WHAT TO THE SLAVE IS THE FOURTH OF JULY?
By Frederick Douglass
Extract from an Oration, at Rochester, July 5, 1852
Fellow Citizens-Pardon me, and allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here to-day What have 1or those I represent, to do with your national Independence Are the great principles of political freedom
and of natural Justice, embodied in that Dedaration of Independence, extended to us? and am I therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits, and express
devout gratitude for the blessings, resulting from your independence to us?
But, such is not the state of the case. I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. I am not Induded within the pale of this glorious anniversaryl your high independence only reveals the immeasurable
distance between us. The blessings in which you this day rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. The rich Inheritance of Justice, liberty, prosperity, and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not
by me. The sunlight that brought life and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mour. To drag a man in fetters into the grand
illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in forous anthems, were inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony. Do you mean, tizens, to mock me, by asking me to speak to dan...
Fellow citizens, above your national, tumultuous Jov, I hear the mournful wail of millions, whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are to day rendered more intolerable by the Jubilant shouts that reach them.
If I do forget, if I do not faithfully remember those bleeding children of sorrow this day, may my right hand forget her cunning, and may my tongue deave to the roof of my mouth to forget them to pass lightly
over their wrongs, and to chime in with the popular theme, would be treason most scandalous and shocking, and would make me a reproach before God and the world. My subject, then, fellow citizens, is
AMERICAN SLAVERY. I shall see this day and its popular characteristics from the slave's point of view. Standing there, identified with the American bandman, making his wrongs mine, I do not hesitate to dedare,
with all my son, that the character and conduct of this nation never looked blacker to me than on this Fourth of July. Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the
conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting
Which of the following correctly explains the main purpose of Douglass's speech(5 points)
To argue that Americans have little to celebrate

To suggest an alternative form of celebration

To imply it is time to develop new American traditions

To explain the effects of slavery on culture





Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

To argue that Americans have little to celebrate

Explanation:

According to the passage, "Fellow citizens, above your national, tumultuous Jov, I hear the mournful wail of millions" Douglas uses the word, "mournful" which means "feeling, expressing, or inducing sadness, regret, or grief". He also uses, "wail of millions". Wail means the desperate cry of practically MILLIONS of people in the world.

All in all, from the following quotations from the text, Douglas's main purpose of his speech was to argue that Americans have little to celebrate.

The correct answer is

B, C, and D. That is:

B) Were the steps completed in order?

C) What could be done differently in the future?

D) Was the expected outcome reached?

Explanation:

Completing the steps in the right order means that the possibility of errors is near zero.

Identifying what can be done differently in the future is a question that seeks to highlight areas of improvement over what has been done.

Whether or not the expected outcome was reached is the litmus test of success for the procedure. It doesn't matter whether or not everything was done right. If the objective was not attained, there is need to find out why. In fact, this question needs to come first before all others.

Depending on the nature of the procedure, the question about who else has completed the procedure may become relevant. An example is in medicine. If a patient indicates that a particular medication has been tried, or a particular surgical procedure has been carried, out before, it helps to narrow the options on the table to the next best possible alternative or solution. Hence making for better decision making.

Cheers.

What do you think would be the most difficult part of being a social worker? How do you think social workers handle this part of the job?

Answers

For many social workers, the answers may vary, but this has been the biggest one for me: Keeping your emotions separate from your work.

It is very easy to see a child in distress and want to do anything in your power to get them away from their current environment. Unfortunately, you cannot just take a child home with you as soon as you see they are in danger. You have to go through a series of processes that can take days, weeks, months to get through or (in the absolute worst case scenario) will never be able to get through. To me, this is the worst part. You feel angry, sad, worried, and many other emotions. But if you let these emotions control how you perform your job, you can not only get in trouble at work--you can get in legal trouble as well. You handle this by understanding that you are doing everything in your power to help this person. Sometimes it keeps you up at night and you may even feel guilty if you aren't able to help the person in need right away. For some people, it is motivation to keep trying harder. For others, it is a very defeating feeling that (understandably) can make them anxious, depressed, or helpless. It is okay to feel worried for the person, it is not okay to blame yourself. Remember, you are doing everything in your power to help someone. Sometimes things do not go in the favor of the person who needs help. That does not make it okay. That does not mean that you should blame yourself. It just means you try again, and keep having your emotions motivate you but do not let them control how you do your job.

Letter to a friend on how to start a garden.

Explanation:

To,

My dear friend Ashley,

I heard that you are planning to get a garden started in your new home. So, here's some of my own take on how to get that done.

First, you must get rid of all the weeds in your garden as these plants will kill the good ones. Dig them out and also choose a place where there's good soil. Good soil will ensure your plants get the best treatment.

And then, you also have to choose what plants you want, while also focusing on the type of pots required. Different plants need different pots. Also, if you're working on planting on the ground itself and not on a pot, then make sure the flowerbeds are regularly weeded.

And most important of all, use fertilizers now and then, though not daily. And also make sure to water your plants daily or they will not grow as they should be.

If, in case, you need any help or anything, do let me know. I may not be an expert in gardening but I do know a few pointers to get it done.

Take care and will see you soon.

 

Love,

Sally.

Answers

The correct answer is B. Dynamic.

Explanation

A character is a main or secondary actor in a story, it can be human, animal, supernatural, or another type. In general, the characters have static personalities throughout a story, for example, villains or superheroes who throughout the story are characterized by maintaining their attitude, actions, and speech. On the other hand, there are dynamic characters who change their speech, attitude, and actions as a result of the story, for example when a villain changes his attitude to become good for the events that occurred during the story. So the correct answer is D. Dynamic.

Which statement best describes the impact of rhetorical
techniques in this excerpt?

Answers

This question is incomplete. I was able to find the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" speech.

I understand the fear of war and the pain of division that afflict this continent-and I pledge to you my country's efforts to help overcome these burdens. To be sure, we in the West must resist Soviet expansion. So we must maintain defenses of unassailable strength. Yet we see peace; so we must strive to reduce arms on both sides.

Which statement best describes the impact of rhetorical techniques in this excerpt?

A. The use of loaded language creates the need for immediate action in Europe.

B. The use of repetition reminds the audience of the obstacles they must defeat.

C. The use of inclusive language emphasizes hope for a better relationship in the future.

D. The use of exclusive language shows the contrast between the two countries.

Answer:

The statement which best describes the impact of rhetorical techniques in the excerpt is:

C. The use of inclusive language emphasizes hope for a better relationship in the future.

Explanation:

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) was the 40th president of the United States. "Tear Down This Wall" is a speech Reagan gave in West Berlin in 1987. The wall he refers to is the Berlin Wall, built with the purpose of dividing Berlin into two sides: one capitalist, the other socialist.

In the particular excerpt we are analyzing here, Reagan is using inclusive language. That is especially evident when he uses the subject "we". "We" is basically the same as "you and I", which means the president was including the West Berlin when he spoke of the actions that must be taken. It is not "we the United States", it is "we, our countries" working together to bring peace and resist Soviet expansion. With that in mind, we can choose letter C as the best option:

The use of inclusive language emphasizes hope for a better relationship in the future.

Write an essay (about 200 words) answer the following topic (the essay should include an introduction, 2 body paragraph and a conclusion): Some people think that sending criminals to prison is not effective. Education and job training should be used instead. Do you agree or disagree?

Answers

Answer:

this is essay ----------

Explanation:

Some people think that some types of criminals should not go to prison. Instead they should do unpaid work in the community. To what extent do you agree?

Owing to the great variety of crimes that can be punishable by prison, some people argue that not all criminals are the same and it would therefore be more appropriate to give certain criminals community service instead. I agree that in some cases, prison may not be the best solution and community service would probably have more benefits.

One justification given for prisons is to keep society safe by removing criminals from the outside world. So the first thing to consider is if someone who has broken the law is a danger to other people. In the case of violent crime, there is an argument to keep the perpetrator away from society. However, burglary or possession of drugs, for example, does not involve violence against other people so the criminal does not present a direct danger to anyone in the community. Keeping these types of criminals in prison is expensive for the taxpayer and does not appear to be an effective punishment as they often commit the same crime again when they come out of prison.

Personally, I also believe punishments should reform people so they do not reoffend. A further reason not to put these people in prison is that they may mix with more dangerous and violent criminals, potentially committing a worse crime when they are released. By keeping them in the community, helping others, they not only learn new skills, but they could also develop more empathy and care towards others. If this occurs, society can only benefit.

Critics of this more rehabilitative approach to crime believe that justice should be harsh in order to deter people from committing similar crimes and that community service could be less likely to have that effect. However, there is very little evidence to suggest that long prison sentences deter criminals.

In conclusion, putting criminals who are not a danger to society in prison is expensive and, in my opinion, ineffective, both as a deterrent and as a form of rehabilitation. Community service for non-violent crimes benefits both society and the offender. That said, it would be useful to have more data to work out whether community service or prison is more likely to stop someone reoffending. I strongly believe that decisions on how best to deal with criminals should be based on evidence of what actually works.

Mr.Jones is a helpful teacher.Which part of speech is Mr.Jones in this sentence​

Answers

Answer:

Noun.

Explanation:

A part of speech is one of the eight "parts" of the speech in grammar. The parts of speech tell us the function of the given word(s), their meaning grammatically in a sentence.

The 8 parts of speech are noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, adjective, preposition, conjunction, interjection, etc.

And in the given sentence "Mr. Jones is a helpful teacher", Mr. Jones is the subject of the sentence, and also a noun, a proper noun as it is the name of a particular person. The word "is" is a helping verb, "a" is an article, "helpful" is an adjective as it describes the objective noun "teacher".

Thus, the correct answer is a noun.
