He tells the ending of the story first, and then explains how it happened so that the reader knows the emotions colonel Owens feels after their escape.
Explanation: Charles Chesnutt gives a general idea of how the characters end up at the beginning of the story so that the reader is aware of where is everything leading up to. He then tells the journey of the Colonel's son and the slave he saved; Grandison, since he looked trustworthy to the Colonel. After a series of events, the author chooses to finally reveal how unfortunate the Colonel feels after catching a glimpse of Grandison and his family escaping on a boat.

Since you are writing a poem, how will you use metaphors? (ASAP!! im timed!!)
aleksley [76]

The independant clause mean the simple subject which says that you can read a part of a sentence that makes a lot of sense. So in this sentence "Since you are writing a poem, how will you use metaphors?"


The dependent clause is the one that makes no sense while being alone. 

In this sentence the dependent clause is Since you are writing a poem.

It makes no sense all alone in one sentence.

Now for the actual question answer is the independent clause. 

The independent clause is how will you use metaphors?

I think that is the independent clause because it really makes sense even though it's a part of the question.
