Read the following passage and answer the question. we none of us said anything, for we had woven about us a net of silence in whose meshes were precariously held our fears and our misgivings what is being personified in this passage? a silence b meshes c fears d misgivings

In this passage, silence is being personified. The correct answer is a).

Personification is a literary device in which the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics is given to something non-human, or to the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

In this case, silence is being described as a net where these two characters hold their fears and misgivings.

it exposes the hypocrisy of religion and christian supporters of slavery

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.
