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

English
1 answer:
jeka57 [31]3 years ago

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.

Luden [163]
<span>
The school buses lined up like tanks on the battlefield. Obviously the school buses are not tanks and the school is not a battlefield. But in this occasion, the metaphor is used to describe the school as a battlefield, in that there are police forces keeping the angry people from attacking the black students, who are entering the buses to be taken home. (Buses being armored like tanks)

What is the biggest lesson we can learn from the<br> Holocaust? 5-7 sentences
FrozenT [24]

Holocaust was also known as the Shoah that happened between 1941 - 1945. Back during the World War II Hitler's troops killed some six million European Jews who lived in the Nazi occupied Germany and German concentration camps.

The Holocaust was a genocide done by Hitler and his troops. Thus taught us we have responsibilities to prevent such kind of genocides in the future and present.

Whatever it is, what mistake people would have done, sometime we need to go by the justice. No has the right to kill another life in this world.
