A short paragraph that shows the cause and effect chain that leads to Douglass feeling tormented

English
1 answer:
jeka57 [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

1.   The mistress’s initial kindness had a greater effect because it was during that time that she taught Douglass to read, an event which had enormous impact on his life. He acknowledges this when he says, “Mistress, in teaching me the alphabet, had given me the inch, and no precaution could prevent me from taking the ell.”

     

2. People are fed and sustained not only by food, but also by ideas and understanding.

     

3. Effect: Douglass finds vindication for his belief that slavery is wrong. Effect: Douglass “was led to abhor and detest” his enslavers. Effect: Douglass comes to feel that learning to read had been a curse rather than a blessing.

     

4. He thinks that if he were an animal, he wouldn’t have the ability to think and worry about his circumstances. Now that he can read, Douglass is tormented by his constant thoughts about his life as a slave and the impossibility of freedom.

     

5. He regards slaveholders as “a band of successful robbers” and as “the meanest as well as the most wicked of men.”

     

6. Douglass’s purpose is to express his thoughts and feelings about being enslaved and about the effects of literacy. He relates three events that help him achieve his goal: his mistress teaching him to read, his further pursuit of instruction from “all the little white boys,” and the acquisition of certain reading materials that encouraged his own thoughts and feelings about slavery.

Answer: A

Personally I would say the answer is A, but the definition of slender is literally "gracefully thin," so you could argue it's both A and B. Maybe it's something to take up with your teacher.

Read this excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin. Following a visit to the ruins of Karnak near Theb
masya89 [10]

Answer:

c: Champollion was amazed after seeing Karnak

Explanation:

Jean-François Champollion was a French linguist most famous for his work on Ancient Egypt and for deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics.

In this excerpt we can clearly see signs of deep admiration and fascination Champollion had towards Egyptian culture, society and especially architecture.

That can best be seen from his sentence: "No nation on earth, ancient or modern, has ever conceived architecture on so noble and vast a scale".

This diary entry suggests that he was extremly amazed at the sight of Karnak.

What is it most likely reason “The Monk’s Tale” is full of parables?
jonny [76]
Some literary critics believe that a large portion of the tale may have been written before the rest of the Canterbury Tales and that the four most contemporary figures were added at a later point. A likely dating for this hypothetical first draft of the text would be the 1370s, shortly after Chaucer returned from a trip to Italy where he was exposed to Giovanni Boccaccio's Concerning the Falls of Illustrious Men as well as other works such as the Decameron. The tragedy of Bernabò Visconti must have been written after 1385, the date of the protagonist's death. The basic structure for the tale is modeled after the Giovanni Boccaccio's Illustrious Men, while the tale of Ugolino of Pisa is retold from Dante's Inferno
