Read this passage from Chapter 1 of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. If the lineal descendants of Ham are alone to be scripturally enslaved, it is certain that slavery at the south must soon become unscriptural; for thousands are ushered into the world, annually, who, like myself, owe their existence to white fathers, and those fathers most frequently their own masters. How does Douglass's allusion to the biblical story of the sons of Ham affect his memoir? It demonstrates that slavery harms both slaves and slaveholders. It condemns enslavement of biracial people. It provides a means for proving that slavery was a just institution because it was dictated by God. It serves to point out that basing the justification of slavery on the story of Ham is unsound.

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

It serves to point out that basing the justification of slavery on the story of Ham is unsound.

Explanation:

The Narrative of Frederick Douglass is a memoir of a slave named Frederick Douglass. In his memoir he shares his experience of slavery and his quest towards freedom from slavery.

In chapter 1, Douglass included the biblical allusion of God cursing Ham and his generation to be slaves. When enslavement was legalized in the 19th century in the South, people began to justify this enslavement by using this scripture and saying that God had made Ham's generation (Blacks) to be slaves by cursing them.

Douglass by including this scripture in his narrative points out that this justification is unsound as  enslavement in the South was done of biracial people. In the South, white owners wouuld ra-pe black slaves and enslave the child born out of that. Douglass also was a biracial slave. Using this allusion, Douglass is stating tha justifying slavery based on the story of Ham is unsound.

Thus the last option is correct.

BRUTUS. I should not then ask Casca what had chanced. CASCA. Why, there was a crown offered him: and being offered him, he put it by with the back of his hand, thus; and then the people fell a-shouting.230 What does the symbol of a crown represent in this excerpt? a position of power the will to live a big ambition the ability to change

Answers

Answer:

A postion of power

Explanation:

Antony has given the crown three times to Caesar but he has always rejected it. This has been noticed by Casca. Casca interpretes this as weak sympton of Caesar's: he is not ready for power. The crow, in fact, reflects power ,because when Caesar tried it on, people cheered and backed him up. However, he has decided not to become king. This event, developed in the excerpt, is what Casca will use to turn Brutus against Caesar .

The crown is a recurring symbol that represents power, nobility, ambition,  and greed. In this excerpt, Anthony offered the crown three times to Caesar, and he refused it each time. The crown itself symbolized Caesar's growing popularity, and because he publicly denied it, it caused the people to shout.

Select the correct text in the passage.At the beginning of Eugene O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon, Robert is portrayed as a dreamer. Which sentence in this excerpt from the play reflects his dream of leaving the farm?

Answers

Answer:

Robert: “What I want to do now is keep on moving so that I won’t take root in any one place”

Explanation:

This sentence said by Robert to his brother Andrew in the beginning of Eugene O’Neill’s play Beyond the Horizon” reflects Robert’s dream of leaving the farm. Before this sentence Andrew says to Robert that he should have gone back to college for completing his studies. But Robert tells him that he left college because their father wanted to save money, and further even if their father had not wanted so, he would have left college because what he (Robert) really wanted to do was keep moving, because he did not like the idea to stay at any one place.

There are some other references too about Robert’s dream of leaving the farm, for example poetry from the poetry book Robert was reading, (read by Andrew) has these lines,

"I have loved wind and light and the bright sea. But holy and most sacred night, not as I love and have loved thee."

But the sentence spoken by Robert himself reflects his dream most clearly.
