Thy town, thy parents, and thy native place?
Or, if a merchant in pursuit of gain,
What port received thy vessel from the main?
Or comest thou single, or attend thy train?”

The rage of hunger and of thirst repress'd:
To watch the foe a trusty spy he sent:
A son of Dolius on the message went,
Stood in the way, and at a glance beheld
The foe approach, embattled on the field.

During a lecture in class I was talking to my best friend about our argument yesterday. The bell rang and I hadn’t been able to take the notes necessary for our Unit Test. I came to class the next day and did really bad on our test. By not paying attention I was able to negatively effect my grade. Since that day I began to pay more attention in class.
Elie Wiesel didn't need Holocause deniers to lend immediacy to his discussion about the importance of learning and memory, but there they were away, three men standing outside the Symphony Center Sunday morning holding an anti-Semitic banner and barking such nonsense as,"There never was a Holocaust.
Answer:
This passage reveals that:
C) Slavery was a taboo subject, to be avoided in polite conversation.
Explanation:
Frederick Douglass was born in 1818. He was an abolitionist, a writer, and a social reformer whose autobiography "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" greatly influenced the abolitionist movement in 1845. In the book, Douglass tells the story of his life as a slave and the measures he took to learn how to read and write.
From the passage we are studying here, it can be easily inferred that slavery was a taboo issue in conversations. Even though it was a reality - and a horrific one -, people were uncomfortable when it was brought up. According to Douglass, "grownup people" were discussing it, but whenever he brought it up with white boys around his age, they were troubled, bothered by it. Maybe they were suddenly and sharply reminded that that human being they were talking to, unlike themselves, did not have any freedom. His life was set in a very different direction than theirs. Being reminded of that was probably uncomfortable.
