All actions have consequences." So find a theme that best fits the story and you'll be good.
