Read the following sentence and then select the correct answer to the question: stars rocketed across the sky that night, "(bold) as if pulled on a string held by a giant. (bold) " what does the author mean by the words in bold? the narrator lives in a world where giants control the skies. the shooting stars seemed other-worldly and magical. something went terribly wrong with the stars that night. no one could see any stars because they were hidden.

The shooting stars seemed other-worldly and magical.

Explanation:

The author describes the rapid movement of the stars as if they were drawn with force by a giant. In that respect, he means that the stars were in motion in an extraordinary manner, as if that view were not from planet Earth.

The rest of the choices are incorrect because they do not reproduce the meaning of the author, who expresses a vision of beauty in the starry sky and does not literally mean that there is a giant that controls the it.

dramatic irony occurs when the reader/audience knows more about a character's situation than the character does. the one main effect is that it gives the reader a sense of superiority, or detached superiority. the reader not only seemingly discovers what is revealed, but feels superior for doing so.

        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.
