This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read 12 Years a Slave, by Solomon Northrup

How many lashes does Epps’ mistress tell Solomon he will get for learning how to read and write?

Answer: 100

Explanation:

When Mistress Epps gave him a list of items to buy from Bartholomew, she noticed that Solomon was able to read. Solomon confesses he can read, but claims he can´t write and seems protective of any information regarding his education. The Mistress then reminded him that he was not to do anything besides the tasks commanded to him, and anything besides that (including reading and writing) would get him one hundred lashes.

Mice21 [21]

In the poem "To an Athlete Dying Young" by A.E. Housman, the author talks about an athlete who dies at the height of his popularity and success. Most people find this situation sad, as the man was very young and most likely had much to live for still. However, the author argues that such a death does not necessarily need to be tragic. He tells us that the fact that the athlete died young means that he will forever be remembered as a success, and as the best version of himself.

This relates to the quote, as the quote also states that a death is only meaningful if a person is forgotten. However, as long as a person is remembered, the person is immortal. This means that the death is meaningless, and that glory can save a person from death.

Answer:

I have two

Explanation:

1.Oh! Great Leader Gandhiji

We all call you ‘Bapuji’

Oh! Father of our Nation

You made a Sensation

When you got us Independence

Without any violence

Oh! Great Leader Gandhiji

You practised law in South-Africa

And told the British to Quit India

And fought for India’s freedom

Without any weapons

Oh! Great Leader Gandhiji

You told the Indians to

Burn Pardeshi and buy Swadeshi

To make salt you went to Dandi

You made cloth with Khadi

We must thank God

For this devoted man

Whom I remember every time

In my short life span.

2.

It was vacation, and I had nothing to do;

I was at home and mummy daddy too;

My glance caught a sketch, of an old person;

He appeared to be the gentlest under the sun;

Strikingly, different was the expression in his Eyes;

Suddenly I felt guilty of all my lies;

His lips parted in a smile , so pure

He left me spellbound that's for sure

"Who is he dad?" was my question

"Come on, don't you know?" "was his reaction

He is the one who has set us free;

He is the one who has planted the tree;

He is the one, who was bold enough;

Firm and stubborn but never rough;

Truth and non-violence is what he taught

Same were the principles for which he fought

Preaching and practices for once were the same

His deed were worth name and fame

I have never seen a soul, so tall;

Oh dad; he appears to be the father of all

"You said it, child" said my dad

'Bapu' is the name he always had

I saw the sketch again and again,

His returning smile was my greatest gain,

October 2nd was the day my friends

That certainly changed my life's trends
