Leya [2.2K]3 years ago

Answer:

to underscore the author's realization that reading and writing are important skills for gaining freedom

Explanation:

The excerpt presented in the above question is from the book "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" which is the autobiography of Frederick Douglass, a black man who grew up as a slave. The excerpt shows the moment when, as a slave, Douglass realized how important education was to the freedom of black people. He realized this when one of his "masters" forbade his wife to teach him to read and write, because he believed that education was dangerous for blacks, because it would give them knowledge and power, which were the perfect weapons for them to become revolt against the whites. While the master saw education as something to be avoided at all costs, Douglass realized that education was the most valuable thing he should pursue and this is evidenced by the structure of the excerpt.

How do Lines 8-9 contribute to the overall meaning of the poem ? “No Man Is An Island”
velikii [3]

Answer:

The final lines of the poem rightly reassert the importance of community and how no man can be left alone to survive on his own, away from other humans.

Explanation:

In his poem "No Man is an Island", metaphysical poet John Donne talks of the importance of a community/ social interaction for humans to be sane and civilized. No man living alone and away from other humans can survive on his own, irrespective of what may have been presumed.

The lines 8-9 of the poem reads <em>"And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee"</em><em>,</em> which perfectly presents his point home by generalizing the death toll that is ringing for anyone. It could be for you or for me, but that's the uncertainty of life, for we know not when we will all die, but we will die one day, that is a certain fact. Being part of a society or among people is needed for a man to thrive and survive. And one day, the bells will toll for thee. These final lines perfectly resonate the important theme of how man is a social being, and not to be left alone/ living alone. These two lines reassert the importance of man's social dependency on others, his inability to be self sufficient and his need to be in the company of others.
