Read the passage. thousands would escape . . but for the strong cords of affection that bind them to their friends. what is the effect of the figurative language in this passage? it the reader understand that love and friendship make slaves feel trapped. it the reader understand how precious friends and family are to slaves. it the reader understand that a slave's friends and family often put pressure on them not to escape. it the reader understand that an escaped slave can always be kidnapped and returned to his owner.

The correct answer is: It helps the reader understand how precious friends and family are to slaves.

Indeed, slavery was a complex issue and several situations were possible for slaves. They would prefer not to escape and abandon dear friends and family. They would escape in order to later come and help friends and family escape. They would not have any friends or family but were too afraid to attempt escape. They would have no friends and family and thus would attempt escape.

The only constant value within these options is that they would always value friends and family if they had them.

i highly recommend james madison. the work is simple and if you stick to it you can graduate quickly. the work is simple and the teachers are very interactive. the flow of the school work is all on your time so it's not really a dead line. go on their website and look at pricing and enrollment plans. i know when i signed up i got a discount. you pay a certain amount of money every month. it's kind of expensive but i did it in 6 days tops with just my senior year left : )
