Answer:

brittle

Explanation:

<em>Brittle </em>means hard but liable to break into small pieces or burst.

In the passage from Ray Bradbury's "Farenheit 451," Montag, who feels ill and has temperature, describes his wife as he is lying in bed. Thus, he makes reference to her thin hair, her eyes, lips and body. The reason why he did not feel alright is that previous night, he and his team of firefighters burnt down a woman's house with her books, one of which he stole and hid under his pillow. Besides, Mildred told him that her neighbor Clarisse had been killed and that her family had moved away, which also hurt Montag and now makes him question his job and the reason why books are burnt.

  • It showed that the slaves were not truly free in the real sense of the word unlike what the government and media were making people believe.

<h3>What is the central message of the article?</h3>

The article, "Growing Up with Juneteenth," by Annette Gordon-Reed explains the mixed reactions that the African Americans faced after the Emancipation proclamation. Even though their freedom had been announced, the states in the south refused to let them go.

So, amid the joy of the official proclamation, there was also the lingering mistreatment by the southerners who did not want to let go. Juneteenth was a special holiday that marked the release of the Blacks in Galveston, Texas.
