Douglass says, “At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument is needed” (lines 138–139). Why does he say this,
Tamiku [17]
He says this because he is discussing the Fourth of July -- Independence Day.

Douglass says, however, that not everyone is independent. Some Americans, he reasons, are far from independent -- namely slaves. It is ironic that, on a day Americans celebrate freedom, a large portion of the population is anything but free.

Read these lines from "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" and answer the question.
harkovskaia [24]
I'm kind of confused as to what is being asked.... but this is my best answer.
SOCIAL Prejudice, (maybe legal if we talk about the consequence to his actions)

why it cant be the others--->
racial ---- they say nothing about race here.
(MAYBE) legal----- from the passage, we can say that the guy is richhhhh, and he might be able to wave off the consequences of his murder. but then again you only analyze this passage so, probably not
environmental---- they don't mention the environment....

THE REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE SOCIAL- their social standings in this situation 
-diamond ring (if thats what they mean by diamond ring finger, it could mean something else as well) only the rich can afford, a cane too
- hotel society gathering... (rich)
-poor Hattie Carroll could be literal as well.

The basic components of an ex nihilo creation story are below. The first sentence of the story is provided. Complete the ex nihi
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The numbers used in parentheses are from the order of the sentences in the question part. The sentences are arranged properly as following;

1 (1) A long time ago, there was nothing but darkness. 2 (2) God pointed at the darkness and uttered a command. 3 (4) Suddenly from the darkness emerged a bright, translucent sphere hanging in midair. 4 (8) Inside the sphere sat God, creator of everything. 5 (6)The bright light from the sphere fell on the vast expanse of water. 6 (5) Within the sphere was an animal. 7 (3) The animal dived into the water and brought up a small piece of mud, which started expanding. 8 (7) This action led to the creation of Earth.

Explanation:

<em>"Ex nihilo"</em> is a Latin phrase meaning "out of nothing". It figuratively means that God created the cosmos out of nothing.

First sentence is the beginning of the story as shown by the traditional starting phrase <em>"A long time ago"</em>

The second sentence tells us what happened to the darkness (given a command by God). It is also important to note the use of article "<em>the"</em> before "darkness", since it has been mentioned before.

The third sentence tells us what happened as the result of the command. (Note the use of article "a" before sphere).

The fourth sentence tells more about the sphere and uses "the" before "sphere". It also mentions God.

The fifth sentence tells about the bright light (light of God).

The sixth sentence introduces animal using article "an".

The seventh sentence tells us what the animal did (use of "the" before "animal").

The eighth and last sentence concludes the story with the creation of Earth.
