Answer:

c) Foreshadowing.

Explanation:

Harriet Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is one of the most prominent books about the slavery discrimination in America. The prejudice against the slaves is shown through the character of Tom and his family.

The excerpt provided in the question is from Chapter XXVIII of the text titled "Reunion". This part deals with Ophelia asking or rather imploring her cousin Mr. Augustine St. Claire to sign off the deed of ownership of Topsy to her. She wants to do it at the moment so that there is a sure sign of her ownership and so that she can safeguard her and maybe even free her in the future. This idea of making a slave free may be supported by St. Claire too but he did not have the same courage to get it through. This particular scene foreshadows the fate of his slaves who were auctioned off when he suddenly died unexpectedly.

Reread lines 1-7. Compare the effect of the author’s word choice in the description of the bubbles and then in the description o
Anton [14]

Answer:

From the opening sentence, we understand that there are thirteen bubbles that floated in the milk.

The author described the bubbles as "transparent hemispheres gleamed like souvenirs of the summer days just past, rich with blue reflections of the sky and of shadowy greens".

The effect of the author's choice of words was that of imagery as it helped the readers to "see" the bubbles in their mind's eye with such clarity as it was so succinctly described.

The author further described John's actions as he used the spoon to scoop the milk and swallow it in such a way that suggested he was either very hungry or in a hurry.

"John Hawkins jabbed the bubble closest to him with his spoon,. . .there was no mark of where it had been"

This description had the effect of making the readers know how eager John was to consume the milk and how quickly the ripples vanished.

The readers can also infer that John consumed the milk in an aggressive manner because of the way he jabbed at the ripple closest to him in his effort to drink the milk.

OLEGan [10]

The author's purpose in writing this paragraph is to inform the reader of the reasons for the differences between editions given the fact that the Grimm brothers, specially the younger one, wanted to change and perfect the original tales in their style to a more suitable public regarding literature back then.

Answer:

I believe the answer is A.

How do the central ideas and tone of the speech reflect Satanta’s cultural values?
pshichka [43]
Satanta was a leader of the Kiowa tribe who fought an endless war to protect his tribe's land from being taken away from the U.S. government. In the 1860s and 1870s, the Kiowa Indians waged an ongoing battle to protect their land and way of life from the U.S. encroachment. Satanta also known as White Bear, was a major Kiowa leader in favor of resistance. Besides his prowess as a warrior, Satanta was also a famed orator -a fact attested by his American-given nickname "The Orator of the Plains."
