Based on the excerpt from My Bondage and My Freedom, what is Frederick Douglass’s view about the lack of education among slaves?

Even without the specific excerpt to which this question refers, it is still possible to answer it based on the knowledge we have about Douglass and his work.

Answer and Explanation:

A writer, abolitionist, and social reformer, Frederick Douglass was born in 1818 and was a slave. Unlike many others, Douglass was able to find kindness. He was first taught by his master's wife, who was eventually forced by her husband to stop. Later, Douglass was able to find white boys who were willing to teach him how to read and write.

Once he began to learn, Douglass had access to the knowledge only white people had had access to so far. He was freed from the bondage of ignorance. However, that did not make him suffer less. He suffered for all the others who hadn't had the same luck as him. He knew the same bondage that once held him was holding other slaves: lack of education. Douglass thought it was essential for slaves to learn so that they too could be freed - from both ignorance and slavery.

Answer:

In My Bondage and My Freedom, Frederick Douglass describes how his mistress began to teach him the alphabet but was forced to stop by her husband, who convinced her that "education and slavery are incompatible with each other.”

Douglass also realized this fact as a child and resolved to learn to read and write by any means possible:

In teaching me the alphabet, in the days of her simplicity and kindness, my mistress had given me the "inch," and now, no ordinary precaution could prevent me from taking the "ell.”

In this way, Frederick Douglass suggests that education is the only way to break the chains of slavery. An educated man is free from ignorance and cannot be enslaved, so slaves should strive to get educated by any means possible.

TWICE I WALKED WITH DINOSAURS

One summer we found

a dead baby shark

washed up on the beach,

cut it open with a dinner knife

[5]from the house,

and performed an

outdoor autopsy.1

As we marveled2 at its

miniature anatomy,

[10]reveled3 in the smallness

of each little organ,

seagulls circled overhead.

The ocean was quiet,

barely making waves.

[15]It kept vigil4 for its tiny causality.

The spring prior,

an alligator wandered

onto the beach during my

uncle’s second wedding.

[20]It was far enough away

to merit an absence of fear, but

nobody took photos or said

a word— we just stared

as it settled itself in the surf,

[25]hoping to be cleansed.

Question:
How do the words used to describe the speaker’s examination and reaction to the shark contribute to the tone of the passage?

At our school, most students sit in the same place with the same
friends every lunch period. This seating arrangement causes many
students to miss out on possible friendships. It also makes it hard for
new students to make friends. I'm glad that our school's friendship

cafeteria seats and change the assignments every two weeks is a
great idea that will help the school become a more united and friendly
place.

O A. Friendship is one of the most important aspects of school,

cafeteria will have a positive impact on our school.

wholeheartedly support.
