History

Answer:

While a child on Colonel Lloyd’s plantation, Douglass wasn’t subjected to much hard labor, and only had to perform a few chores. He also managed to befriend the master’s young son, Daniel, whose affection for Douglass gave the slave some small benefits. However, Douglass still suffered greatly from hunger and cold. The slave children are fed cornmeal mush from a shared trough, and only the strongest manage to eat their fill; Douglass’s linen shirt does nothing to protect him from the cold. His saving grace is a small bag used for carrying cornmeal, which he steals from the mill. He sleeps on the floor with his head and upper body in the bag; the frost causes his exposed feet to develop large fissures.

Douglass’s friendship with the master’s son affirms that slaves and free whites can interact on an equal footing. That such interactions happen between children shows how slavery is not intrinsic, as white slave owners would suggest, but rather something learned and enforced by an unjust society. In addition, this glimpse of equality between children only exaggerates the outrageous inadequacy of the living conditions Douglass endures.

At age seven or eight, Douglass is sent away from the Lloyd plantation in order to live in Baltimore with Mr. Hugh Auld, the brother of Captain Thomas Auld. Douglass leaves joyfully, and eagerly cleans himself up in order to receive a pair of trousers. Douglass is immensely excited to see the big city, and for several reasons feels no sadness about leaving the plantation. He feels no attachment to the Great House Farm as a home, in the way that many children might feel towards their childhood homes. Moreover, Douglass is confident that everything he finds in Baltimore will be better than what he leaves behind at the Great House Farm; his cousin, Tom, has stoked his enthusiasm by telling him at length of the city’s majesty.

Answer:

<em>He believes  that his  stay in Colonel Lloyd's plantation would have made him remain a slave, but in Baltimore he believes he would not remain a slave and for him moving down there is a gift from God.</em>

Explanation:

Douglass considers his move  to Baltimore as a blessing in disguise . If he had not been taken away  from Colonel Lloyd’s plantation at that time, Douglass he had the believe that, he would still be remain a slave, rather than a man writing his autobiography. while sitting freely in his house.  

Douglass perceived  that he may seem as self‑centered or  superstitious to suppose that providence had a hand in his delivery to Baltimore, but the feeling is still strong and true.

From is first memory, Douglass remembers sensing that he would not be a slave for long. this sense gives him belief in hard times, and he thinks of it as  a gift from God.

Describe the culture at Cady’s school (look at definition of culture to help answer)?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Find explanation below.

Explanation:

Culture refers to the social behavior, or life style of a group of people. Cady Heron in the film 'Mean Girls' was a young woman who had spent sixteen years of her life in Africa where her parents worked on a research. On moving back to America, Cady was registered in North Shore High school. The culture in the school was that of Class distinction, and segregation on the bases of race, beauty and wealth.

A cliche known as the<em> Plastics</em> were a group of three girls who domineered over others in schools. The criteria to belong to the group was being extremely pretty. Such an environment was strange to Cady who had been home-schooled by her parents. Initially she was bullied on arriving the school.Then she became friends with two girls who educated her on what happened in the school as well as the different classes.

Cady's extreme beauty became a threat to the Plastics<em> </em>who eventually welcomed her to the group. Cady's link between the lower and higher classes resulted in the eventual downfall of the Plastics.

Where would you expect to find most US factories at the turn of the century? Why?
Aliun [14]

The late 19th-century United States is probably best known for the vast expansion of its industrial plant and output. At the heart of these huge increases was the mass production of goods by machines. This process was first introduced and perfected by British textile manufacturers.

In the century since such mechanization had begun, machines had replaced highly skilled craftspeople in one industry after another. By the 1870s, machines were knitting stockings and stitching shirts and dresses, cutting and stitching leather for shoes, and producing nails by the millions. By reducing labor costs, such machines not only reduced manufacturing costs but lowered prices manufacturers charged consumers. In short, machine production created a growing abundance of products at cheaper prices.

Mechanization also had less desirable effects. For one, machines changed the way people worked. Skilled craftspeople of earlier days had the satisfaction of seeing a product through from beginning to end. When they saw a knife, or barrel, or shirt or dress, they had a sense of accomplishment. Machines, on the other hand, tended to subdivide production down into many small repetitive tasks with workers often doing only a single task. The pace of work usually became faster and faster; work was often performed in factories built to house the machines. Finally, factory managers began to enforce an industrial discipline, forcing workers to work set--often very long--hours.

One result of mechanization and factory production was the growing attractiveness of labor organization. To be sure, craft guilds had been around a long time. Now, however, there were increasing reasons for workers to join labor unions. Such labor unions were not notably successful in organizing large numbers of workers in the late 19th century. Still, unions were able to organize a variety of strikes and other work stoppages that served to publicize their grievances about working conditions and wages. Even so, labor unions did not gain even close to equal footing with businesses and industries until the economic chaos of the 1930s.
