  Bob and Tessie's personas may me considered very different, as Bob seems a person that is very proud of his success and Tessie looks like a simple person, acting unpretentious. Their behavior can be based and figured out by the following paragraphs:

  • In "After Twenty Years"

<em>   “You were successful in the West, weren’t you?” asked the cop.</em>

<em>   “I surely was! I hope Jimmy has done half as well. He was a slow </em>

<em>mover. I’ve had to fight for my success. In New York a man doesn’t </em>

<em>change much. In the West you learn how to fight for what you get.”</em>

  • In "The Lottery"

 "<em>Clean forgot what day it was," she </em>(Tessie) <em>said to Mrs. Delacroix, who stood next to her, and  they both laughed softly. </em>

<em>  "Thought my old man was out back stacking wood," Mrs. Hutchinson went on.   "and then I looked out the window and the kids was gone, and then I remembered it was the twenty-seventh  and came a-running." She dried her hands on her apron, and Mrs. Delacroix said, "You're in time,  though. They're still talking away up there.</em>"

  The difference of Bob and Tessie's situation was that Bob had his freedom threatened, as he was arrested for committing a  crime, but instead of being immediately arrested, he has the opportunity to meet his friend (even if by this time he doesn't know the first police man is his friend) and his friend has mercy on him, calling other man to do the arrest ; Tessie, on the other hand, has been the "winner" of a "death lottery" in which with no crimes or bad attitudes she has been chosen out of luck to a death sentence. Immediately, the city, which at first seem so friendly, has no mercy at all and even her family engage on the stoning.

  Bob feels <u>surprised</u>, as he discovers that his old friend does not look the same person he made the appointment 20 years before; That can be inferred  in these excerpt of the final paragraphs:

<em>   "  </em>The man of the West <u>stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away</u><em>. </em>

<em>    "You're not Jimmy Wells!", </em>he said, "<em>Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man's nose!" "</em>

   As for Tessie, the feeling she has is the feeling of being<u> wronged</u>, as if the whole lottery has been <u>unjust</u> and she is not supposed to be the one who's the "winner". This feeling starts when her family has been drawn  from the black box of papers:

  <em>"People began to look around to see the Hutchinsons. Bill Hutchinson was standing quiet, staring down at  the paper in his hand. Suddenly. Tessie Hutchinson shouted to Mr. Summers. "You didn't give him time  enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn't fair!"</em> "

  And she continuously feels the situation more unfair as she draws the paper with the black spot and finally prepares herself for the popular stoning.

 

  I hope you may be able to fill in your chart with these informations!

Answer:

I GOTCHUUUU :))

Explanation:

For all of the causes that made the French Revolution occur, there were reasons behind them as to why they happened. The causes were Bankruptcy of the government, influence from the American Revolution, and political inequalities. The government became bankrupt because Louis XIV and Louis XVI spent way too much money. Louis XVI had a plan to improve, so he wanted to eliminate all of the ministers who wanted to launch financial reform. Because of that, it led them to being bankrupt.

The French was influenced by the American Revolution. Because of America's success, it encouraged the French to fight for freedom.

Because of political inequalities, the nobles took advantage of not having to pay taxes, having freedom, etc. The middle class, peasants, and artisans worked very hard and actually had to pay taxes. They were not allowed to let out their opinions about political topics. Not everything was fair for everyone.

What do the slave traders do with the slave that jumps overboard? in Olaudah Equiano ​
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

   

Explanation:    

"I believe there are few events in my life that have not happened to many," wrote Equiano in his Autobiography. The "many" he refers to are the Africans taken as free people and then forced into slavery in South America, the Caribbean and North America.  

Along the west coast of Africa, from the Cameroons in the south to Senegal in the north, Europeans built some sixty forts that served as trading posts. European sailors seeking riches brought rum, cloth, guns, and other goods to these posts and traded them for human beings. This human cargo was transported across the Atlantic Ocean and sold to New World slave owners, who bought slaves to work their crops.

European traders such as Nicolas Owen waited at these forts for slaves; African traders transported slaves from the interior of Africa. Equiano and others found themselves sold and traded more than once, often in slave markets. African merchants, the poor, royalty -- anyone -- could be abducted in the raids and wars that were undertaken by Africans to secure slaves that they could trade. The slave trade devastated African life. Culture and traditions were torn asunder, as families, especially young men, were abducted. Guns were introduced and slave raids and even wars increased.  

• The Slave Trade (Biard)

• The Slave Trade (Morland)

• Nicolas Owen

• Slaves Offered in the Market

• Slave Caravans on the Road

Slave caravans  

After kidnapping potential slaves, merchants forced them to walk in slave caravans to the European coastal forts, sometimes as far as 1,000 miles. Shackled and underfed, only half the people survived these death marches. Those too sick or weary to keep up were often killed or left to die. Those who reached the coastal forts were put into underground dungeons where they would stay -- sometimes for as long as a year -- until they were boarded on ships.

Just as horrifying as these death marches was the Middle Passage, as it was called -- the transport of slaves across the Atlantic. On the first leg of their trip, slave traders delivered goods from European ports to West African ones. On the "middle" leg, ship captains such as John Newton (who later became a foe of slavery), loaded their then-empty holds with slaves and transported them to the Americas and the Caribbean. A typical Atlantic crossing took 60-90 days but some lasted up to four months Upon arrival, captains sold the slaves and purchased raw materials to be brought back to Europe on the last leg of the trip. Roughly 54,000 voyages were made by Europeans to buy and sell slaves.

Slaves packed like cargo between decks often had to lie in each other's feces, urine, and blood.

Africans were often treated like cattle during the crossing. On the slave ships, people were stuffed between decks in spaces too low for standing. The heat was often unbearable, and the air nearly unbreathable. Women were often used sexually. Men were often chained in pairs, shackled wrist to wrist or ankle to ankle. People were crowded together, usually forced to lie on their backs with their heads between the legs of others. This meant they often had to lie in each other's feces, urine, and, in the case of dysentery, even blood. In such cramped quarters, diseases such as smallpox and yellow fever spread like wildfire. The diseased were sometimes thrown overboard to prevent wholesale epidemics. Because a small crew had to control so many, cruel measures such as iron muzzles and whippings were used to control slaves.  

slave ship

Over the centuries, between one and two million persons died in the crossing. This meant that the living were often chained to the dead until ship surgeons such as Alexander Falconbridge had the corpses thrown overboard.  

• Interior of a Slave Ship

• Insurrection on Board a Slave Ship

• Slave with Iron Muzzle

• Living Africans Thrown Overboard

• Alexander Falconbridge's account of the slave trade  

While ships were still close to shore, insurrections of desperate slaves sometimes broke out. Many went mad in these barbaric conditions; others chose to jump to their watery deaths rather than endure. Equiano wrote of his passage: "Often did I think many of the inhabitants of the deep much happier than myself."
