Baseball historian Jules Tygiel described Daytona Beach as "an island of enlightenment in a sea of bigotry. Explain what this means, and write about whether you agree with this statement or not. Give reasons from the text for your opinions.

According to a different source, this question refers to the text "Jackie Robinson's Experience in Florida."

In this text, we learn about the many instances of segregation and discrimination that Jackie Robinson had to tolerate throughout his career. In particular, we learn about Robinson's experiences in Florida. Although Robinson faced discrimination in many places, the author tells us that Daytona Beach was "an island of enlightenment in a sea of bigotry." This means that Daytona Beach was particularly accepting, even though the rest of the state was not.

I agree with this statement based on the text. The author provides some evidence to support this claim. We learn that Mary McLeod Bethune founded a school for African American girls in 1904, which later became Bethune-Cookman College. We also learn that this school influenced Black people in the town to fight for their rights. Moreover, city officials never threatened to cancel a Royals game, nor did they try to keep Robinson from playing.

the rhetoric device being used to persuade the audience is pathos.

depends on your school

when i was in high school i took ap biology my senior year and it was the hardest one for me because my teacher finished the material within the first month of school and then went on to doing advanced college level it was horrible. but at a nearby school ap biology was one of the easier aps. also, it depends on what you are interested i like math a lot so ap calculus was easier for me than most but i hate history so ap us government was harder for me than most.
