Answer:

They say that the children of the ones who could not fly told their children. - <em><u>Enslaved African Americans passed down their heritage through stories</u></em>.

They couldn't take their wings across the water on the slave ships. -  <em><u>Enslaved people were crowded onto ships and sent overseas.​</u></em>

Sarah couldn't stand up straight any longer. She was too weak. - <em><u>Enslaved workers were forced to work all day in cotton fields</u></em>.

Say they flew away to Free-dom, - <em><u>Many enslaved people ran away from plantations and fled north to freedom.</u></em>

Explanation:

Virginia Hamilton's "The People Could Fly" is a collection of African folktales that enslaved Africans hold and pass it to their children. These African folktales include tales of supernatural acts, fairy tales, animal tales, etc.

The correct quotation along with the corresponding historical facts are as follows-

1. They say that the children of the ones who could not fly told their children. - Enslaved African Americans passed down their heritage through stories.

Through the passing of the stories by those unable to "fly away", stories became the means of passing down their heritage to the future younger generations.

2. They couldn't take their wings across the water on the slave ships. - Enslaved people were crowded onto ships and sent overseas.​

The image of the people unable to use their wings across the water shows the historical event where slaves were brought by ships and then sent overseas, far from their homes.

3. Sarah couldn't stand up straight any longer. She was too weak. - Enslaved workers were forced to work all day in cotton fields.

The picture of Sarah unable to stand up straight shows how the slaves were made to work till they physically can no longer stand straight and have become extremely weak.

4. Say they flew away to Free-dom, - Many enslaved people ran away from plantations and fled north to freedom.

The image of flying to "freedom" shows the flight of many slaves escaping from their masters, from the plantations to the North where slaves were free.

What was happening in the United States in the 1930’s that may have influenced Lange’s documentary photography? Explain your cho
Anton [14]

In the early 1930s, Lange, mired in an unhappy marriage, met Paul Taylor, a university professor and labor economist. Their attraction was immediate, and by 1935, both had left their respective spouses to be with each other.

Over the next five years, the couple traveled extensively together, documenting the rural hardship they encountered for the Farm Security Administration, established by the U.S. Agriculture Department. Taylor wrote reports, and Lange photographed the people they met. This body of work included Lange’s most well-known portrait, “Migrant Mother,” an iconic image from this period that gently and beautifully captured the hardship and pain of what so many Americans were experiencing. The work now hangs in the Library of Congress.

As Taylor would later note, Lange’s access to the inner lives of these struggling Americans was the result of patience and careful consideration of the people she photographed. “Her method of work,” Taylor later said, “was often to just saunter up to the people and look around, and then when she saw something that she wanted to photograph, to quietly take her camera, look at it, and if she saw that they objected, why, she would close it up and not take a photograph, or perhaps she would wait until… they were used to her.”

SOVA2 [1]
I would say that the principle means of characterization employed by the author is dialogue. Since Romeo and Juliet is a play, everything we know actually comes from the conversations, be it a dialogue, or a monologue.
