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.

How do Maria Elisa's and Mami's views on money compare?
tia_tia [17]

Their opinions are compared when they both agree that money should be spent on important things. However, they disagree on what is important.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Maria Elisa wants to buy a gift for her favorite teacher.
  • She believes this is very important, as Christmas is a time to give gifts to loved ones.
  • Because this is an important time, she wants to buy a special gift, as she believes the money should be spent on important and special things.
  • Mami agrees that the money has to be spent on important and special things, but she doesn't believe that giving someone a gift is important.

Mami likes to save money and likes to buy cheap and simple gifts, leaving the money for when an emergency arises.

This question is about "A Present For Mrs. Robertson."

What do you think about this Story in Humanities ?
ziro4ka [17]

I think this story is told in a witty an interesting way since it started where it should have finished with the funeral of the main character to create intrigue. Emily was somehow weird when the story said that there was hair on the pillow which meant that she slept next to him when he was dead.
