Your shout of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; why does douglass most likely say that shouts of liberty and equality are hollow mockery? a) to show that the slave owners showed no compassion and often mocked abolitionists b) to show the pitiful status of the slave, whose life was hollow and equally miserable c) to show the audience that the version of equality celebrated by america was an empty word, mocking the slaves d) to show that slaves were not comfortable vocalizing their discomfort with their situation

I would say the correct answer is C) to show the audience that the version of equality celebrated by America was an empty word, mocking the slaves.

Explanation:

The "shout of liberty and equality" is an empty ("hollow") word because there is no liberty or equality for the slaves. If the liberty really existed, it would have been there for everyone. As for equality, it is impossible to ascertain it in a country where inequality is so blatant and obvious. Furthermore, boasting about these concepts is cynical when one knows that the whole colored population is excluded from them. Hence the mockery Douglass refers to.

A) is not correct because this passage isn't about slaveowners and their lack of compassion. It's directed towards the whole nation that is still being blind to facts. B) is kind of correct but it's not the best choice because it leaves out the cynicism and mockery. D) isn't correct because this excerpt doesn't refer to the slaves' silence; on the contrary, it shows that the nation is blind and deaf to the slaves' plight.

the way you did it is okay (not really the best) but it could use a little work.

explanation:

dreams can say a lot about the personalities,thoughts, feelings, and intentions of people, what exactly do dreams mean? are the dreams we have   a result of our thinking process or are they connected to our hidden desires? facts and fiction will be used to uncover the truth behind our dreams.

honestly, school in itself just seems to be a huge waste of time. a lot of people graduate but still end up not doing anything in college anyways, which really makes the whole point of graduating seem useless. i'd rather not bring anyone's hopes up then. what i'd recommend is for whoever's reading this to simply drop out.

i mean, kanye did it. he said something along the lines of, "don't let society tell you what to do." now, he's obviously a very successful person, and since his album is called the college dropout i guess he never really had to go through all that nonsense in order to become a millionaire. the same goes for anyone else then.
