Answer:

In the second paragraph of the excerpt above, Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of the novel, writes the entire paragraph as one sentence. This gives the paragraph importance. It draws attention to itself and she is telling us that the information is important. In the second paragraph, she writes "Then you shall be courteously entreated to call and examine, and shall find an abundance of husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and young children, to be "sold separately, or in lots to suit the convenience of the purchaser;". " Instead of calling them "slaves", She calls them "husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and young children," By doing so, she humanizes the enslaved people. She reminds the readers that this was happening to real people. By humanizing them, she makes she puts un in their shoes. She reminds us that if this atrocious act can be done to other people, it can also happen to us. By calling them "husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and young children,", she is relating to the theme of slavery vs. family.

Read the excerpt from "Civil Disobedience."
Natali [406]

D.could imprison him but could never confine his soul.

He says in the excerpt, "As they could not reach me, they had resolved to punish my body". He shows that the government was not able to change his mind or his opinion about paying taxes, so they had to punish his body by imprisoning him. The excerpt goes on to compare it to children. When they cannot hurt a person emotionally, they go after the person's dog instead. This is also a transcendentalist view because it separates the mind from the body as two different entities.
