Question

"You can choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know"

Who said this quote and what was he referring to?

Elaborate on how influential this man and his writings were on the slave trade and the work conditions during the Industrial Revolution. Make sure you explain what the quote means within your response.

What I got so far: William Wilberforce said, "You can choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know." I believe he was referring to freedom.
It needs to be a paragraph or more! Please!

"Elaborate on how influential this man and his writings were on the slave trade and the work conditions during the Industrial Revolution."

So it's basically telling you to talk about how persuasive he was when he wrote about the slave trade and the conditions of working in the Industrial Revolution. Have you read these writings yet?

Answer 3

I know I said that already steve

Answer 4

Yes I have @AMQ

Answer 5

I am not sure what to write tho

Answer 6

So you can talk about the big words he uses to persuade people to think the way he does. You don't have to jam all of it into one sentence, so you can make a paragraph pretty easily. Since it gives you two topics, you can create 2 sentences for each topic. So since you already have 2 sentences, that'll give you your paragraph.

Answer 7

I don't know what else to write tho x.x

Answer 8

I could put:
The working conditions were absolutely horrible; they were beat many times.
For 1 sentence

Answer 17

@trueangel12312 So what I mean is that you can't talk about it yourself. You have to talk about the author and talk about him. For example, you can say something like, "The author talks about the filthy conditions that people work in to persuade people greatly."

Do you get it now?
