The sentence structure here is complex, given that it consists of a dependent clause, <em>when I get home, </em>and an independent one, <em>I will go directly to bed. </em><em />
Answer:
A woman has three daughters. The older two have no luck at all but the youngest, Nella, is as usual lovely and talented and more or less perfect. She is having a secret affair with a handsome prince who lives many miles away. The two lovers build a glass tunnel that runs under the ground—from the prince’s castle into the princess’s bedroom, so that they might “joy together” without the mom’s knowing it. Every night the prince runs through the tunnel naked to spend time with his young princess.
Nella’s two sisters, who are ugly and evil, learn of the affair and smash the glass tunnel. That night the prince is running so fast to reach his young lover that he doesn’t see the broken glass and the skin all over his body is cut. Because the glass that cut him was enchanted his wounds will not heal. The prince’s father vows that the woman who can find a remedy for the enchanted wounds will be the prince’s wife and if a man heals him he will be given half the kingdom.
Nella is heartbroken upon hearing of her mortally wounded prince, and goes out disguised to at least see him before he dies. Luckily, she overhears two ogres telling each other that the only thing in the whole world that will heal the prince is to smear the fat from their own bodies all over the prince. Nella, pretending to be lost in the woods, begs the ogres to let her into their house. The ogre husband, fancying a bit of human flesh, lets her in eagerly but sadly he drinks so much alcohol that he passes out before he gets to eat her.
Nella quickly gets to work and slaughters him then collects all the fat from his body in a bucket. She makes her way to the prince’s palace. She smears the fat into the prince’s wounds and he is healed as if by magic, then she reveals her identity and the marriage is swiftly arranged. And her sisters? They are burned alive in typical fairy tale fashion, “so that like unto leeches they should purge their blood in the cinders of their wickedness and envy.”
Answer:
Frederick Douglass and Trevor Noah used their personal memoirs to give an insight into how life was like for them to be alive, fighting for their freedom and securing their life. Their personal stories make it easy to relate to the very same people who were used to being discriminated against or subjugated.
Explanation:
Frederick Douglass was an African American man born into slavery. He was passed on from one master to another, during the course of which he also learned to read and write. Later on, he escaped and bought his own freedom, then became an abolitionist to help his fellow African-American people from the clutches of slavery. His book "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave" details his life of being a slave and how he escaped and became free.
Trevor Noah, a comedian is a mixed-race child, born of a black woman and a white man during the Apartheid in South Africa. The government had criminalized mixed-race births, thus making his birth a crime. So, his book "Born A Crime" gives a glimpse of what it was like for him and his mother to survive the system that is against them.
Both Frederick Douglass and Trevor Noah wrote about their life experiences during the very system that is against their existence. Their personal narration about the events and their struggles gave the readers an idea of how it was like to try to find safety and freedom in a land that works to diminish and destroy them. Their books make it easy for people with similar experiences to relate to and gave them encouragement in their struggles. Both books tell a story of survival, perseverance and the will to overcome the obstacles.
