Answer:

Foreshadowing

Explanation:

This is most likely to be an example of foreshadowing. In this passage, Miss Ophelia is worried about the possibility of Topsy being sold if her owner were to die. This is why she wants to own her as soon as possible and thus ensure her well-being. This is an example of foreshadowing because the owner will indeed die shortly, and the scenario will take place, except that it will be other slaves who are sold, and not Topsy.

Compare the Code of Hammurabi and the Hebrew laws of the Covenant in Exodus. How are the Commandments structured and worded comp
lord [1]

Answer:

Both laws have  striking similarities, but they also exhibit other differences as explained in the following

Explanation:

Both laws have  striking similarities, but there are also vast differences. And the differences show how one is far superior to the other.

In the similarities both are sets of laws designed to help society function in ways so that it could prosper, and these laws contained particular civil rights.

They both share in the protection of marriage, family, property damage, injury, murder, robbery, theft, kidnapping and even in commerce, so they both act as stabilizers of society. 

Here are some differences between both.

The source of the Book of the hebrew Covenant is God; the source for the Hammurabi laws is Hammurabi the Babylonian king in ancient Mesopotamia. The hebrew Covenant protects the disenfranchised members of society, regardless of their place or rank in society, while the Code of Hammurabi is interested only in the free men class and gives special protection to the middle and higher social classes of Babylon. Another difference  was the fact that God was interested in creating a kingdom of priests, a holy nation in the hebrew law, but Hammurabi’s motivation is for prosperity and longevity on the throne.

What significance did mansa musa likely attach to his pilgrimage? how might egyptians, arabs, and european have viewed it?
LuckyWell [14K]

Mansa Musa probably viewed his pilgrimage as fulfillment of a obligation of his faith. He perhaps also saw it as an adventure and an opportunity to advance his prestige and legitimacy as a ruler both at home and in the larger Islamic World.

 

To the Egyptians, all the gold brought by Mansa Musa must have drawn much attention, even though it may have caused depression of gold prices. The willingness of his followers to pay over the odds for goods must have thrilled merchants and traders.

<span>

To the Arabs, his devout completion of the hajj pilgrimage rituals in Arab would have strengthened the notion that he was a devout Muslim. His effort to recruit Sharifs for his Kingdom could have strengthened his image as a devout ruler.

 

Since Europeans had no direct contact with Mansa Musa, their view of him was probably shaped by secondhand stories of how remarkable the amounts of his gold and how impressive his entourage was, so they would view Musa mostly as a rich and powerful monarch.
