What parallels,or similarities,so you see between the books Douglass reads and his own life?

DiKsa [7]2 years ago

Frederick Douglass was a former slave who, after becoming a free man, was an abolitionist, a writer and an orator. He was only able to learn how to read at age 12 and he would read whatever he could find: poems, newspapers, books, political pamphlets... He also owned a private library at home. Douglass believed that what he could learn from books could never be taken away from him - it would make him more aware and knowledgeable and that meant freedom to him. That said, this is the main parallel between his old life (as a slave), his new life (as a free man) and the books he read (which would enable him to learn new things on a daily basis): all those situations mentioned above meant freedom to Douglass.

Bas_tet [7]
Hi, the correct answer would be D - vacuous. A doesn't make sense, why would it be a Catholic conversation? B - "incipient" means "emerging, beginning to develop", so it doesn't fit here. C - omnipotent, means "having unlimited power". Thus, the only logical answer would be vacuous, meaning "lifeless, inanimate", which leads to it becoming tiresome.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Easy

Explanation:

The one universal thing that makes people the same is that we all originated in modern day Africa, meaning we are all African. Which means there is no white and black, no lower and no higher. So, everyone is basically the same person here. Even though we have different faces, colors, backgrounds that all doesn't contribute to our distinctive homes. You can't call someone African just because they look brown or black you can call someone African because they were born with you in modern day Africa.
