Answers

Answer:

One theme that emerges in Olaudah Equaino's slave narrative is Commerce and Trade. One example of textual evidence to support this is "Equiano is aware of this brutality as he engages in the slave trade of the market for his own benefit. He unarguably has a good reason for wanting to earn money, as it is the only way of procuring his own freedom".

One example of textual evidence to support this is "Equiano's class views come into play again when he finds himself captive in the hands of other Africans. He is horrified by one particular group of people; he sees them as backwards and uncivilized."

Explanation:

The two major themes that is evident in Olaudah Equiano are:

Education and Culture. Notice that the story is rife with references to western education and African culture.

What is a Theme?

Someone please answer

(this is from the book Hatchet)

This is in chapter 11 -- He watches a bird dip into the water and come up with a fish in its beak, and this gives him the idea of trying to catch fish for himself. Brian goes down to the water and looks into the lake. He sees lots of fish, as well as a crayfish crawling through the shallows.

"The damage was devastating! I saw my car lifted right off the ground. d. My dad believed his family was made of stronger stuff."

Answers

Answer:

c. "The damage was devastating! I saw my car lifted right off the ground.

Explanation:

In the sentence above, the author shows that the wind was strong enough to cause disasters and devastating effects in his community, in addition, the wind had a superhuman strength since the author was able to see his car being lifted from the ground. In this way, the author shows the existence of an abnormal wind, much stronger than what we are used to.

With this, the author reaffirms the force of nature and its devastating power, even appearing to be supernatural in some situations.

40 POINTS FOR BRAINLIEST- In at least 100 words, discuss whether or not Chang succeeds in making the reader understand his feelings about leaving China. Explain why you feel he does or does not succeed.

Answers

Answer:

Chang doesn't succeed in making the reader understand his feelings about leaving China. My argument is that; he speaks very little about his life in China by only describing his relationship with his dad in a few lines. The only memories that he carries are those of his father carrying him in his shoulders after supper.

The narrator is more focused on his stay in the new village his family settled in after escaping the war and speaks little about where he came from. This way, he does not succeed in making the reader understand his feelings about leaving China.

Discuss how MLK and the SCLC garnered national support. Why was Harry Belafonte so important?​

Please help ASAP

Answers

Harry Belafonte, a supporter of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the civil rights movement, used his celebrity as a beloved entertainer to garner funding for the movement. In her autobiography, Coretta Scott King said of Belafonte, “Whenever we got into trouble or when tragedy struck, Harry has always come to our aid, his generous heart wide open” (Scott King, 144–145).

Belafonte was born in Harlem, New York, to West Indian parents. As a child Belafonte suffered from dyslexia and left high school to join the U.S. Navy. Like most African Americans serving during World War II, Belafonte was relegated to manual labor.

After his tour of duty, Belafonte returned to New York City and worked odd jobs before beginning his acting career. He studied acting at Erwin Piscator’s Dramatic Workshop at the New School for Social Research. After joining the American Negro Theater in Harlem, Belafonte met Paul Robeson and Sidney Poitier, who became a lifelong friend.

Although best known for his success as a singer and actor, Belafonte continually used his public stature to advance the black freedom struggle. As one of the country’s most popular entertainers during the 1950s, Belafonte appeared with Coretta Scott King and Duke Ellington at the “Salute to Montgomery,” a December 1956 fundraising event in New York. While participating in the May 1957 Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom in Washington, D.C., Belafonte reportedly remarked to a friend: “We play a hit and run game up here. We come down here like this and say our piece and then it’s all over. But the Rev. Martin Luther King has to go back and face it all over again” (Papers 4:373n).

During the 1960s Belafonte continued to provide financial assistance to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, most notably during the Birmingham Campaign. In late March 1963, Belafonte invited prominent individuals to a meeting at his New York apartment, where King and Fred Shuttlesworth discussed plans for the Birmingham Campaign and appealed for financial support to be used primarily for bail money. Without hesitation, Belafonte organized a committee to raise funds for the movement. While King was held in a Birmingham jail, Belafonte raised $50,000, allowing the campaign to proceed.

After King’s assassination in 1968, Belafonte served as an executor of King’s estate and chaired the Martin Luther King, Jr., Memorial Fund. Afterward he continued to support national and international civil rights and humanitarian issues.
