Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Explain why Bud says that "It's funny how ideas are, in a lot of ways they're just like seeds. Both of them start real small and then ... Woop, zoop, sloop ... Before you can say Jack Robinson they've gone and grown a lot bigger than you ever thought they could"

Answer:

Bud says this to show how a small and insignificant idea became something big inside him, becoming his biggest goal.

Explanation:

Bud explains that the idea of looking for and finding his father was insignificant, small in his subconscious and that he could go unnoticed by other more important and impacting ideas, however, over time, that idea grew and grew until he became the biggest goal of his life. To better explain it to the reader, he makes reference to how a seed so small can become such a large and imposing tree. The seed symbolizes the idea and the tree symbolizes the goal.

HELP ASAP!!!!

Answer:

The answer to Part A would be Ignorant, as the author goes on to state that his youthful understanding had struggled in vain. If someone is ignorant of something, yet they do not take the time to actually go research or learn about that thing, then they would be struggling in vain because they are selfish and not taking time to research what it is that the other person is saying that they do not understand.

For the answer to Part B, I would say that (Frederick) Douglass' new awareness of how owners maintain control over slaves allows him to better understand how to improve his situation. I say this because he seems to have an awakening/epiphany in the very last line: "I now understood what had been to me a most perplexing difficulty".

Explanation:

I hope this helps!

Serhud [2]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

No sooner had the reverberation of my blows sunk into silence, then I was answered by a voice from within the tomb!-by a cry, at first muffled and broken, like the sobbing of a child, and then quickly swelling into one long, loud, and continuous scream, utterly anomalous and inhuman-a howl!- a wailing shriek, half of horror and half of triumph, such as might have arisen only out of hell, conjointly from the throats of the dam.ned in their agony and of the demons that exult in the dam.nation.

Edgar Allan Poe, “The Black Cat”

The dashes in this long sentence set off a series of appositives. (An appositive is a noun or noun phrase placed beside another noun phrase and used to identify or explain it.) What noun explained by the appositives?

Answer:

The noun phrase that is explained by the appositives is:

"a voice from within the tomb".

Explanation:

An appositive offers more information about a noun or noun phrase in the sentence. It can be placed before or after the noun it refers to and, unless restrictive, it can be set off by commas or dashes.

In the excerpt from the short story "The Black Cat", by author Edgar Allan Poe, we have a couple of appositives:

-by a cry, at first muffled and broken, like the sobbing of a child, and then quickly swelling into one long, loud, and continuous scream, utterly anomalous and inhuman-a howl!- a wailing shriek, half of horror and half of triumph, such as might have arisen only out of hell, conjointly from the throats of the dam.ned in their agony and of the demons that exult in the dam.nation.

Those appositives refer to the noun phrase that comes right before them, that is, "a voice from within the tomb." What Poe does here is offer more information concerning that voice, what it sounded like. He does it so thoroughly that we can now vividly hear that inhuman voice in our minds, imagine its force and strangeness.

NOTE: I had to type dam.ned and dam.nation like this because Brainly prevents me from posting the answer otherwise.
