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 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

The approach to criticism that determines what the writer said is _____. evaluation interpretation scanning analysis
Montano1993 [528]
This is called interpretation.

This is when critics want to find meaning in what an author has written. Analysis is much broader while scanning is incorrect. Evaluation is also inappropriately used here.

Chopin’s protagonist in “The Story of an Hour,” Louise Mallard, utters the words “free, free, free” after she receives the news
icang [17]

The theme of the story expressed in that action is the submission and lack of freedom of women in marriages in those times.

In Chopin's "<em>The Story of an Hour</em>", Louise Mallard feels free when knowing that her husband passed away because she felt imprisoned being married to him. Given the patriarchal society and the way women were seen in her times, she never could really live the way she wanted and had to submit to him.

Travis is using the web below to organize his idea for his essay about the 1871 Chicago fire after reading The Great Fire
vodka [1.7K]

Hi. You have not informed the web which Travis is using. This makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, after searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question just like yours, which asked you to present, what information Travis could use to present the main causes of the fire, on the web. If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer and Explanation:

For the main causes of the fire, Travis can show that firefighters were sent to the wrong place and that the number of wooden buildings in the city stimulated the fire.

The great Chicago Fire was a tragedy, where almost the entire territory of Chicago was set on fire, leaving many dead, injured and homeless. One of the major factors that made the fire take such large proportions was the amount of wooden buildings present in the territory. Wood was the raw material of practically all houses, buildings and even roads and all this wood served as food for the fire, allowing it to spread quickly. The firefighters' delay also contributed to the fire, as they were sent to the wrong location, which greatly delayed the rescue and fire fighting.
