...he that was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied
============================================================
Explanation:
Frederick Douglass is describing the horrific conditions of what kind of food he ate and the conditions in which he had his meals. At the start of the paragraph, he describes the food itself (a corn meal called Mush). Then later on he describes how the food was served in a very degrading inhumane way (the food being served in a trough; effectively treating them as animals). Shortly after, he goes over how the food was eaten through a variety of means: use of oyster shells, shingles, or bare hands. None of which involves the regular utensils you'd expect such as a spoon.
At the very end of the excerpt, Frederick Douglass mentions that "He that ate the fastest got most; he was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied". This effectively means that even though the food itself was horrible, and the conditions degrading, people were still hungry and had no other choice. Also, even the people who were able to eat the most weren't truly/fully fed.
So in short, the last part of the excerpt describes that the slaves weren't fed enough. If we could narrow down the cited evidence as much as possible, the portion that mentions "few left the trough satisfied" is the thing you should focus on.
The repetition of the word “whirl” creates a sense of "intensity".
"Oread", one of Hilda Doolittle’s best-known lyrics, which was first distributed in the issue of BLAST in 1914, serves to outline this early style well. The title Oread was included after the piece was first composed, to propose that a nymph was ordering up the ocean. Here is the short poem, (One of my favorites);
Whirl up, sea—
whirl your pointed pines,
splash your great pines
on our rocks,
hurl your green over us,
cover us with your pools of fir.
If you look at a map of the Nile, you'll see it has a bunch of tributaries (Lake Victoria, Lake Kyoga, Lake Albert and Lake Tana) but those aren't where it ends, that's where it begins. The Nile River flows north because of the elevation, and it ends up in the Mediterranean Sea.<span />
<span>Historical fiction is a type of literature which is told in various media. These are stories that are based on true historical events and are set in historical place and time. But some characters of a historical fiction may not have existed in real historical setting. Some are just added to spice the plot up and twist the story for the better. There can also be added dialogue and scenes that can be extra parts of the story. However, its entire essence and historical value are still intact. </span>
