Fatigue. It means being tired :)
Answer: "For an African, whether you were sent to the Caribbean or South America, you were now part of the sugar machine."
The excerpt explains that slaves were performing similar jobs, receiving similar punishments and enduring similar suffering regardless of the colony they arrived to. Most sugar plantations followed the same system to produce sugar, and it was equally brutal everywhere. Work had to be done constantly and quickly, and slaves were punished often. The sentence that best exemplifies this idea is the first one.
Answer:
Yes and no.
Explanation:
There are certain consequences that should occur when someone posts on social media, but as long as it doesn't contain any graphic or violent/rude things than I say it is fine. But Social Media does change a lot of people, and can be immensely bad and can impact someone in a negative way. It is important to understand what someone goes through behind a post, since people can do it for the enjoyment of it, or just because they want to. There is no exact answer for me personally, but it depends on what is posted or being posted. I feel as though everything that goes on Social Media will either be toxic or whatever the poster feels they want to share, since some people can share graphic things that can entirely change someones mindset. So there are multiple reasons to believe why and why not things that are posted on social media should be taken accounted for by the poster. I just assume these things based on prior knowledge and what I've personally learned and dealt with. It isn't easy to have your life taken away or be highly famous for posts that may not define someone. I've met multiple people who act "bad" in pictures or posts, and in reality, they are a whole different person. So it entirely depends in my opinion.
Answer:
The chronology that is described in the excerpt is "Pope follows to invest in the cycling industry steps."
Explanation:
From the excerpt: "What interested Pope, however, was a display in one of the English buildings, where two manufacturers from Great Britain presented the latest bicycles. Pope was tantalized by these bicycles, called high wheelers, which had huge wheels in the front and tiny ones in the back. A Civil War veteran and entrepreneur, he wondered about the machine's possibilities as both a business venture and a means of transportation. If only it didn't seem so impossible to ride. Pope dismissed the idea of investing in this new vehicle until he encountered another one the following spring, during a jaunt on a horse near his Massachusetts home. All at once, a man on a high wheeler sped by him. When Pope's horse couldn't catch the cyclist, even at a gallop, the businessman suddenly saw the potential of traveling on two wheels."
The excerpt shows different situations where Pope was faced to this new kind of transportation, the so-called High Wheelers, and even when at first he was really interested and intrigued by them, he didn't see them as an actual business, and as the businessman he was he wanted to invest until he saw by himself that against his original impression the High Wheelers where a very good and viable business opportunity.
