Read this excerpt from i never had it made. winning his directors' approval was almost insignificant in contrast to the task which now lay ahead of the dodger president. he made certain that word of his plans did not leak out, particularly to the press. next, he had to find the ideal player for his project, which came to be called "rickey's noble experiment." this player had to be one who could take abuse, name-calling, rejection by fans and sportswriters and by fellow players not only on opposing teams but on his own. he had to be able to stand up in the face of merciless persecution and not retaliate. on the other hand, he had to be a contradiction in human terms; he still had to have spirit. he could not be an uncle tom. his ability to turn the other cheek had to be predicated on his determination to gain acceptance. once having proven his ability as player, teammate, and man, he had to be able to cast off humbleness and stand up as a full-fledged participant whose triumph did not carry the poison of bitterness. which is the central idea of this excerpt? a. rickey is frustrated with the cruel treatment of his players. b. rickey needs a strong man of purpose to represent integration. c. rickey hopes to find a player willing to fight members of the press. d. rickey wants to interview athletes to assess their personalities.

B. Rickey needs a strong man of purpose to represent integration.

The excerpt is describing the type of player Rickey would need in order to integrate the Dodgers. The speaker talks about how this is difficult because the player must be able to take criticism from everyone and handle the jeers and insults that will come with being the first nonwhite person on an all-white team. The player must also be able to handle all this pressure and negativity without retaliating or losing his spirit. The entire excerpt is all about finding a strong man to represent the integration of the Dodgers.

        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.

are there answer choices to this particular question?
