Seize

  • To captivate: To seize someone with charm or to attract and hold the interest and attention of someone.
  • Captive: One who has been seized and enslaved.
  • Captor: One who seizes and enslaves.
  • To capture: To seize or to get possession of something or someone, usually a criminal.
  • Capacity: The ability of something, like a box, to take a number of things or persons into it.

Read this excerpt from Franklin's Autobiography and answer the question that follows. Then I walked up the street, gazing about
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Comical

Explanation:

The tone of this excerpt can best be described as comical. In this passage, we learn about the way Benjamin Franklin behaved when he was in Philadelphia. As he comes from Boston, he is not aware of many of the social rules that regulate this other colony. This is obvious when he goes to buy bread. As he arrives to the bakery, he asks for a type of bread but realizes that they do not sell it. This happens again with a different type of bread. Not knowing what else to ask for, he asks for three-penny worth of bread, which turns out to be an enormous quantity. This means that he has to walk down the street while carrying three great puffy rolls, which leads to a comical and ridiculous experience.

The teacher in my class said, "do you guys feel like we achieved full equality with regards of race?
damaskus [11]
The answer is very simple: no. No, we have not achieved full equality with regards of race. No, we should not feel like we have achieved such a thing. But, everyone’s answers will vary. Some might think that we have, some might think that we haven’t (which is the most intelligent answer, it shows that some people aren’t naive and/ or living in their own little world,) and some might not even care. Many forms of discrimination still exist in the world we live in today. Why would anybody “feel” as if we’ve already achieved any sort of equality when people (not all) are still going after others for something as simple and the color of their skin? Their culture? The country they’re from? The real question is; will we ever TRULY achieve equality?
