WHAT TO THE SLAVE IS THE FOURTH OF JULY?

English
1 answer:
Mama L [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The main purpose of the second paragraph is:

C. to impress the disparity of experience between citizens and slaves.

Explanation:

The second paragraph of Douglass's speech emphasizes how different it is to be a white, free person and to be a slave on the Fourth of July. After all, the nation is celebrating freedom. But, as Douglass says, he and the other slaves are "in fetters", so inviting them to celebrate freedom is an act of cruelty, of irony. He makes a point of stating that, emphasizing the disparity between the slaves' and white people's conditions. There is no reason for slaves to celebrate, which means there is no reason for Douglass to celebrate. He, a former slave, knows the pain and suffering he came from. He cannot forget and ignore that thousands of people who are still in that predicament, working to death while being mistreated, beaten, humiliated, or sold as possessions.

Ivan does not say anything because he cannot speak.

After Rainsford comes to Zaroff's door, Ivan answers with a gun pointed at Rainsford. Rainsford tries to talk to Ivan, but he does not respond. When Zaroff comes to meet them he explains that even though Ivan is incredibly strong, he is "deaf and dumb" which means he is unable to hear or speak.

What advice would you give your 20-something self about intellectual wellness? plz be descriptive
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The ability to open our minds to new ideas and experiences. The desire to learn new concepts, improve skills and seek challenges in pursuit of lifelong learning contributes to our intellectual wellness. Say if you want to be a Doctor, or an Artist. You have to go out and learn those things/requirements to become what you want to be and not what other's say what you shold be. Its all about your own mind set and what you think is best for you, you can go out and even be successful at a young age. All I gotta say is.. . Let your mind be free and reach your top goals, if something gets in your way you have to power through them. And keep on going.
