I was born in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough, and about twelve miles from Easton, in Talbot county, Maryland. I have no accurate kn

owledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant. I do not remember to have ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvest-time, cherry-time, spring-time, or fall-time. A want of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages. I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege.
How does Douglass's presentation of the information in this portion of paragraph 1 help to advance his overall argument concerning slavery?
A) It makes the reader conclude that some slaves had it worse than others.
B) It makes the reader aware of the reasons why slavery was first put into practice in the American South.
C) It makes the reader see the dehumanization inherent in a slave being raised without knowing his birthday.
D) It helps the reader to understand the mentality by which a slaveowner justified separating families.

Most children at the age of 11 had always thought that their friends would stick close to them forever, whilst I on the other hand knew the dreaded truth of losing a friend. When transferring to middle school I presumed that my child hood friends from elementary would come with me, though it was only then I knew they would not. I had thankfully been in contact with them, and we regularly talked every now and then after school. Although, soon enough we lost contact with each other. Day by day we would call less, saying that we had school work or after school activities, until we didn’t contact at all. I have tried calling to see how my friend is, although despite trying to reconnect, I only then realized that they wouldn’t pick up the phone or contact back. “When losing something, one also gains something”, so by losing my long time friend, I had gained new friends. Currently, I am in (whatever school like middle school/high school) and I have new friends which I could count on. I just hope that we stick together, because to me, friendships count.

Bingel [31]

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

"a) sincere loyalty b) delayed sympathy c) restless impatience d)purposeful tolerance"

Answer:

d) purposeful tolerance

Explanation:

In book 2 of The Odyssey, Penelope is waiting for the return of Ulysses, her husband, who had gone to war 10 years ago and she had no news whether he was alive or dead. Meanwhile, Penelope loved Ulisse and was willing to wait for his return because she hoped he would come home.

However, her father would like her to remarry and insisted that she allow some suitors to court her. Penelope did not want this, but after much insistence she gave in to her father's wishes, but she asked that she only had to choose her new husband after she wove a shroud for Ulysses' father, which was accepted.

Every day Penelope wove the shroud, but every night she wipes away what had already been done, so that it was possible for her to buy time to wait for Ulysses. Meanwhile, Penelope's suitors invaded her home and pressured her to finish the shroud and choose a new husband. It is at that moment, that Penelope speaks the text shown in the question above, where she shows to understand the rush of the suitors and with a character full of purposeful tolerance asks them to understand her desire to finish weaving a shroud.
