The Emancipation Proclamation was dubbed as a great beacon of hope because it freed black men and women from slavery. The Emancipation Proclamation was a monumentous document that came into effect on January 1 1863 and which essentially declared "that all persons held as slaves are, and henceforward shall be free".

Make inferences and draw conclusions about the author's purpose in the novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Smith wrote A Tree Grows in Brooklyn to inform others about what it was like growing up in a small neighborhood in Brooklyn in the early 1900s. In one chapter, she recalls "with a peculiar tenderness" how Brooklynites celebrated Thanksgiving (Smith 1). Smith's use of cultural terminology, such as "ragamuffin" or "slamming gates," helps the reader better understand the language used by children in the Williamsburg neighborhood at that point in history. Her detailed description of the children's selection of costumes reveals the popular culture of the time and tensions between the poor and rich of the town (1). Smith dwells not only on the cultural details of early Brooklyn, but she also describes emotional experiences of growing up poor. Although the children in Francie's classroom are hungry, they are "too proud to accept charitable food. . . . ," even when that food is about to be thrown away (3). For these children, dignity is more important than satisfying hunger pangs. Smith's careful attention to cultural, historical, and emotional details informs the reader of what it was like to grow up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in the early 1900s.

Read the passage.
liberstina [14]

Based on the given passage describes Jane crashing into Mrs. Miller's car as she thought to herself, "How could I not have seen Mrs. Miller’s van? Out of all the vehicles in this parking lot, I had to back into my Spanish teacher’s?”, but the tone of Mrs. Miller was quite jovial

<h3>What is a Tone?</h3>

This refers to the attitude of an author that is used to tell a story that has a profound effect on the narration which affects the general atmosphere of the scene, also known as the mood of the text.

Hence, it can be seen that when Mrs. Miller realized that her car was dented by Jane, she was jovial about it and acknowledged that she was aware that it was a mistake, and was quite helpful to suggest calling the insurance company to come to fix it up.

Therefore, option A is the right answer.
