The correct answer in this case is "we"

Us is also correct but in that case the sentence would not be an elliptical one. If you use "we" then the sentence is both correct and elliptical which fits the description of the question.

What does Fredrick Douglass tell Mr.Thomas about his time at Mr.Covey's?
xeze [42]
Edward Covey represents Douglass’s nemesis in the Narrative. Covey is a typical villain figure in that his cruelty is calculated. He is not a victim of the slavery mentality but a naturally evil man who finds an outlet for his cruelty in slaveholding. Covey is skilled and methodical in his physical punishment of his slaves, but he is even more skilled at psychological cruelty. While other slaveholders in the Narrative can be deceitful with their slaves, Covey uses deception as his primary method of dealing with them. He makes the slaves feel that they are under constant surveillance by lying to them and creeping around the fields in an effort to catch them being lazy.

One way in which Douglass portrays Covey as a villain is by depicting him as anti-Christian. The slaves call Covey “the snake,” in part because he sneaks through the grass, but also because this nickname is a reference to Satan’s appearance in the form of a snake in the biblical book of Genesis. Douglass also presents Covey as a false Christian. Covey tries to deceive himself and God into believing that he is a true Christian, but his evil actions reveal him to be a sinner. As Douglass associates himself with Christian faith, he heightens the sense of conflict between himself and Covey by showing Covey to be an enemy of Christianity itself.

As Douglass’s nemesis, Covey is the chief figure against whom Douglass defines himself. Douglass’s fight with Covey is the climax of the Narrative—it marks Douglass’s turning point from demoralized slave to confident, freedom-seeking man. Douglass achieves this transformation by matching and containing Covey’s own violence and by showing himself to be Covey’s opposite. Douglass thus emerges as brave man, while Covey is exposed as a coward. Douglass is shown to be capable of restraint, while Covey is revealed to be an excessive braggart. Finally, Douglass emerges as a leader of men, while Covey is shown to be an ineffectual master who cannot even enlist the aid of another slave, Bill, to help him.

write a story on your voice, hopes, dreams and aspirations for a sustainable future with 1200 to 1500 words long
scoray [572]

Explanation:

   I have many hopes and dreams in my mind at this moment and my age, some of them usually seem impossible but I am hoping that I will accomplish all of them If I am working enough hard for them.

  For me, sustainable life means to have a regular job and family with all love and support that are important for one man to have. I am often thinking about the future and my future job since it is a big part of a sustainable future and I always wanted to become a teacher.

My dream is to work with the younger ones and teach them everything useful to them. I also love that job because it can bring you many friends, beautiful events and for me, it is not something difficult to do because I dreamed about it long ago and I dream about it now. Since my mom is also a teacher I would like to have a similar life liker her because even if she was working every day in the week when we are young, she always had time for us and I want my kids to feel the same. I think that this kind of job is the best for my future. Job isn't the only thing that it is in my sustainable future, the other things are happiness and joy with my family that I would love to have. It would be wonderful for me to have a big family and many kids.

    I think that for success, love, happiness and hard work are the main keys and If we are working enough hard for it, we can accomplish anything.
