Answer:

Sure.

The ship stops on the way to New Orleans, picking up four more slaves. Among them is a slave named Arthur. Like Solomon and Robert, Arthur is a free man with a family and was kidnapped and sold into slavery. When the ship departs again for New Orleans, the captain appoints Robert as his waiter and Solomon as the overseer of the cooking department. Solomon is also made to distribute food and water twice a day. At night, the slaves are “driven into the hold and securely fastened down.”

Arthur’s story of being kidnapped echoes that of Robert and Solomon, pushing the reader to recognize the widespread distortion of justice that permeates the nation. The slaves are once again compared to livestock, as they are “driven into the hold and securely fastened down” like horses or cattle being kept in the barn for the night.

Racism and Slavery Theme Icon Truth and Justice Theme Icon

A violent storm descends upon the ship, and many of the slaves wish that the “compassionate sea” would drown them, saving them from “the clutches of remorseless men.”  Solomon tells his reader not to judge him for any of his actions that follow in the narrative, writing: “Let not those who have never been placed in like circumstances, judge me harshly.”

1. In the poem Nothing Gold Can Stay, How<br>is the poem organized?​
maxonik [38]

Nothing Gold Can Stay was the reflection of the seasonal cycle of nature. The poem though a short one symbolizes what a Mother Nature cannot hold for long the 'Gold' but respects its value/worth.

Explanation:

In this poem, Robert Frost brings out the deep meaning of how few things that are of high value/worth are not treated properly/not respected for their worth. He talks about how Nature (In the poem, he keeps referring it as 'Her') being the Mother of all subjects on Earth.

He starts explaining about the season with a leaf, its color and how it slowly transforms into a bud, turns into a flower and then eventually, a fruit. This cycle, Frost writes in the most metaphorical way for readers to understand what we need to take an advantage of and what we must value, accordingly.

This poem is a classic example of how humans forget what is worthy as we can find it everywhere and look out for things that we do not have in our surroundings.
