Answer:

B. clever

Explanation:

In his famous speech from 1852, later named "What to A Slave is The Fourth of July" Douglass uses this special date to express his views on the position of slaves in America at the time.

Comparing the fight of the Americans for their independance and against unjust treatment by the British to the situation of black community in the USA some seventy years later, he asks for understanding and support in the pursuit of those same values Americans fought for in the Revolution.

He also uses this argument to criticize respect of this values (freedom and rights) by white US citizens, while, at the same time restraining black people for obtaining them, using well chosen words and clever arguments to emphasize this hypocrisy.

In what way is the character of sir Garwin different from other epic euro such as beowulf
Evgen [1.6K]
For starters, Sir Gawain is not as noble as Beowulf. While Beowulf is presented as a great and noble warrior, we see Gawain as a bit of a proud hasty warrior that feels superior to anyone, seen in Arthur's hall when he just wants to fight without even thinking about it, and we can also see that he's very human considering how he made the mistake in Green king's court when he lied about the kiss and was scared. Beowulf on the other hand is an idealized warrior whose only mistake is in the end when his Hubris gets the best of him. The hubris wasn't a problem in his youth because his body and skill could follow his endeavors.

iren [92.7K]

Dickens's object of social criticism in this excerpt from Hard Times is that a system of education that treats children like machines. The answer is letter A. It is shown in the novel that the teachers only taught students regarding on the works of the society but did not focus on the emotional context.
