7. What comparisons does Douglass make between the ships and himself?

History
1 answer:
alexgriva [62]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Douglass recalls that he spent his hardest times as a slave during his first six months rented to Covey. Douglass becomes deadened by work, exhaustion, and Covey’s repeated punishments. Douglass loses his spirit, his intellect, his desire to learn, and his natural cheerfulness. Sunday is the slaves’ only leisure time, and Douglass usually spends the day in a stupor in the shade. He considers killing himself, or even Covey, but he is paralyzed by both hope and fear.

Covey’s house is situated near the banks of the Chesapeake Bay, where large ships with white sails travel past. To Douglass, these ships symbolize freedom, cruelly reminding him of his own enslaved condition. Douglass recalls standing on the bank and speaking aloud to the ships, asking them why they should be free and he enslaved. He begs for God’s deliverance and then wonders if there actually is a God. He vows to run away.

The correct option is: "Rapid industrialization"

The twentieth century was characterized by advances in technology, medicine and science; the end of slavery in the so-called underdeveloped countries; the liberation of women in most of the Western countries; but more than anything because of the growing development of the industry, converting several countries, including the United States, into world powers.
