"You who eat three times a day and see your children well and happy around you cannot understand what a starving Indian feels! We were faint with hunger and maddened by despair. We held our dying children and felt their little bodies tremble as their soul went out and left only a dead weight in our hands. They were not very heavy but we were faint and the dead weighed us down. There was no hope on earth. God seemed to have forgotten."

Answer:

The tone created is that of despair and sadness.

Explanation:

According to paragraph 8 of Red Cloud's speech after wounded knee, he decries the killings of Indians and tries to explain how weak and tired his people were, seeing their young ones dying in their hands.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

1) The correct answer here is D)

 

Explanation:

The simile that compares the boat to a bucking broncho strengthened the tense mood.

Paragraph 9 reads:

The boat "pranced and reared, and plunged like an animal" repeatedly over "walls of water" repeatedly.

The simile communicates great danger to the reader of the possibility of the boat to crash or capsize at any given moment as it slams against the waters and into the huge waves before them.

2) The correct answer is D)

Explanation:

The phrase "<em>The mind of the master of a vessel is rooted deep in the timbers of her</em>" alludes that the Captain of the vessel regardless of how long they have commanded such vessel.

3)   The excerpt which confirms the relentlessness and indifference of the ocean is given below

"<em>A particular danger of the sea is the fact that after successfully get­ting through one wave, you discover that there is another behind it. The next wave is just as nervously anxious and purposeful to overturn boats.</em>"

Cheers!

what are three actions that kashyap argues brands should take to improve conditions for their workers​
sveta [45]

This question is about the article "When Clothing Labels Are a Matter of Life or Death".

Answer:

Promote visibility, extinguish subcontracting, pressure from investors.

Explanation:

In the article Kashyap shows how the clothing and footwear manufacturing industries have been one of the biggest centers of disrespect for human rights, causing workers to work exhaustively, earning few wages and being subjected to inhospitable environments and with little security.

For Kashyap, there are three processes that can prevent this from happening and can improve the lives of these workers. These processes are the transparency of the companies that consume the products of these industries, showing how the entire production process is, the extinction of subcontracting, which subjects workers to inhuman conditions of employment and pressure from investors who can charge for better working conditions.
