The sentence which suggests that Patrick Henry believed British rule in the American colonies was tyrannical is:
"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts."
Patrick Henry in his famous speech “Give me liberty, or give me death!” says that there lies a correct time to attain peace. He uses his power of persuasion to keep his thoughts before people. According to him, he would rather opt for death than to be a slave of any other people. He adds that his freedom can never be counted on materialistic terms. No one has the right to buy anyone's freedom. He can either opt for war or die in order to attain freedom.

Hello there!
Part A.
Connotative meaning is the emotional or cultural meaning that you give to a certain term. In the narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, the connotative meaning that the author gives to the word "warmly" in the second sentence should be "quietly and seriously".
<em>Argument:</em> Since Mrs. Auld does not know how to treat a slave -because she has never had a slave before- wants to teach Douglass how to read. She assumes that he is warmly urged to learn, but nobody hears him screaming for a better life.
Part B.
The effect that the author uses within the word "warmly" in this passage is that Mr. Auld feels strongly that Douglass should not learn to read.
<em>Argument:</em> When Mr. Auld notices that his wife is teaching Douglass how to read, he gives her a lesson. He said to her that teaching a slave how to read is forbidden and illegal, and he stands out the point that if slaves start knowing the basics such as reading, they would not want to be slaves anymore and people like them -Mr. and Mrs. Auld- would not have servitude.
