Summarize what slavery was like based on these lines. One such who could was an old man, call him Toby. And
standing tall, yet afraid, was a young woman who once had
wings. Call her Sarah. Now Sarah carried a babe tied to her
back. She trembled to be so hard worked and scorned.
The slaves labored in the fields from sunup to sundown.
The owner of the slaves calling himself their Master. Say he
was a hard lump of clay. A hard, glint coal. A hard rock pile,
wouldn’t be moved. His Overseer[1] on horseback pointed out
the slaves who were slowing down. So the one called Driver
cracked his whip over the slow ones to make them move
faster. That whip was a slice-open cut of pain. So they did
move faster. Had to.

Being a slave was hard work, they had to grind until they were trembling, even when they were scorned.  They were whipped if they weren't working fast enough.

the sentence that avoid faulty coordination is:

culture, which is well represented in philadelphia, plays a major role including theatre, music, and the visual arts.  

faulty coordination occurs when the writer gives equal importance two different ideas (clauses) which in fact are not equivalent. in order to correct a misplaced clause or idea, the writer can place less important or emphatic ideas in a relative clause as in the previous sentence.  

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.
