Why does the author use parallel structure to advance his purpose?

to show the need for slaves and slaves owners to come together to end slavery

to explain why the author disagrees with slave owners about many different issues

to underscore the author's realization that reading and writing are important skills for gaining freedom

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

to underscore the author's realization that reading and writing are important skills for gaining freedom

Explanation:

The excerpt presented in the above question is from the book "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" which is the autobiography of Frederick Douglass, a black man who grew up as a slave. The excerpt shows the moment when, as a slave, Douglass realized how important education was to the freedom of black people. He realized this when one of his "masters" forbade his wife to teach him to read and write, because he believed that education was dangerous for blacks, because it would give them knowledge and power, which were the perfect weapons for them to become revolt against the whites. While the master saw education as something to be avoided at all costs, Douglass realized that education was the most valuable thing he should pursue and this is evidenced by the structure of the excerpt.

“We should kill our parents,” he suggested, for he was the god of war. “It will be difficult, but it is the only way we can truly be free!”
“We cannot do this,” he said. “Rangi and Papa are our parents. They have created us, made us who we are.”
“The Sky Father will watch us from above, while the Earth Mother nourishes us from below.”
“It is impossible!” cried Tû. “We should kill them. There is no other way to be free.”

Answers

Answer:

“We cannot do this,” he said. “Rangi and Papa are our parents. They have created us, made us who we are.”

explain and justify the saying: “To remain ignorant of history is to remain forever a child.”

Answers

If you don’t learn history you are condemned to repeat it. Children sometimes don’t learn and repeat bad things so not learning history is kinda like that.

The quote “To remain ignorant of history is to remain forever a child,” given by Marcus Tullius Cicero, signifies the importance of the knowledge pertaining to the past happenings of which one is to be aware in order to avoid the same mishaps which had caused a catastrophe in the past.

What are Phrases and Sayings?

When one refers to the figurative meaning of a saying or a phrase they direct it towards the derived meaning of the phrase and not the literal one. These derived meanings could have their context derived from the regular events of life or from different cultures.

For example, the above-mentioned saying, given by Marcus Tullius Cicero highlights the importance of having knowledge of the past. If one is unaware of the history then he is bound to make the same mistakes, since he has not acquired any learning which by any chance would averse him from the doing.

So a saying could plausibly be a form of threading of words that when asserted carries a particular context with itself and so one is to catch the context of it and not to take it in the literal sense.

Hence, one can say that Cicero is indirectly insinuating towards- man’s causal deeds, caused by his inability to acquire any past knowledge.

How we describe nick's character in chapter 2? The great gatsby

Answers

Answer:

According to Chapter 2, we can describe Tom as objective, observant, critical and detached from family ties.

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby" is a book that has the power to expose the New York high society as something fascinating and grotesque at the same time, as it oscillates between the prosperity and the decadence of the personal relationships between people.

Nick introduces us to this thought in Chapter 2, where we can have various opinions about high society and about Nick. In this chapter, Nick goes to a party of rich and powerful people, there he shows himself to be very observant, making critical and acidic comments about the individuals who are there. Nick can even see that his cousin's husband, Daisy, is cheating on her with a friend of hers, and he doesn't mind, as he's more concerned with observing everything and presenting his opinions on what he sees.

From the story " The Alchemist ") In medieval times, it was believed that there was a process that would change base metals into gold. An alchemist has the ability to transform things. In the prologue, the alchemist changes the ending of the myth about Narcissus. Narcissus looked at his reflection in the lake every day. But in the alchemist's story, the lake was enjoying its own reflection in Narcissus's eyes. What do you think the author is implying about how we see ourselves and others?​

Answers

Answer:

Narcissus was a disdainful and self centered person.

Explanation:

he didn't stop to look at other people and see them for their insides, he rejected love and loved ones until he found his own reflection in the lake and fell in love with his own beauty, so much so that he didn't take part or notice of the world around him and knelt by the lake every day just to look at himself. (I don't know if this has any bearing but the lake was also in love with its own beauty.) The alchemist on the other hand, paid attention to everyone and everything and wondered about everything. he even wondered about sheep (that passage should be in your story). The meaning portrayed by the Narcissus story in The Alchemist is that people sometimes are too focused on their own beauty and physical things and they lose track of the Soul of the World and the true beauty within the universe.

Select only one of the apostles of Jesus and relate yourself with him​

Answers

I relate the most with the Apostle Peter because he was the closest to Jesus Christ. I find myself very close to Jesus Christ because I obey his established laws and commandments such as “Pay to Caesar what is owed to him and pay to God what is owed to God”. True Christians don’t participate in government affairs like voting. Even if my parents vote, I don’t vote because I know it’s wrong in the eyes of God for I am in favor of the Kingdom of God. This Kingdom promises that will rid of death and sickness as promised by Revelation 21:2-5. God’s Kingdom is a real government established by God.

Also, the apostle Peter was the most curious and outspoken out of the other apostles, he delighted in the words of truth of Jesus Christ. That’s why Jesus had a special love towards this specific apostle. I too am an outspoken and curious person, I delight in the Bible and the scriptures. I am a person that constantly follows Jesus words and puts them into practice, just like Peter.

Answers

Answer:

6.  B. is keeping  

7.  B. had to ask  

8. D. ought to hang

Explanation:

In the given sentences, the correct tenses to use depends on the structure and form of the individual sentences. This means that the use of a certain verb tense will be different for all of the sentences.

The correct tenses for the given sentences are as follows-

6. Apparently, the man across the road is keeping his car after all because he took down the for-sale sign a week ago and he is still driving to work.

Here, the tense used is present continuous tense because the event or action is still occurring in the present.

A: What were you doing at the bank yesterday?

B: I had to ask my bank manager for a loan to repair our house, and luckily, I managed to get it.

Here, the use of the simple past tense signifies an obligation that has to be done, thus the use of the modal verb "had to".

8. You ought to hang your jacket on a clothes hanger and not leave it on the chair. You'll crease it!

Here, "ought to" is a semi-modal verb that signifies a duty, or something that is necessary to be done.

Thus, the correct answers are options B, B, and D.

How does alphabet knowledge connect to children’s later success with decoding?

Answers

Answer:

makes it easier for them to understand

Explanation:

Decoding makes it easier for them to understand.

What is Decoding?

A crucial component of learning to read is decoding. Decoding allows readers to "sound out" unfamiliar words. Decoding some words is impossible.

Learning to "sound out" unfamiliar words is a crucial skill for reading. This ability is known as decoding. You might picture spies and top-secret decoder rings when you hear the word "decoding." That makes sense because writing is a form of coding. In order to represent sounds, symbols (letters) are used.

In kindergarten, children often begin learning how to decode. One-syllable words are first decoded by beginning readers before progressing to lengthier words.

Therefore, Decoding makes it easier for them to understand.

How does understanding the allusion to
the magi help with understanding O. Henry's purpose in writing this story?

Answers

Answer:

The narrator calls Della and Jim "the most wise" for each giving up their most valuable items for each other even though giving up their most precious possession ruined one another's gift.

Answer:

In the story's last paragraph, O. Henry alludes to the Magi in order to contrast their wisdom with that of Della and Jim. The Magi brought expensive presents to Jesus in the manger, but they did not have to make any sacrifices in order to do so.

O. Henry, the pen name of William Sydney Porter, is an American short story writer who is best known for his short tale "The Gift of the Magi." The tale was initially published on December 10, 1905, in The New York Sunday World.The concept that these men went from afar to be in the presence of the greatest gift of God to mankind, His only Son, is implied by the reference to the Magi of the Bible.A well-known literary example of irony is The Gift of the Magi. The irony is a literary device in which the expected conclusion significantly varies from the one that actually occurs. In this instance, Jim and Della give up their most prized items in order for the other to completely appreciate their gift. Jim expects Della to be able to utilize the combs, so he sells his watch to pay for them. To get Jim a chain for his watch, Della sells her hair. Neither party anticipates the other making that sacrifice.Thus, it can be said that in the story's last paragraph, O. Henry alludes to the Magi in order to contrast their wisdom with that of Della and Jim. The Magi brought expensive presents to Jesus in the manger, but they did not have to make any sacrifices in order to do so.
