Answer:

<u>The following is the </u><u>central idea</u><u> of the paragraph:</u>

"The first object which saluted my eyes when i arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship."

<u>The following are the </u><u>supporting details</u><u> of the paragraph:</u>

"These filled m with astonishment, which as soon converted into terror when i was carried on board."

"I was immediately handled and tossed up to see if I were sound by some of the crew; and I was not persuaded that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits, and that they were going to kill me."

Explanation:

The central idea of the paragraph is when Equiano first sees the sea and the slave ship, as it is the moment that will give purpose to the rest of the paragraph; it is the main point of the narration.

The supporting details of the paragraph are what comes after the central idea, and what build up the paragraph's structure as they develop the main idea with more detailed information. In this case, the supporting details show Equiano's fear as he is taken into the ship.

The correct answer is:

The first object which saluted my eyes when I arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor, and waiting for its cargo. <u>These filled me with astonishment, which was soon converted into terror</u> when I was carried on board. I was immediately handled and tossed up to see if I were sound by some of the crew; and <u>I was now persuaded</u> that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits, and <u>that they were going to kill me</u>.

The central idea of this paragraph are in bold and the <u>supporting details</u> are <u>underlined</u>.

What type of figurative language is the use of the word Selma here?
rosijanka [135]

What type of figurative language is the use of the word Selma here?

Answer: It is <u>an allusion</u>.

Explanation:

As a figure of speech, an allusion is a brief reference to an event, person, place or idea. This reference does not include a detailed description. In the first stanza of “Monet’s Waterlilies”

, Robert Hayden makes a quick allusion to the civil rights march from Selma, Alabama, which took place in 1965:

<em>"Today as the news from Selma and Saigon</em>

<em>poisons the air like fallout"</em>

How does this example of figurative language affect the last line of the stanza?

Answer: It sets up contrast.

Explanation:

In the last line of the stanza, the author mentions<em> "the serene, great picture" </em>that he loves. This is in direct contrast with the first line of the stanza, where he describes a disturbing event in which people who protested in peace were attacked by police. This picture looks like anything but serene - the word serene means untroubled and peaceful, and serves as a direct contrast to the scene from the first line.

Why do you think Mrs. Schater kept screaming even though she was getting beaten for it?
nignag [31]

Answer:

Mrs. Schachter kept screaming "fire" even though she was getting beaten for it because she had foreseen what will happen to them, the Jews. She is like a warning for what will be the fate of the people and how most of them will end up.

Explanation:

The memoir <em>Night </em>by Elie Weisel tells the story of how the Jews were discriminated against and treated inhumanely by the German Nazis. The book became one of the most read and first-person accounts of the horrors of the Holocaust, one of the greatest genocide in world history.

Mrs. Schachter and the captured Jews were stuffed into the cattle cars and transported to other camps for their imprisonment. She was with her ten-year-old son. Along the way, she began screaming <em>"Fire! I see a fire! I see a fire! [. . . .] This terrible fire. Have mercy on me"</em>. This happened not just once or twice but more than thrice. She was badly beaten up for causing panic among them and was even gagged. But she kept on shouting about the fire.

Her 'vision' of the fire seems to be the<u> foreshadowing of the fate of the Jews</u>. Most of them will be put in the chamber and burned. She seems to foresee what will happen to them. And even though she was beaten up for shouting and claiming she saw a fire, she kept on repeating her claim to warn them of their fate, which, unfortunately wasn't understood by the people at that time.
