Read this excerpt from Chapter 7 of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass and answer the questio

n.
They both advised me to run away to the north; that I should find friends there, and that I should be free. I pretended not to be interested in what they said, and treated them as if I did not understand them; for I feared they might be treacherous. White men have been known to encourage slaves to escape, and then, to get the reward, catch them and return them to their masters. … I nevertheless remembered their advice, and from that time I resolved to run away.

Which of the following best describes the author’s purpose in this excerpt?

simply to state it because it happened
foreshadowing of when he will escape to freedom
explicit meaning stating how naïve slaves were
entertain with stories of his youth

Answer:

By sympathizing with the young couple.

Explanation:

The whole story is narrated mainly in third person. There are a few times where the narration shifts into first person but the narrator does not seem to be another character in the story and does not expand his view beyond Della's.

What theme is best shown in the following line of dialogue from string?
zimovet [89]

The correct answer is C. Concerning with appearances.

In this play by Alice Childress, the action takes place in a picnic of the neighbourhood block association. The appearance of Joe, a poor, homeless character disrupts the scene, and when a wallet dissapears, suspiction falls on him and they begin to harass Joe.

Even though the play deals with middle-class Blacks accusing a working class Black, the sentence in this case deals with keeping the appearances and respectability associated with middle-class expectations. In the context of these sentence, some of the characters, especially L. V. Craig are already harassin Joe, judging that because he is poor he must have stolen something. Maydelle is the character that keeps saying that kindness goes a long way and trying to de-escalate the situation. Even if they are misjudging Joe and picking on him, with this sentence she is more worried of Doctor MacDonald or the children hearing them loose their temper than with stopping the situation with Joe.

Could you please tell me the main idea about this poem?
andrew11 [14]
Just telling in advance, English is not my forte, lol. I'm a math person. :-)

Anyways, what I'm inferring from the poem is this:

The human body, of course, gets older, but usually the mind of an older person is coherent and wise. Yet, the older body has its own "conscientiousness". A consciousness that understands the body's frailty but knows that it can still accomplish tasks it had once before; these tasks are achieved with the patience of a mule but with the intensity of a lion. Rushing or hastening seem to be incomprehensible... Still, the aged body knows more than it begets. Life happens all around yet there isn't a desire to change what happens. Wisdom and experience has seeped in over the years... Aging... An invaluable awareness that affects everything alive wins in the end over the aged body. Nails, hair, and skincare become obsolete. The old body, free from constraints, expresses the validity of its existence with boldness and courage. The wrinked skin and gray hair, impossible to avoid, but difficult to obtain, outshines the youth the body once had. For once, and only once, boundaries don't exist... Only the hope of sharing the struggles and victories that occur in a lifetime, the experiences unique to the aged body... The hope that the aged body can bestow unto others the gloriousness of the aged body.




Hope that helped. Good luck.
