Read the paragraph from Nick’s personal narrative. Standing alone in my family’s barn, I thought about how much hard work and time my parents had invested—how much hard work and time we had all invested—in maintaining a fully operational farm. I did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. What would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents? Just as I was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden commotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts. With animals squawking and dust flying, I scrambled to pinpoint the source of this unexpected intrusion. In seconds that felt more like minutes, I was successful . . . and I could scarcely believe what my eyes were seeing.

Nick uses chronological order to relate his narrative. What effect does this have on his arrangement of the plot?

a) It allows Nick to include extra details as he develops the events that lead to the most exciting parts of his story.
b) It allows Nick to surprise the reader by disrupting the calm setting with unexpected excitement.
c) It allows Nick to omit the conclusion because he states his feelings at the beginning of the narrative.
d) It allows Nick to choose which events he will include and which events he would like to eliminate.

b) It allows Nick to surprise the reader by disrupting the calm setting with unexpected excitement.

Explanation:

A chronological order of events begins with the earliest one and follows the senquence in the order that they happened. In that respect, in the paragraph from Nick’s personal narrative, Nick starts by talking about how hard he and his parents have worked in the farm. However, he suddenly causes a disturbance and interrupts the tranquility of the scene when he wonders how his life would be in the city if they moved closer to his grandparents.

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.
