Answer:

State of being forgotten.

Explanation:

The given passage is from "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African" by Olaudah Equiano. In this memoir, he narrates his life during slavery and the racism he experienced.

The word "Oblivion" means the state of being forgotten or left unknown completely, without any trace of it being thought about. So, when Equiano wrote the given passage, he implied that writing or reading of memoirs is a hard task, especially for a person who is colored. And even though he may be black, his life is "<em>a particular favorite of Heaven</em>" for his sufferings were less compared to that of his fellow people. Also, the condition of the salves in America and that of the African nations where they are treated better than the slaves were treated in America. So, in writing his memoir, even though it won't contain any <em>"striking events"</em>, he believes that people will read what they find exciting and then ignore others to the level of "<em>contempt and oblivion</em>".

Hitman42 [59]

         From the beginning this passage talked about Faizula doing things for other people, not really looking for anything in return. He didn’t want to bother the person behind him by leaning his seat back, let other people go ahead even though he didn’t really want to. For a while it didn’t seem like he would catch a break but when he was nice to the guy selling roses, and he saw how it impacted him, all his niceness payed off.

        I think the roses in the story represent the beauty that can come out of one kind act. It sounds cheesy but, in the story, it talked about how Faizula felt good about giving the man a smile and extra money, even though the whole day he was being kind to no avail. The man was trying to sell the roses to many people but each one shot him down, then when Faizula changed his mind and bought one it changed the man’s whole mood, and in a way gave him hope.

         Faiula’s culture influences the story by creating a sort of guideline we know he must follow. Not only should one be always kind but self-disciplinary. He showed self-discipline when he didn’t break his fast and chose to focus on his work. Through out the story he was consistent with his actions and thoughts and that emphasizes how good of a person he really is.
