Which parts of this excerpt from Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Ann Jacobs best reflect the theme that slavery disrupted marriage and family structures? My lover was an intelligent and religious man.Even if he could have obtained permission to marry me while I was a slave, the marriage would give him no power to protect me from my master. It would have made him miserable to witness the insults I should have been subjected to. And then, if we had children, I knew they must "follow the condition of the mother." What a terrible blight that would be on the heart of a free, intelligent father! For his sake, I felt that I ought not to link his fate with my own unhappy destiny. like this what do i do with this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im just sooooo stuck and screwed and this is one out of like 100000000 questions im gonna fail it I guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe that the woman is upset because she can't have a happy life with the man she loves, but that's what I see in this paragraph

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

well first ask yourself whats a theme

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they make me pick 2 of thoes sentences soooo, "the marriage would give him no power to protect me from my master. It would have made him miserable to witness the insults I should have been subjected to" are the ones i would pick idk i guess u guys cant really help me i just wanna not fail i hate school

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or maybe because she's a slave, she doesn't have the freedom to have a healthy relationship

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please don't give up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ive tried sooooo hard as hard as I can and in 2 weeks of time I cant complete this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or i think maybe she can't marry because she's a slave

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and doesn't want her husband to have to deal with what's she's going through

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

Well if you feel you can't get help from us is there a teacher that will help you? Even so will still help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get the paragraph but you have too pick 2 sentences in there as the part that "refelcts the theme"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh... ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me read it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

teachers are on spring break with ever normal kid in my hs and im trying to catch up

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

Ok Well we will work this out together we won't leave you.

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

I think the second and fourth sentence best reflect the theme.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe that "Even if he could have obtained permission to marry me while I was a slave" and "the marriage would give him no power to protect me from my master" or maybe even " I felt that I ought not to link his fate with my own unhappy destiny."

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

How do you feel about our answers are they confusing do you need us to explain more.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually no, it's " It would have made him miserable to witness the insults I should have been subjected to" and " And then, if we had children, I knew they must "follow the condition of the mother."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks guys/girls I really apresiate it I'll try it but thanks anyway I wont make it...

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

Is there something your not clear on?

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

Are you sure you want to give up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't give up, try harder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ive been working on this sould be 5 min exercize for not kidding 5 hours...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many questions are there ?

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

Is there anything like study guides suggested to you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 and you have to get 4 out of five right to pass otherwise you have to redo it.. problem is they dont tell you what questions you get rong just thay you didnt pass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I remember I been on a 5 question math test for the entire day until bedtime "10:00pm" I was soooooooooooo mad. I went looking for new schools, which I still am, and trying to hide away from everything. Just read the paragraphs and questions aloud and closely, like I studied math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My school does that. Never show you which wrong or what not

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

well five not bad give us the rest of the questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave: After the valuation, then came the division. I have no language to express the high excitement and deep anxiety which were felt among us poor slaves during this time. Our fate for life was now to be decided. We had no more voice in that decision than the brutes among whom we were ranked. A single word from the white men was enough — against all our wishes, prayers, and entreaties — to sunder forever the dearest friends, dearest kindred, and strongest ties known to human beings. Which cruel realities regarding slavery does Douglass describe? A.Slaves were sold to cruel masters and treated like animals. B.Slaves were treated like property and separated from loved ones. C.Slaves were sold to white people who also bought their families. D.Salves were treated cruelly but were not separated from loved ones.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know seperated from family and treated crappy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B.Slaves were treated like property and separated from loved ones.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So D is out.

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thats what I thought too ok one down 4 to go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd agree with @Soniatonia and @happydeedee

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

Also you kinda answered it yourself you were right see don't second guess yourself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C never happened and D is incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A didn't happen all the time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya i know but Ive been ansering it that way for 6 hours

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe you got it right and you didn't know it, since they don't tell you which ones you get wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Read this excerpt from My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass: She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her of these excellent qualities, and her home of its early happiness. Conscience cannot stand much violence. Once thoroughly broken down, who is he that can repair the damage? It may be broken toward the slave, on Sunday, and toward the master on Monday. It cannot endure such shocks. It must stand entire, or it does not stand at all. If my condition waxed bad, that of the family waxed not better. The first step, in the wrong direction, was the violence done to nature and to conscience, in arresting the benevolence that would have enlightened my young mind. Which of the following sentences best describes Douglass’s opinion about slavery? A.Slavery degrades the slaveholder by killing his or her conscience. B.Slavery prevents slave children from reaching their potential. C.Slavery is degrading to both the slaveholder and the enslaved. D.Slavery makes even the kindest people cruel and heartless.

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

Cross out A and B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c is my thought

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

See you doing great and i agree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Douglass's opinion is degrading to both the slaveholder and the enslaved

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're right @Roliver

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do to but i keep getting every thing wrong i havent passed in 6 hours so its not that Im second guessing im just wrong somewhere

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

How everything you answered sounds about right to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um, quick question Roliver...do you go to k.12?

OpenStudy (happydeedee):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Select the word that correctly completes the sentence: As the flood waters _____, people began to clean up the damage that had been done. abated induced implicated vocation for this I just looked up the defanition and I got A. im a 17 yearold guy in 11th grade in mn

Which parts of these excerpts show that slaves had no legal rights and were often betrayed by their masters? The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave by Frederick Douglass (excerpt) Not a slave was left free. All remained slaves, from the youngest to the oldest. If any one thing in my experience, more than another, served to deepen my conviction of the infernal character of slavery, and to fill me with unutterable loathing of slaveholders, it was their base ingratitude to my poor old grandmother. She had served my old master faithfully from youth to old age. She was nevertheless a slave—a slave for life—a slave in the hands of strangers; and in their hands she saw her children, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren, divided like so many sheep, without being gratified with the small privilege of a single word as to their or her own destiny. Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Ann Jacobs (excerpt) He was a bright, handsome lad, nearly white; for he inherited the complexion my grandmother had derived from Anglo-Saxon ancestors. Though only ten years old, seven hundred and twenty dollars were paid for him. His sale was a terrible blow to my grandmother; but she was naturally hopeful, and she went to work with renewed energy, trusting in time to be able to purchase some of her children. She had laid up three hundred dollars, which her mistress one day begged as a loan, promising to pay her soon. The reader probably knows that no promise or writing given to a slave is legally binding; for, according to Southern laws, a slave, being property, can hold no property. While my grandmother was thus helping to support me from her hard earnings, the three hundred dollars she had lent her mistress were never repaid. last question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wants me to highlight 2 sencences in each paragraph I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"she saw her children, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren, divided like so many sheep, without being gratified with the small privilege of a single word as to their or her own destiny." and " If any one thing in my experience, more than another, served to deepen my conviction of the infernal character of slavery, and to fill me with unutterable loathing of slaveholders, it was their base ingratitude to my poor old grandmother." for the first one i believe
