Read the excerpt from "What the Black Man Wants." [W]hen any individual or combination of individuals undertakes to decide for a

ny man when he shall work, where he shall work, at what he shall work, and for what he shall work, he or they practically reduce him to slavery. [Applause.] He is a slave. That I understand Gen. Banks to do—to determine for the so-called freedman, when, and where, and at what, and for how much he shall work, when he shall be punished, and by whom punished. It is absolute slavery. It defeats the beneficent intention of the Government, if it has beneficent intentions, in regards to the freedom of our people. How does Douglass appeal to the audience’s sense of logic in the excerpt?

If the options are: 

<span>by using his own personal experiences to gain their trust

by recounting emotional events to evoke sadness 

by explaining the reasoning behind his argument

by describing how he plans to effect change in the US

Then the correct answer is C. by explaining the reasoning behind his argument. His reasoning is that a free person should be able to decide for themselves. The logic behind this reasoning is that it is impossible to call someone a freedman, and yet make all the decisions about his life, and choosing whether to punish him or not, and how. If that is what the government wants, he implies, then it does not want black people to be really free.</span>

Give three examples of how the author gives a sense of Jem's character in the first chapter. Discuss the author's use of verb mo
Zarrin [17]
Unlike Atticus and Calpurnia, Harper Lee does not give us a paragraph describing Jem. Instead we must learn about his character through his actions and speech. Sometimes Scout will use a descriptive sentence for her brother's character but mostly the reader learns about him as the story progresses. Many of Jem's statements in the first chapter are written in the imperative mood. For example, he says, "Don't blame me when he gouges your eyes out." By using the imperative mood, Harper Lee shows Jem to be older and seemingly the leader of Dill and Scout. The use of the indicative mood in Jem's dialogue also shows his stubbornness as a leader. When Dill is pressuring him into touching the house of Boo Radley, Jem says, "I'm going...don't hurry me." Even though Jem is worried about what may happen when he touches the house, he stays in control of the situation by using both the indicative and imperative mood in this sentence. Jem is also seen as the protector of Scout. When Jem is hesitant about making Boo Radley come out of the house because he fears for his life, Scout notes, "Besides, Jem had his little sister to think of." It is clear from this sentence, that Jem looks out for Scout which shows that he is a protective, responsible older brother.
