The theme of the oval portrait is Fatal love, the wife in the story loves an artist but he loves his art. so by the time he was done it happened that she had died by his side.
For admire as an example you would take away the e and then add ing (admiring)
Hope this helps and a brainliest answer would be great i just need 1
I feel like he's saying, when slaves came to America, they weren't welcome to all the holidays, they were whipped instead of celebrated (on this day particularly), and then the day finally comes when they get to celebrate the Fourth of July but they can't really celebrate it because too much bad stuff happened that day. He's been saying why should anyone celebrate it when they know slavery was going on at that time. Now Douglass was an African American and this is his perspective. If you ask a Caucasian what they did that day, they will have a different story. That's what Douglass means when he says, "The story of most nations is difficult to catalogue." I hope this helps! :)
