What is ironic about the following passage from narrative of the life of fredrick Douglass in 1832

History
1 answer:
WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: His master is crueler after finding religion than he was before.

Explanation:

Douglas considered his master as a cruel man. His master once went out for a christian camp meeting and in the course of the meeting, he surrendered his life to Christ. Due to this, Douglass hoped that this religious transformation would result in his master being less cruel toward his slaves, and this didn't turn out to be the case, rather the master became more cruel.

This is an irony, because Douglass experienced the opposite of his expectation. An irony is the expression of one's meaning by the use of language which normally signifies the opposite, usually for emphatic or humorous effect.

Why is it a bad idea to have only one person in charge of a government
defon

if only person was in charge of a government, it would gradually convert into a dictatorship, simply because there are no other branches of the government to keep the executive government in check. This is why governments have three branches, to make sure power is balanced. Two branches and even four branches wouldn't work because of uneven balances in power.
