Answer:

He characterized the American Negro Slave as unique of all the black slaves of the world because his identity was impossible to trace unlike the other slaves like the Haitians who could trace their origin to some African kings.

Explanation:

James Baldwin in Paragraph 17 of his essay, 'Stranger in the Village', mentioned that the American Negro Slave was unique of all the black slaves in the world because while the other Slaves could still trace their identities down to somewhere, the American Negro Slave could only trace his identity to the bill of sale which was the entrance paper of his forebears into the American society.

Some Haitians could trace their origin to some African kings but that was quite difficult for an American Negro slave to do. Thus, came his search for his identity within the American society.

Which parts of this excerpt from John Bunyan's The Pilgrim’s Progress show that the central character is devoutly religious and
Maurinko [17]
In my opinion, these parts show that the central character (Christian) is devoutly religious and God-fearing: <span>Because I fear that this burden is upon my back will sink me lower than the grave, and I shall fall into Tophet [Isa. 30:33] And, Sir, if I be not fit to go to prison, I am not fit, I am sure, to go to judgement, and from thence to execution; and the thoughts of these things make me cry. Christian has experienced first-hand that life is cruel and difficult. It would be far too easy to give up on life and embrace death, but he also knows that there is one thing worse than death, and that is hell. If he were to give up, he would end up in hell. So, he is willing to go down the path of salvation, with the help of Evangelist. This part also shows it: </span><span>Whither must I fly? It means that he is humble enough to obediently follow the path that Evangelist shows him. "The Pilgrim's Progress" shows us a central character who is weak and pliable just like most of people. He often errs and goes astray, and it's his humility and commitment that give him enough courage to follow Evangelist's guidance.</span>
