Equiano describes an incident in which the white sailors catch some fish, eat their fill, and then toss the uneaten fish back into the sea, instead of offering them as food for the starving Africans. Those Africans who tried to get some of the discarded fish were flogged. Why do you think the sailors acted this way? What does it say not only about how they felt about a resource such as food but also how they felt about the Africans on board? Your response should be at least 150 words.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

During the time of the slave trade, slaves on board boats were treated harshly. Take the hold, for example, the part of the ship designated for the slaves. Here, hundreds of slaves would be crammed together in terrible conditions, and dozens would die as a result of this. Slaves were treated as tools or items, not as people. Below deck, these Africans would starve because of terrible food conditions. Furthermore, those who tried to get away with theft were flogged. Uneaten fish would be thrown overboard, even though there were starving slaves right below them. They most likely did this to tease the poor slaves. They toyed with them at the fact that they are unable to eat proper meals. This tells us that the sailors on board had a surplus amount of food, were taking it for granted. The fact that they wasted food demonstrates how pig-like they were, discarding the meals they did not eat. We can tell that they did not like the Africans who were on board, and treated them like animals. As ruthless as it was, the sailors teased the slaves about their lack of food and wasted meals like it was garbage.

This is 199 words I believe, so hopefully this helps.

Then he went boldly to Jupiter and begged him to give fire to men, that so they might have a little comfort
through the long, dreary months of winter
As he was walking by the shore of the sea he found a reed, or, as some say, a tall stalk of fennel,
growing, and when he had broken it off he saw that its hollow center was filled with a dry, soft pith which would bum
He called some of the shivering men from their caves and built a fire for them, and showed them
how to warm themselves by it and how to build other fires from the coals.

A. Simile B. Metaphor C. Hyperbole D. Personification E. Alliteration

Answers

Answer:

Alliteration

Explanation:

the B sound is constantly used

Answer:

This is alliteration

Explanation:

Simile is when you compare two things using the word 'as'. For example:

"I'm as hungry as a horse" or "I'm as beautiful as an abstract artwork"

Metaphor is when you describe on thing as another using the word 'is'. For example:

"She is a fierce tiger" or "He is a walking dictionary"

Hyperbole is when you exaggerate or emphasize a statement. For example:

"I'm so hungry I'm going to DIE" or "It's hotter than the sun today"

Personification is when you give inanimate objects personalities or other human qualities. For example:

"The creek giggled a pretty little song on that warm spring day" or, if you watch Disney micky mouse, Pluto is a non personified dog, whereas Goofy is a personified dog. You can probably spot the differences =P

And Finally, Allitertion is using words that begin with the same sound. For example:

"Billy bob bends over to button his big budging bag"

Deep Respect

When you look at the context of the sentence, he is displaying a great deal of respect in the man in life and also in death. the only other answer i see that makes sense is a sense of great pity, that one can easily be ruled out because pity is more of a feeling of regret or feeling bad for someone, in this case it is more admiration than empathy.

Describe what Mathilde might write in her diary about her feelings when she
reflects on losing the necklace. Does she feel guilty? Regretful? Ashamed? Sad?
Angry?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Mathilde Loisel is the main character in Guy de Maupassant's short story "The Diamond Necklace." At a certain point in the story, Mathilde loses a necklace she borrowed from a friend. Since she believes the necklace to be made of real diamonds, she thinks she has lost something extremely valuable.

If Mathilde were to write in her diary about her feelings when she reflects on losing the necklace, she would probably be mostly angry and regretful. She would be angry at herself for not having been more careful, after all she was wearing something that did not belong to her. She would also be regretful to have even borrowed the necklace in the first place. If it weren't for her vanity, she wouldn't be in this situation. Mathilde does not like her lifestyle because she wishes she had more money so that she could buy fancy things. It was that desire that led her to borrow the necklace.

consequences of violating Jim Crow laws

QUICK PLSSS

Answers

Answer:

Some of the consequences if African Americans did not comply with the Jim Crow laws could be severe. If African Americans disobeyed Jim Crow laws could face fines, arrest, spent time in prison, aggression from white people and the police that sometimes could mean the death of the African American people.

One example could be the way African American people were treated during the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956.

Let's remember that this Jim Crow law severely impacted the lives of black people in the South because this racist legislation denied access to quality education, restricted their right to vote, and African Americans had poor public facilities.
