Then, many of the people were captured for Slavery. The ones that could fly shed their wings. They couldn’t take their wings acr

oss the water on the slave ships. Too crowded, don’t you know.
The folks were full of misery, then. Got sick with the up and down of the sea. So they forgot about flyin when they could no longer breathe the sweet scent of Africa.

Say the people who could fly kept their power, although they shed their wings. They kept their secret magic in the land of slavery. They looked the same as the other people from Africa who had been coming over, who had dark skin. Say you couldn’t tell anymore one who could fly from one who couldn’t.

—“The People Could Fly,”
Virginia Hamilton

The factual part is that the people were transported as slaves and in factual part is about the wings

Explanation:

The factual part of the narrative recounts the slave trade.

This means that the narrative where the slaves are put up on the ships and then taken are very much real narratives.

The fictional and figurative part of the narrative is the wings which are here used to describe freedom.

The people on the ship went without wings and thus lost their freedom forever.

There was no more a way to distinguish them from the others so there was no matter of difference now

What effect does the word head have on the meaning of this passage?
Serggg [28]

The word <em>head </em>in the given passage demonstrates how intelligent Benjamin was.

Explanation:

The following passage from <em>The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin</em> is the one you were given:

My elder brothers were all put apprentices to different trades. I was put to the grammar-school at eight years of age, my father intending to devote me, as the tithe of his sons, to the service of the Church. My early readiness in learning to read (which must have been very early, as I do not remember when I could not read), and the opinion of all his friends, that I should certainly make a good scholar, encouraged him in this purpose of his. My uncle Benjamin, too, approved of it and proposed to give me all his short-hand volumes of sermons, I suppose as a stock to set up with if I would learn his character. I continued, however, at the grammar-school not quite one year, though in that time I had risen gradually from the middle of the class of that year to be the head of it, and farther was removed into the next class above it, in order to go with that into the third at the end of the year.

The options you were given are the following:

  • It demonstrates how intelligent he was.
  • It indicates he would be a good preacher.
  • It shows he was a favorite of the teachers.
  • It reveals how self-important he was.

The word <em>head </em>in the given context demonstrates how intelligent Benjamin was. The head of a class is a student with the best grades, so based on that, we can conclude that he was a smart and hardworking student. The best student doesn't have to be the teachers' favorite. A student's grades in no way indicate that they may become a good preacher. Besides that, making a statement about their accomplishments doesn't make one self-important.

In "The Star-Spangled Banner," Key describes the sailors who fought in the battle for the British as "hirelings and slaves." Wha
katrin2010 [14]

"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the U.S. of America National Anthem. Was written on September 14, 1814, by the lawyer an amateur poet Francis Scott Key. Key described in the song what he witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812.

When he endorses: "hirelings and slaves" Key probably felt that sailors were being mistreated by their captain. Besides many of the British soldiers were forced into war.
