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

English

DiKsa [7]3 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.

Which line in this excerpt from Amy Lowell's "Lilacs" emphasizes consonance?
almond37 [142]
<span>
<span>To recognize which line in the excerpt from Amy Lowell's "Lilacs" represented above emphasizes consonance the only thing you need is to read it aloud. It is like when you want to focus on the rhyme of some lines. So, according to this rule, I would say that the first option (A. Heart-leaves of lilac all over New England ) is an example of emphasizing consonance.</span></span>
