Answer:

C. They both signify that at whatever point an experience ends, our ability to understand it abruptly changes is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Sonnet 73 is a poem written by English writer William Shakespeare. In literature, irony is a rhetorical device to show that the expectations were different from the real result; there is usually a second intention behind the apparent meaning. In the sonnet, the expectations are an experience to last for ever, and the real situation comes when the end of it is near. The speaker takes hand of elements of nature (such as the golden leaves and the dying fire) to indicate how the end of a situation can lead to a different understanding of it.

2. How do the Irish workers at the docks treat Douglass? What do they encourage him to do?
Mrac [35]

Hi. Although you have not presented the text these questions refer to, from the context of the questions we can see that you are referring to chapter 7 of "Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass." So I hope the answers below can help you.

1. They treat Douglass kindly, as Douglasss was helping them finish the activities they were doing. They like Douglass and like his presence, so much so that they encourage him to flee to the north of the country, where slavery is prohibited.

2. The most important part of this part of the book is when Douglass hears the word "abolitionism" spoken by the Irish. This part is important because it shows how Douglass first came into contact with a concept that would be so important and so relevant in his life.

We must remember that "Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass" is the book where Frederick Douglass tells the story of his life as a slave and how he managed to become a free man through the education of self-knowledge.
