Excerpt: "No, you didn't expect him to get killed," Mrs. Gearson repeated, in a voice which was startlingly like George's again. "You just expected him to kill some one else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches--conscripts, or whatever they call 'em. You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of."

The woman lifted her powerful voice in a psalmlike note. "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands!" She dropped her eyes, which she had raised with her voice, and glared at Editha. "What you got that black on for?" She lifted herself by her powerful arms so high that her helpless body seemed to hang limp its full length. "Take it off, take it off, before I tear it from your back!"

Explanation: In this excerpt there are a couple of sentences that are considering sarcasm in them. Those are:

"No, you didn't expect him to get killed."

"You just expected him to kill someone else.."

"they weren't there because they had any say about it.."

''you thought it would be right.....to kill the sons...miserable mothers.."

They are having sarcastic tone in them because the man is saying those words in a sarcastic way because they are something that the other person know but he was acting like he didn't. That is why he is saying ''No, you didn't expect'' or ''You thought..''

Revisit Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and justify the two pieces of evidence you quoted in your previous assignmen

andrew11 [14]

Hello. I don't know what evidence you mentioned in your previous assignment, which makes it impossible for me to answer your question efficiently. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way, showing you how to justify the chosen doubts.

you must justify the evidence based on the importance it has in the story you read. If you selected evidence where Douglass reflects on the importance of education, you can justify it by using the fact that education is liberating and would allow slaves to have enough knowledge to fight for themselves. If you used evidence about the misrepresentation that slavery imposes on society, you can justify how slavery is based on dominance and humiliation, generating results as depressing as the process itself.
