English

PolarNik [594]3 years ago

The author portrays Theseus as a flawed human being. In early adventures, Theseus proved that he was a 'hero' but it wasn't until he slew the minotaur he became a legend, the living embodiment of braveness. However the author also made sure to mention that he deserted Princess Ariadne and even killed her father without much thought in order to allow the reader to understand that this so called hero although brave is far from perfect.

Hope this helps!

il63 [147K]

Answer: Both men use their past experiences to show readers that they persevered and became accomplished readers and writers.

Explanation:

The first passage is from <em>"Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery " </em>(1791), a book written by Ottobah Cugoano. The author describes his experience of being taken as a child and sold into slavery.

In the first excerpt, Cugoano describes that, when he saw people who read and write in England, he wished to learn to do it himself. Once he learned to read and write, the author continued to educate himself.

In the second excerpt, from <em>"Letters of the late Ignatius Sancho, an African", </em>written by Ignatius Sancho who was born as a slave, the author describes his experience of serving in a family where they judged ignorance. However, when he was placed in a better family, he began to enjoy reading.  

It is evident that both authors never gave up reading, and thus became quite successful as writers as well.
