Answer:

It serves to point out that basing the justification of slavery on the story of Ham is unsound.

Explanation:

The Narrative of Frederick Douglass is a memoir of a slave named Frederick Douglass. In his memoir he shares his experience of slavery and his quest towards freedom from slavery.

In chapter 1, Douglass included the biblical allusion of God cursing Ham and his generation to be slaves. When enslavement was legalized in the 19th century in the South, people began to justify this enslavement by using this scripture and saying that God had made Ham's generation (Blacks) to be slaves by cursing them.

Douglass by including this scripture in his narrative points out that this justification is unsound as  enslavement in the South was done of biracial people. In the South, white owners wouuld ra-pe black slaves and enslave the child born out of that. Douglass also was a biracial slave. Using this allusion, Douglass is stating tha justifying slavery based on the story of Ham is unsound.

Thus the last option is correct.

Answer:

A picaresque novel depicts the hero of the story as someone who comes from a low social rank, finding ways to survive in a corrupt world.

The Spanish novella Lazarillo de Tormes was banned by the Spanish Inquisition and rather included in the Index of the Forbidden Books of the Spanish Inquisition for its heretical contents and the depiction of the young boy Lazaro's upbringing by a blind beggar after the death of his thief father.

Explanation:

A picaresque novel is a book of prose that tells the adventures of a 'hero" who is not the typical hero type, but rather roguish and mostly from the lower ranks of the society. The protagonist of this type of novel comes from the low social rank, and has to survive using his wits and conscience to survive in a corrupt world.

Lazarillo de Tormes, a Spanish novella published anonymously that tells the story of a poor boy Lazaro, was banned by the Spanish Crown for its depiction of the boy's life in a picaresque way. The novella was instead included in the Index of the Forbidden Books of the Spanish Inquisition for its heretical contents. The story dealing with the upbringing of the poor boy by a blind beggar after the death of his thief father was 'unethical' of a novel, thus the ban. The very nature of a picaresque novel on delineating the numerous professions and social statuses is also evident in this novel, leading to it being deemed 'unfit' to be read. And even when published, the Crown made sure to omit Chapters 4 and 5.

Explanation:    

Even though I cannot write the whole story here, I can give you some topics below that you can develop into the story.

1. A popular kid in your school all of a sudden begins talking to you because he/she thinks you are an electric guitar player (or some other instrument).

2. You are so excited about the idea of being part of the coolkids that you lie about your skills, making it seem that you are a proficient musician.

3. The story spreads, and now every one at school thinks you are the coolest.

4. You make friends and start hangingout with them at the park and the mall.

5. One day, one of your new friends invites you to his party. There is band there, but the guitar player feels sick.

6. Everyone asks you to step up and play. After all, you are incredibly proficient, so it should not be a big deal for you.

7. You have to admit that you cannot play the guitar.

8. End the story by expressing how much you regret lying and how embarrassed you feel. This is where you can use "Never will I do that again."

When writing a story like the one exemplified above, there are a few things we must try to do:

• Give details: When you describe something or someone vividly, readers get more immersed in the story.

• Do not rush: Develop each part of the story properly, otherwise readers will not understand how and why we got somewhere in the plot.

• Explain your thoughts and feelings: Especially if the story is narrated in first person, make sure to let readers know how the events made you feel.
