Question 1 Part A Which statement is a central idea in Chapter 6 of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass? Education is liberating. All slaveholders are kind at first, but later grow to be cruel. Some slaveholders view enslaved people as their equals. Violence is sometimes justified. Question 2 Part B Which two statements from the text best support the answer in Part A? “...and the argument which he so warmly urged, against my learning to read, only served to inspire me with a desire and determination to learn.” "Mistress, in teaching me the alphabet, had given me the inch, and no precaution could prevent me from taking the ell." “And of all the mangled and emaciated creatures I ever looked upon, these two were the most so. His heart must be harder than stone, that could look upon these unmoved.” “Few are willing to incur the odium attaching to the reputation of being a cruel master; and above all things, they would not be known as not giving a slave enough to eat.” “That cheerful eye, under the influence of slavery, soon became red with rage; that voice, made all of sweet accord, changed to one of harsh and horrid discord.”

Part A: Education is liberating

Part B: “...and the argument which he so warmly urged, against my learning to read, only served to inspire me with a desire and determination to learn.” // "Mistress, in teaching me the alphabet, had given me the inch, and no precaution could prevent me from taking the ell."

Explanation:

In chapter 6 of "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" the author tells the story of the day when his Mistress tried to teach him to read, but her husband forbade her to continue teaching him. According to her husband, teaching a slave to read would take away his servile nature and put him in a privileged position where he would no longer be able to serve whites.

At that moment, Douglass understood that reading would be the essential to get him out of that life. In other words, Douglass shows that this event left him motivated to learn to read, because he managed to understand that education is liberating.

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
