Abolitionists Speak Out
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland in approximately
1818. After several unsuccessful attempts, Douglass escaped from
slavery and eventually settled in Massachusetts. In 1845, he wrote his
first autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an
American Slave, which had a profound influence on the movement to
abolish slavery. Harriet Jacobs was born in North Carolina in 1813. Like
Douglass, Jacobs was born into slavery. She eventually escaped and
settled in New York. Also like Douglass, she wrote an autobiography,
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, which revealed the horrors of life
under slavery. Both Douglass and Jacobs went on to become vocal
supporters of the antislavery movement.
What is the main idea of the passage?

Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs both wrote important

Me which theme is developed by the changing relationship between the narrator and his daughter in this excerpt ? as she grew older, she spent more of her time with girls. so much time indeed did she spend with them that she came no more, as she used to do, to her father’s room. i was scarcely on speaking terms with her. when mini and her father stop communicating, it develops the theme that children should not speak unless spoken to. as mini becomes more independent, it develops the theme that parents must learn to let go as their children grow up. as mini spends more time with friends, it develops the theme that young people are more influenced by peers than by parents. when mini and her father see each other far less often, it develops the theme that absence makes the heart grow fonder.

In order really to hate white people, one has to blot so much out of the mind — and the heart — that this hatred itself becomes an exhausting and self-destructive pose. but this does not mean, on the other hand, that love comes easily: the white world is too powerful, too complacent, too ready with gratuitous humiliation, and, above all, too ignorant and too innocent for that. which sentence best explains how the use of parallelism in the excerpt supports baldwin's purpose? a. it proves baldwin's central idea by highlighting the obvious. b. it emphasizes the problems that prevent one from loving the white world. c. it explains why the white world is unable to replace hate with love. d. it enumerates the many ways of dealing with the white world.
