Question

Read the passage and study the image from Sugar Changed the World. The painstaking work had just one aim: to plant a crop that would end up taking the life of every worker who touched it. As [Olaudah] Equiano explained, the sugar slaves could hardly rest even when their day was done. Their huts, which ought to be well covered, and the place dry where they take their little repose, are often open sheds, built in damp places; so that when the poor creatures return tired from the toils of the field, they contract many disorders, from being exposed to the damp air in this uncomfortable state. Slave huts on a Caribbean island. The huts have no doors and are built on sandy, open ground with no trees nearby. These are what enslaved people’s huts looked like in the Caribbean (photo by V. C. Vulto). How does the photograph help the reader understand the text? It shows that plantation workers no longer live the way Equiano describes in the text. It shows that plantation workers are still living the way Equiano describes in the text. It shows how enslaved people were exposed to the outside elements and weather. It shows the difference between plantation owners' and enslaved people’s living conditions.

Explanation:

"Sugar Changed the World" by arc Aronson and Marina Budhos gave an insight into how the spices that we daily use came about. Particularly, the history of sugar that almost everyone can't stay without is traced in this narrative where they provide the 'journey' of how sugar came to be.

As found in the excerpt from the book, the narrator reveals that the slaves did not have a time of rest. Even after their work is done for the day, there is no respite at home, for their houses were in the open and thus, made them vulnerable to diseases. Likewise, the photo by V. C. Vulto shows enslaved people's huts with "no doors and are built on sandy, open ground with no trees nearby".

Thus, the image helps the readers understand the conditions of the slaves, exposed to the outside elements and weather.
