Answer:

The meaning of chattel is 'property.'

The meaning of the word 'chattel' can be understood with the help of a clue that states 'for her to treat me as a human being was not only wrong but dangerously so...'

The type of context clue used in this is 'antonym context clue.'

Explanation:

The meaning of the word 'chattel' is property. Frederick Douglass in his autobiography writes about his life in slavery and during that time, <u>slaves were considered a mere chattel (property) than a human being.</u>

<u>The writer has used the context clue to define the term chattel by saying that for his owner to treat him like 'human being' was not only wrong but dangerous as well</u>.

The writer has used an 'antonym context clue' in this paragraph.

The antonym context clue, as the term suggests are those clues in which the writer states a contrasting idea near to the word. The antonym context clues are also known as 'contrast clues.' In such context clues, a word or phrase that means opposite to the unfamiliar word is used to hint the meaning.

Write an acrostic poem that describe the words “embark” and “profanity”.
sp2606 [1]

I felt the hot on my skin

Where is this place

End my thirst

Next stop

There, somewhere, anywhere

Oh, how my lungs cry

Need, I need water

And there is none!

Just leave me on my way

On foot I go

Under fallen branches

Running through the woods

Nearly losing a few shoes

Ever near the end

Yet, so far away

At last I find a place

Not quite empty

Dear, and precious liquid

Finding comfort at last

On this wretched trip

Understand my suffering

Never in my life

Did I feel like this

So alive, free

Out there in the world

Most definitely

Everything had turned out okay

Wonder with me

Over this imaginary place

Remember that it does not exist

Don't be fooled by how it looks

See, it is a mask of lies,

Did you feel safe here

In this new place

Remove all doubt

That in here

You will not be hurt,

Once upon a time

Before I knew better

Some of this felt real

Common to me

Even the lies meant something to me

Now I know

Everyone should know

All I need is for people to listen

Not later,

Do you hear me yet?

Really,

Even the madmen think I am crazy

View me as what you will

One day

Later within the future

Thank me, you will,

It's better to laugh

Nothing ever sounded so silly

Go and tell of my theories,

Because I wont,

Use your words wisely,

This is my warning to you

News spreads quickly

On the wings of you demonic angels

To every corner of the earth

Everything is told

Very few is secret

Each time the news is taken in

Not one, but me, believes it

When shall you learn

Of the realms of reality

Right now, never seems propable

There is so much you dont want to hear

How do you live this way

No more, you tire me,

Out of my head,

This debate

I cannot take

Now go, leave me to my thoughts

Give my rest, I did my best.

Which thematic statement is best demonstrated by the events of Shakespeare's The Tempest?
Yuri [45]

Answer:  B) Even in a new place with new people, travelers never escape their old problems.

Explanation:

<em>The Tempest</em> tells a story about Prospero, a magician who was utterly betrayed by his brother and forced to flee his dukedom. Caught in a tempest, he arrives on an enchanted island together with his daughter, Miranda.

The characters in the play have multiple times found themselves in a situation where they could behave in disagreement with their social status. However, they continue to act in accordance with their societal roles. The most obvious example of this is Prospero himself, who is determined to recover his title, although he now rules the entire island and has a servant (Ariel) and a slave (Caliban). Instead of being pleased with this situation, he plots a revenge to regain his title, because this is how it works in his society.

In addition, Miranda and Ferdinand are not intimate even when there is nobody around them, because they are used to controlling their urges. Both Caliban and Stephano and Trinculo do not reach freedom as they are convinced by the society that they belong to a lower class.
