100 points help please!!Read the sentence from paragraph 17 of the "Address to the Niagara Movement"
The Slave is rising in his might, the yellow millions are tasting
liberty, the black Africans are writhing toward the light, and
everywhere the laborer, with ballot in his hand, is voting open
the gates of opportunity and peace.
Why does DuBois use the word writhing in this sentence,
instead of moving or heading?
It has a more positive connotation to highlight
succeeding despite setbacks.
It has a weaker connotation and creates a feeling of
hopelessness.
It has a stronger connotation and conveys a sense
of power.
It has a more negative connotation to emphasize
struggling against resistance.
