Why does Theophilus Freeman refuse to sell emily berry to Northup's master?

English
1 answer:
Nadusha1986 [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

He refuses to sell Emily because he has malefic plans for her and knows that Northup will not contribute to these plans.

Explanation:

Theophilus Freeman is a cruel, greedy and unscrupulous man, unlike Northup who shows himself as an honorable and kind man, even with slaves. Northup offers a price to buy Emily and her mother, preventing the two from being separated and allowing them to have a better life. However Theophilus Freeman refuses to sell, because he does not believe that slaves should be treated well and because he has other plans for Emily. He wants to sell her when she is older and when she is already a woman with a well developed body, so that she can be sold at a higher price to a man who has a desire for her.

The above question is about "Twelve Years a Slave." A book that takes place in 1841 and shows the sad reality of slaves and the inhuman ways they live. This book also addresses the danger of being a free Negro, the corruption of slavery, the fragility of slave women in relation to their masters, brutality, separation of families, among other themes.

Review of the Movie “Adventures of TinTin”
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Tintin arguably serves as a better Indiana Jones 4 than Kingdom of The Crystal Skull. The score, cinematography, and progressively intriguing plot make this film such a joy to watch. There’s whimsical action for the children (which bars few holds on the more gritty/dangerous side to adventuring) and the storytelling is done in such a way that people of all ages would find it hard not to be captivated. The visuals alone make this movie so much more than it probably ever dreamt of being. Never before had I seen such clearly cartoonish characters which I saw feasible of meeting in the real world. Every pore and hair follicle was met with such vigorous attention to detail, and yet these characters unmistakably resemble their respective source material. I was thoroughly taken aback at every turn of this movie, and the near photorealistic CGI certainly made it that much more fun to watch. A must-see for any fan of Speilberg’s finest work!
