Answer:

She was a free young woman.

Explanation:

Harriet Jacob's "Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl" is a memoir that provides a narrative in the life of a slave woman. The book delves into the system of slavery, and how Linda( protagonist and a pseudonym for Harriet) had to endure hardships and obstacles to be united with her family amidst her fight for personal freedom and family life.

Mrs. Hobbs is the cousin of Mr. Sands, the father of Linda's children. In chapter XXVII, Mrs. Hobb's letter to Linda's grandmother revealed that Linda's daughter Ellen was <em>"given"</em> to her, to be <em>"[her] little waiting maid"</em>. She went on further to state the condition of Ellen's 'presence' in the Hobbs' house, revealing:<em> "I shall send her to school, and I hope someday she will write to you herself."</em>

This shows that Ellen was 'given' to Mrs. Hobbs but that doesn't mean she is a slave and Mrs. Hobbs liked to believe that she is rather a free young woman while still under them.

*HELP ASAP* How did the fall of communism affect the countries of Eastern Europe describe its effects on at least two countries
Vsevolod [243]

The fall of communism in Eastern Europe saw a lot of changes in most of the countries in this region. We can take Macedonia and Serbia as examples, both being former members of Yugoslavia.

After the fall of communism, Macedonia gradually started to change its economy towards market economy, which took six years, unfortunately with lot of corruption involved in the process. Serbia, on the other hand, being led by an extreme nationalist, got involved in war and initially was not so much focused on changing as much as it was for getting new territory.

Both countries turned to parliamentary democracies. Both of them experienced war, Serbia with NATO, Macedonia with terrorist groups from Kosovo in the western part of the country. Both of the countries started gradually moving into a direction to become westernized, as well as trying to get into the organization like NATO and EU, moving away from the ''East'' politically and economically.

Lot of reforms have been done so far, and the societies have been constantly changing, as well as the politics, and it seems that both countries will enter the aforementioned organizations and finally move forward.

In no less than four sentences, discuss at least three reasons that African nationalism grew in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Marysya12 [62]

After the II war, the African Nationalism emerged late 1940s and early 1950s  because three main reasons: The first one was that nearly two million African soldiers who were part of the II war (1939-1945) were discontent after coming back to the colonial states to be treated as slaves. The second reason was that Kwame Nkrumah father of the Pan Africanism, influenced the African Nationalist leaders  against the colonial rules to reach freedom and finally the third reason was to maintain the unity among them after the rejection of colonies which oppressed African Nationalist.
