To show Americans the inappropriateness of their behavior

Explanation: Frederick Douglass was an social reformer, writer, abolitionist and a statesmen.He became one of the national figure in the New York against slavery as he also escaped from slavery. He wrote many autobiography on the slavery and his life. He depicted his purpose in his writings. His purpose was to abolish he slavery.

However he used biblical allusion to advance on his purpose. Because there many terms in the Bible related to the slavery. Moreover, most of his audience was christian and non believers who are also familiar to Bible.

He compared the Church bell as the bell ring in the slave auction market.However he didn't wanted to say that religion has created slavery. His purpose was to use the biblical term to show the Americans the inappropriateness of their behavior. Most of the slave owner goes to the Church regularly but they did not know how to behave with slaves. They behaved like slaves were less than human.

So Douglass used the Biblical allusion To show Americans the inappropriateness of their behavior.

Dear Ms. Smith,

I have read your new proposal for the workers' free days policy. After analyzing it, I consider that the extension and freedom in the use of our free days is excellent. Many times we get sick and decide to stay at home resting but then we have to do many medical procedures to prove our illness on the days we did not attend, with the new policy, workers should not be worry about getting medical notes when they are sick, this is really an advantage because it will allow us to rest peacefully.

About taking two consecutive days off is a great idea, many times the workers want to take a couple of days off to make small trips or to do some personal matters but we are embarrassed to ask for two days of rest in a row, so we prefer to wait until the weekend or wait until it is vacation time.

Although the proposal is very beneficial for the workers I think it is necessary to create some regulation parameters. For example, no more than three workers from the same department should take their two consecutive days off the same day as this can be counterproductive and generate a workload on other workers.

Also, although workers have the freedom to take a personal or sick day it is necessary to inform the head of the department as soon as possible in case there is any work that must be completed that same day, in this way the work that worker should do that day do not delay the work of others.

In conclusion, I believe that the new time off policy for workers is excellent and can improve the work performance of workers if it isregulated correctly. I hope that my answer will be useful to help you establish this new policy.

Best regards,
