For this, I'll just say you chose "word watcher". I think I read maybe the first few chapters in this book last year. This book was actually quite confusing to me. I guess it was just the names that threw me off. Here is a sample off what you can say:
There are many details from this story that are worthy to share in a literary discussion. For this story, I chose word watcher as my character role. Using my role, I would discuss the different names and their meanings for a literary discussion. In the story, the author used different names. For example, the main character's name was "moon shadow lee". My reading role greatly helped me better understand the story. Rather than skimming through the book, I was able to slow down and recognize the different words and names the author uses. For example, the main characters father, "wind rider" was a kit maker. "wind rider" was a good name for him, because it really described, what he does and aspires to do. <span />
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
1. The social norm in the plantation particularly the Wye House plantation in Maryland is considered to be a slavery environment, which was full of cruelty, with slaves working too hard and being treated unfairly. A simple mistake may lead to slaves been transferred to another plantation in a faraway state.
This was evident in the story told by Frederick Douglass in one of his autobiographies about Colonel Lloyd and his encounter with one of his boy slaves. Similarly, Frederick Douglass was also sent away from the Wye House Plantation to work on another farm in Baltimore.
2. At Baltimore, slavery was still rampant during his time, as he was serving as a slave. Though not as cruel as that of Wye House Plantation he was still subject to heavy work. It is in Baltimore he began to learn how to read thanks to the religious undertone in his Master's house and plantation. He started learning how to read the Bible there. He eventually ran away from Baltimore because of slavery.
3. At New Bedford, the social norm here is that the people are generally considered free and living better. There is a high standard of living in the town. Even Federick observed that some laborers are living a better life than many slave owners in the Southern part of the United States at the time. In New Bedford, Massachusetts, the social norm is also considered to be the absence of slavery.
Well, the first example that I can think is when Rainsford is standing on the deck of the yacht at night and he hears a gunshot. Trying to get a clearer look, Rainsford loses his balance and falls into the water. Rainsford doesn't try to swim back to the yacht (which is smart, as it would have been futile). The narrator states that "a certain coolheadedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place". Because he was able to stay calm, he was able to swim to Ship Trap Island.
Later on, after General Zaroff had released Rainsford into the jungle, Rainsford kept telling himself repeatably "I must keep my nerve, I must keep my nerve". One final example is how Rainsford is able to keep calm during the hunt and think of ways to trick Zaroff. "An idea that held a wild chance came to him, and, tightening his belt, he headed away from the swamp".
Donne is using both personification and apostrophe in these lines. He is using apostrophe when he speaks to death as though it were a person who could hear it and respond to him. he also personifies death as if it were a person who could feel proud or be "mighty" and "dreadful".
Metaphors are where two things are being compared without the use of like or as.
the metaphors from that excerpt would be: “the manacles of segregation”, “chains of discrimination”, “lonely island of poverty”, and “ocean of material prosperity”
