Read the two passages from Sugar Changed the World. Knowing that their slaves were likely to die by the time they reached their

thirties, Louisiana sugar planters were extremely selective—they bought only healthy-looking young men in their late teens. On average, the men purchased in Louisiana were an inch taller than the people bought in the other slave states. Those teenagers made up seven to eight out of every ten slaves brought to America's sugar Hell. The others were younger teenage girls, around fifteen to sixteen years old. Their job, for the rest of their short lives, was to have children. Elizabeth Ross Hite knew that, for sure, "all de master wanted was fo' dem wimmen to hav children." Enslaved children would be put to work or sold. The overseer S.B. Raby explained, "Rachel had a 'fine boy' last Sunday. Our crop of negroes will I think make up any deficiencies there may be in the cane crop." That is, a master could sell any slaves who managed to live, if he needed more money than he could make from sugar. Jazz was born in Louisiana. Could it be that a population of teenagers, almost all of them male, were inspired to develop their own music as a way to speak, to compete, to announce who they were to the world? Bomba in Puerto Rico, Maculelê in Brazil, jazz in Louisiana—all gave people a chance to be alive, to be human, to have ideas, and dreams, and passions when their owners claimed they were just cogs in machinery built to produce sugar. The sugar workers in Hawaii were not enslaved—they chose to come. But they still lived hard lives: Hawai'i, Hawai'i I came seeing the dream But my tears now flow In the canefields When the Africans were brought to work in sugar, they had to form new families, learn new languages—they had to find ways to blend their new lives with what they recalled from their homelands. The holehole bushi hint at one way sugar workers have always found strength and comfort: My husband cuts the cane I carry the stalks from the field Together, the two of us We get by Which statement best explains how the authors develop their claim across the two passages?

Review the poem dream variations by langston hughes which thought is implied by the poems first four lines
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The thought that is implied by the poem's first four lines is: the speaker wishes to live a carefree life.

Explanation:

Let's first take a look at the lines we are analyzing here:

<em>To fling my arms wide</em>

<em>In some place of the sun</em>

<em>To whirl and to dance</em>

<em>Till the white day is done.</em>

There is no way to know if the speaker is male or female, young or old. It could be Hughes himself, but it could also be a child. The description is quite childlike: "to fling my arms wide" is something children are more likely to do. But, imagine an adult, oppressed, hardened by prejudice and struggle, who finally achieves his dreams. To finally be free of worried, of fear, and of injustice. Wouldn't that adult feel like a child again? Carefree and happy?

That is what the four lines above seem to emphasize. The speaker wants a carefree life. He or she wants to play, to dance, to laugh his days away.

Match the bolded words in these lines from James Joyce’s story “Araby” to their synonyms. Use clues from the context in which th
ss7ja [257]
1. impinge = strike
The word impinge can have various meanings, but in the case above, it means to strike. When 'the rain impinge[d] upon the earth,' it means that it started raining, the rain started striking the earth. To impinge means that something starts, and usually something negative.

2. garrulous = loquacious
The word garrulous refers to someone who talks excessively, likes to talk a bit too much, and usually about something trivial. Loquacious is a fancy word to denote the same thing, although it has a more positive connotation - it refers to someone who can speak nicely.

3. pious = religious
The word pious comes from the Latin word pius, which means dutiful. So when English took this word from Latin, it added a different suffix (-ous), and gave it the meaning of being 'dutiful to God.' So nowadays, pious refers to someone who is devoutly religious.

4. ruinous = dilapidated
The word ruinous refers to something which is in ruins, which is falling apart. The word which means the same thing is dilapidated - both of these words are usually used to describe buildings that are very old, and derelict, and are practically in ruins.
