Read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided.
read the passage. i have been frequently asked how i felt when i found myself in a free state. i have never been able to answer the question with any satisfaction to myself. it was a moment of the highest excitement i ever experienced. i suppose i felt as one may imagine the unarmed mariner to feel when he is rescued by a friendly man-of-war from the pursuit of a pirate. in writing to a dear friend, immediately after my arrival at new york, i said i felt like one who had escaped a den of hungry lions. this state of mind, however, very soon subsided; and i was again seized with a feeling of great insecurity and loneliness. i was yet liable to be taken back, and subjected to all the tortures of slavery. this in itself was enough to damp the ardor of my enthusiasm. but the loneliness overcame me. there i was in the midst of thousands, and yet a perfect stranger; without home and without friends, in the midst of thousands of my own brethren-children of a common father, and yet i dared not to unfold to any one of them my sad condition. i was afraid to speak to any one for fear of speaking to the wrong one, and thereby falling into the hands of money-loving kidnappers, whose business it was to lie in wait for the panting fugitive, as the ferocious beasts of the forest lie in wait for their prey write one paragraph that identifies the metaphors in this passage.
then explain why douglass uses those metaphors. what is the effect? what is douglass trying to explain or convey?

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness?
'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.'
see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,
the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,
and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover
and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold.
see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.
'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!
and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,
to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. which choice best describes the conflict in this poem? the winds are rocking the boat. a man is thrown into the sea. a woman doesn’t want to let go of her dead lover. someone is crying in the darkness.
