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?
Both passages share historical details to support the claim that the lives of sugarcane workers in different countries were essentially the same.
Both passages use facts and details to support the claim that sugar workers in different places used music to express themselves and relieve the pressures of brutal work.
Both passages use facts and details to support the claim that sugarcane was the most powerful economic force throughout the world.
Both passages include historical details to support the claim that songs allowed owners to recognize the importance of enslaved people’s cultures.

Q.2. You are Rajesh/ Rohini. Write a letter to the editor of 'The Hindustan Times’ complaining against the people in your locali
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

                                                                                        The Editor,

                                                                                        The Hindustan Times,

                                                                                         India.

                                                                                        13th July, 2020.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

LETTER OF COMPLAINT AGAINST PEOPLE IN MY LOCALITY.

I, Rajesh wish to use this medium to register my displeasure and complaints against people living in my locality, Jodhpur. It is with great sadness that people do not see the need to obey this lockdown initiated by the government due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

People are hosting parties everyday, the youths are playing football and volleyball on the streets everyday. Also, the women, would gather in the garden and would be chatting all day without any social distance among them. All these actions by people seems to create the impression that, they never believed that Coronavirus is real and dangerous. They assumed that, the deaths annoced by the government is false.

I wish to request that, police and government officers in charge of lockdown to be sent to our locality. This would help to enforce the lockdown. And, heavy fines and punishments should be given to people caught in my locality who are not obeying the lockdown inorder to serve as a deterrence to others.

The earlier this was done, the better for all of us in that locality. We would not like a situation whereby the locality would become an epicenter of the disease due to people's carelessness and lack of obeying the simple order.

Yours Sincerely,

Rajesh.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is an exceptional book published on 16 October 1950. The story is about four children who are taken out of London to avoid the Blitz and went to live with a professor in his large house. Living there, they discovered a wardrobe that led to a secret passageway to Narnia.

Similarly, in 1941 children were taken out of East London to escape the effects of World War II. These children came from different families and consolidated with one another in times of need.

 

The theme of the book and real-life events has striking similarities. The children in the book bond with another world to escape the realities of life while, the wartime children made friendships with each other to ease their frustration.
