Freedom related similes and metaphors? Let me think.

Answer:

It shows how enslaved people were exposed to the outside elements and weather.

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.

Answer please, To Kill a Mockingbird (red squared question)

marta [7]

Answer:

They make up lying and mean stories about him because he is not sociable and is only seen at night.

Explanation:

Boo Radley is not a sociable or communicative person. He is a recluse due to his difficult childhood and violent father, the rare times he was seen was the night and yet he does not maintain contact or friendship with any of the citizens of the city. This causes the population to make malicious gossip about him, presenting him as someone who is evil and who kills animals and is dangerous to humans. All of these stories are lies, since Boo is a very kind man who cares about the safety of children, even if no one knows.

"To Kill a Mocking Bird" is a book about racism and intolerance presented by people admired in society who take positions that are considered "just" and "Christian," but that are malicious and dangerous.
