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

English

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.

kotykmax [81]
The poem "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" is an elegy in name but not in form. The whole style and theme of the poem is like of that contemporary odes. It also embodies the meditation on death and as well as the remembrance of death. The trees, beetles, flower, pastures are talking about life. These dispel the word "grave" from mentioning it. Sunset, on the other hand, symbolizes the end
Explanation:
The most obvious and important theme of the poem is 'death'.
The poem starts with varied types of imaging that continue until the fourth textual matter wherever grey mentions the graves for the first<span> time.
</span>
All the imaging<span> describing the atmosphere </span>and also the setting<span> of the waning day, symbolize the transient nature of life and </span>additional<span> the stanzas emphasize </span>foregone conclusion<span> and </span>duration<span> of death.</span>
<span>So the poem's tone is of gloom and </span>disappointment<span> with the Epitaph of the speaker at </span>the top<span>, adding to the mundane </span>feeling<span> of the </span>poem<span>.</span>
