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.

In The Raven by Edgar allen poe Identify the alliteration in lines 45-46.What words are emphasized by using this technique?
quester [9]
Alliteration is when two or more words have the same beginning sound. In the poem there are three examples:
1) Though...thy...thou
2) crest...craven
3) shorn...shaven
Alliteration gives the text a more unified rhythm, in a way I guess. It makes the piece sound more together.

What is the easiest way to take long, complicated notes?
Gala2k [10]
First jot down key points and then take the time to organize it later. The grammar and spelling doesn’t have to be perfect at first, you can always fix it when you organize it.
Separate everything into categories and do bullet points.

For example:
Topic...
1...
a...
b...
2...
a...

Topic 2...


I separate everything into sections. Sometimes color coding helps people understand it better, and it’s worth the extra effort.

I hope this helped :)
