Item 4 Read the excerpt from Chapter 1 of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. Whether this prophecy is ever fulfilled o

r not, it is nevertheless plain that a very different-looking class of people are springing up at the south, and are now held in slavery, from those originally brought to this country from Africa; and if their increase does no other good, it will do away the force of the argument, that God cursed Ham, and therefore American slavery is right. If the lineal descendants of Ham are alone to be scripturally enslaved, it is certain that slavery at the south must soon become unscriptural; for thousands are ushered into the world, annually, who, like myself, owe their existence to white fathers, and those fathers most frequently their own masters. How does the allusion to Ham affect the meaning of the text? 1. It allows Douglass to discredit using the Bible to justify slavery. 2. It compares slavery in the modern world to slavery in Biblical times. 3. It emphasizes Douglass's desire to be free. 4. It highlights the similarities between enslaved people and those who enslave them.

1. For the people responsible for the development. It says, “Much of that anger is reserved for the forces of development.”

2. It has changed from being naturally beautiful to having lots of buildings and cities. It says, “which have transformed Florida from a quaint tropical postcard where Hiaasen grew up, to urban sprawl, strip malls and skyscrapers.”

3. 450 acres. It says, “developers pave over 450 acres of green space a day.”

4. Oranges and handguns. It says, “We don’t produce anything except, you know, oranges and handguns.”

5. As therapy, so he could channel his anger by making the bad guys get what they deserve. It says, “‘Therapy,’ says Hiaasen laughing. ‘Actually, with the novels, you have this wonderful opportunity to write your own endings—to have the bad guys get not only exactly what they deserve, but in some poetic, you know, miserable way.’”

Btw... for the huge side next to number 1 put He likes the natural side of Florida and is very angry with the people responsible for its development for taking over the green spaces and natural beauty and changing Florida from a tropical paradise into an urban sprawl.
