Evaluate Equiano's sentence fluency. The sentence length is generally
DONE
Once, for a few days, I was let out to fit a
vessel, and I had no victuals allowed me by
either party, at last I told my master of this
treatment, and he took me away from it. In
many of the estates, on the different
islands where I used to be sent for rum or
sugar, they would not deliver it to me, or
any other negro; he was therefore obliged
to send a white man along with me to those
places, and then he used to pay him from
fix to ten pisterines a day.

The answer is, "The sentence length is generally long".

Explanation:

I just finished the assignment.

1. The sentence lengths are generally too long.

2. The sentence structures used are varied

3. The overall passage is natural and flowing.

Explanation:

In the sentence, most of the words used are long enough to push the length of the sentneces waaay up. The structures also change a lot, leaving a lot of variety for the reader.

Overall, the passage is smooth, and flows naturally.

explanation:

mrs. mallard has a heart condition, which means that if she's startled she could die. so, when news comes that her husband's been killed in an accident, the people who tell her have to cushion the blow.

mrs. mallard's sister josephine sits down with her and dances around the truth until mrs. mallard finally understands what happened. the deceased mr. mallard's friend, richards, hangs out with them for moral support.

richards originally found out because he had been in the newspaper headquarters when a report of the accident that killed mr. mallard, which happened on a train, came through. richards waited for proof from a second source before going to the mallards' to share the news.

when mrs. mallard finds out what happened she acts differently from most women in the same position, who might disbelieve it. she cries passionately before deciding to go to her room to be by herself.

in her room, mrs. mallard sits down on a comfy chair and feels completely depleted. she looks out the window and looks out at a world that seems alive and fresh. she can see the sky coming between the rain clouds.

mrs. mallard sits still, occasionally crying briefly like a kid might.

the narrator describes her as youthful and pretty, but because of this news she looks preoccupied and absent.

she seems to be holding out for some kind of unknown news or knowledge, which she can tell is approaching.

mrs. mallard breathes heavily and tries to resist before succumbing to this unknown thing, which is a feeling of freedom.

acknowledging freedom makes her revive, and she doesn't consider whether she should feel bad about it.

mrs. mallard thinks to herself about how she'll cry when she sees her husband's dead body and how much he loved her. even so, she's kind of excited about the chance to make her own decisions and not feel accountable to anyone.

mrs. mallard feels even more swept up by the idea of freedom than the fact that she had felt love for her husband.
