Read this passage from Walden by Henry David Thoreau.

English
1 answer:
ZanzabumX [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D. Thoreau regrets conforming to the expectations of others.

Explanation:

The figure of speech he is using is irony - he says that he <em>behaved so well </em>even though he considers that behavior to be bad. His neighbors, or rather the people around him, behave a certain way that Thoreau doesn't really approve of. However, in order to conform, or fit in with the rest of the society, he behaved in the same way they did, which made him disgusted and want to repent after having betrayed his ideals.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass- How does Frederick Douglass dismantle the master’s house using the master’s tools?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

By learning how to read and write

Explanation:

One way that Frederick Douglass dismantles his master’s house was through learning how to read and write. Even though this is an expression and he did not physically dismantle his master’s house, Frederick Douglass “dismantled” it because since he knew how to read and write, he had new ideas and was more aware of what was happening around the world. He found out what he can actually do with that new ability and he tried to break free from his master’s control and captivity. He used learning to read and write to his advantage. He read so many books and learned many new things, and he even shared it to his fellow slaves that could not read or write so they could be aware of what Fredrick Douglass learned and that brought up new ideas. Since they had new ideas that have been learned from learning how to read and write, they started in a way rebelling more and questioning why they were like that while in other parts people were not like this. In the future that caused a couple fights and rebellion and they ended up “dismantling the master’s house” because they ended up getting their freedom and they were not in captivity anymore.

The slave went free; stood a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again toward slavery." W. E. B. DuBois​
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Even though the slave was free, he was not treated that way.

Explanation:

Not every black person was a destitute sharecropper. In spite of the endemic racism of the south, there was room for some blacks to rise into the middle class by learning specialized trades, or by creating businesses that served the black community. In a few of the cities, such as New Orleans, Nashville, and Charleston, there were communities established that allowed some chance at autonomy and prosperity.

PLEASE HELP, WILL MARK BRAINLEST
Leto [7]

Answer:

"Most bewildering," "small white bulb"

Explanation:

I found the answer by using answer elimination. For "most bewildering," we can see that Muir is questioning the flower and looking at it carefully. This is a step of the scientific method, asking questions and making observations.

As for "bed of yellow mosses," I found this to be written in a more poetic way. This is a metaphor, saying the moss is a 'bed of moss.' There is definitely nothing scientific about that observation.

"Small white bulb" is descriptive. There is nothing fancy or exciting about that phrase, it is simply describing it the way it is, much as a scientist would. It sounds to me like a passage from a book on botany.

When I read "utmost simple purity," I found this as a somewhat religious observation. If not, it would surely be a poetic attempt, to romanticize the flower.

"Cried for joy" would not be a scientific observation. Never have I heard a researcher state that they cried for joy upon realizing that the effects of too much caffeine cause hallucinations. This would be a distraction from the study and has no place except in a seperate interview.

Hope this helps!
