Cutting cane was hard work, but it was nothing like what came next: Piles of freshly cut cane had to be fed into the ever-turnin

g mill wheels, until they were completely crushed. The owners insisted that during the work hours the grinding never stop, no matter what. The mills were most often tended by women who were doing dangerous work while getting almost no rest. That was a very bad combination. An ax was often propped up near the rollers so if a slave closed her eyes for a second while pushing the cane, her arm could be hacked off before she was pulled through the merciless grinders. Guests at sugar plantations often remarked on how many one-armed people they saw. Day after day, week after week, month after month, the cane was cut, hauled to the mill, and fed through the rollers. The mills kept going as long as there was cane to grind—the season varied between four and ten months, depending on the local growing conditions. A visitor who came to Brazil in 1630 described the scene: "People the color of the very night, working briskly and moaning at the same time without a moment of peace or rest, whoever sees all the confused and noisy machinery . . . will say that this indeed is the image of Hell.” In this illustration by William Clark, sugar cane is fed into a mill to be ground. How does the illustration help the reader understand the text? The illustration shows that grinding sugar with mechanical equipment is inefficient. The illustration emphasizes why grinding sugar cane into white sugar is necessary. The illustration depicts enslaved sugar mill workers as completely exhausted. The illustration depicts the people, equipment, and oxen required to manufacture sugar.

Explain how equality between the sexes could be important to social organization
aliina [53]
In order to have social organization, members of the society should be able to get along and be treated with respect.This can't happen without equal treatment of sexes. Both sexes are important in society, especially women.Times have changed and women are making ground breaking discoveries and breakthroughs and thus should be treated the same as men in the world of work and in society. For society to get ahead, society needs to progress and let go of inequality.

Choose a Romantic poem from the nineteenth century that you intend to rewrite in a way that incorporates typically modernist qua
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

When We Two Parted

788-1824

When we two parted

  In silence and tears,

Half broken-hearted

  To sever for years,

Pale grew thy cheek and cold,

  Colder thy kiss;

Truly that hour foretold

  Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning

  Sunk chill on my brow—

It felt like the warning

  Of what I feel now.

Thy vows are all broken,

  And light is thy fame;

I hear thy name spoken,

  And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,

  A knell to mine ear;

A shudder comes o'er me—

  Why wert thou so dear?

They know not I knew thee,

  Who knew thee too well—

Long, long shall I rue thee,

  Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met—

  In silence I grieve,

That thy heart could forget,

  Thy spirit deceive.

If I should meet thee

  After long years,

How should I greet thee?—

  With silence and tears.

Not mine. Quoted from someone else-""When We Two Parted" was written in 1816 by the British Romantic poet Lord Byron. It describes the pain and disillusionment that follow a break-up between the speaker and his lover. Though little detail is provided, it's implied that the original relationship was secret—most likely an extramarital affair—and that the speaker now feels bitter upon hearing about his lover having an affair with someone else. Most scholars believe this poem to be about Byron's relationship with Lady Frances Wedderburn-Webster, a married aristocrat with whom Byron had an alleged affair. She was later rumored to have also had an illicit relationship with the Duke of Wellington—a prominent British military leader—which in turn, the theory goes, prompted the writing of this poem."
