Read the excerpt below and answer the question. During our passage, I first saw flying fishes, which surprised me very much; they used frequently to fly across
the ship, and many of them fell on the deck. I also now first saw the use of the quadrant; I had often with
astonishment seen the mariners make observations with it, and I could not think what it meant. They at last
took notice of my surprise; and one of them, willing to increase it, as well as to gratify my curiosity, made me
one day look through it. The clouds appeared to me to be land, which disappeared as they passed along.
This heightened my wonder, and I was now more persuaded than ever, that I was in another world, and that
every thing about me was magic.
In at least 100 words, discuss how Equiano's descriptions in this excerpt makes the other portions of the text that much
more affecting.

In order really to hate white people, one has to blot so much out of the mind — and the heart — that this hatred itself becomes an exhausting and self-destructive pose. but this does not mean, on the other hand, that love comes easily: the white world is too powerful, too complacent, too ready with gratuitous humiliation, and, above all, too ignorant and too innocent for that.which sentence best explains how the use of parallelism in the excerpt supports baldwin's purpose? a. it proves baldwin's central idea by highlighting the obvious.b. it emphasizes the problems that prevent one from loving the white world.c. it explains why the white world is unable to replace hate with love.d. it enumerates the many ways of dealing with the white world.
