Which sentence from the excerpt best supports this statement? In the story “The Flying Trunk” by Hans Christian Andersen, the me

rchant’s son is a careless and thoughtless character who does not understand the value of money. The Flying Trunk by Hans Christian Andersen (excerpt) There was once a merchant who was so rich that he could have paved a whole street with gold, and would even then have had enough left for a small alley. He did not do so; he knew the value of money better than to use it in this way. So clever was he that every shilling he put out brought him a crown, and so it continued as long as he lived. His son inherited his wealth, and lived a merry life with it.He went to a masquerade every night, made kites out of five-pound notes, and threw pieces of gold into the sea instead of stones, making ducks and drakes of them. In this manner he soon lost all his money. At last he had nothing left but a pair of slippers, an old dressing gown, and four shillings. And now all his companions deserted him. They would not walk with him in the streets, but one of them, who was very good-natured, sent him an old trunk with this message, "Pack up!" "Yes," he said, "it is all very well to say 'pack up.'" But he had nothing left to pack, therefore he seated himself in the trunk.

I would say “He went to a masquerade every night, made kites out of five-pound notes, and threw pieces of gold into the sea instead of stones, making ducks and drakes of them.”

shows that he is oblivious and irresponsible, squandering his money freely and literally throwing it away. It is until he ends up with nothing and no one, does he truly understand how lucky he was. (I don’t know if this is more of a there’s only one answer or it doesn’t matter as long as you support it question but I think it’s the best for the statement:)

what is the connection between American slavery to prejudices against African-descended peoples? why does race persist after abo
olga55 [171]

First Question:

A lot of the prejudices that are commonplace in American society date back to the time of slavery.  

Slavery was often justified as a way of helping African-descended people. The argument was that European-descended people were more civilized, culturally-advanced and technologically driven. This patronizing attitude can still be seen in interactions between people of different races in the US.

Lack of education and illiteracy also contributed to creating a stereotype of African Americans as being less intelligent than other groups and contributed to hiding the difference in opportunities between the two groups.

Second Question:

These prejudices prevail even after abolition for two main reasons. The first one is the fact that prejudices are learned through socialization. Therefore, a child that grows up with prejudiced parents is very likely to maintain those same prejudices.

The second reason is that prejudices often serve the same purpose that they served in the time of slavery, which is to hide patterns of oppression or justify difference in opportunities. It is a useful political tool and because of its convenience people can sometimes be reluctant to let them go.
