Answer:
He refuses to sell Emily because he has malefic plans for her and knows that Northup will not contribute to these plans.
Explanation:
Theophilus Freeman is a cruel, greedy and unscrupulous man, unlike Northup who shows himself as an honorable and kind man, even with slaves. Northup offers a price to buy Emily and her mother, preventing the two from being separated and allowing them to have a better life. However Theophilus Freeman refuses to sell, because he does not believe that slaves should be treated well and because he has other plans for Emily. He wants to sell her when she is older and when she is already a woman with a well developed body, so that she can be sold at a higher price to a man who has a desire for her.
The above question is about "Twelve Years a Slave." A book that takes place in 1841 and shows the sad reality of slaves and the inhuman ways they live. This book also addresses the danger of being a free Negro, the corruption of slavery, the fragility of slave women in relation to their masters, brutality, separation of families, among other themes.

Considering the theme of "Unbroken" and the text of your choosing, how can people best respond to conflict
Answer and Explanation:
Considering the theme of "Unbroken" and other texts that present conflicts that are difficult to overcome, as themes, we can infer that determination and support is the best way for people to face and survive conflicts. This is because this type of theme shows how people need to remain determined to overcome their conflicts. However, determination can fail at many times and at that time people should seek to be spoiled by religion, friendship, family, hope, love or any other element that promotes support.
"Unbroken" is a book that tells the story of Louis Zamperini and his traumatic experiences during the war when he was a prisoner of the Japanese army. In addition, the book shows how Louis managed to face his traumas after the war and overcome all the conflicts he lived through.

PUT ME AS BRAINLIST PLS AND THANK YOU
Explanation:
In a poem 'Phenomenal Woman'by Maya Angelou
1. What do you think is the view of the writer about a woman?
2. Do you think if the writer were a man, he would have the same perspective about a woman? why or why not?
3. what are the characters of the woman implicitly expressed in the poem? do you agree with these characters?
4. For you, what makes a modern woman phenomenal?
5. what are your reflections or insights about women after reading the poem?
please help, I'll mark you as the brainliest if can do this:(((
Answer and Explanation:
1. When reading the poem we can see that for the writer women are phenomenal when they believe what they are. She shows how a woman confident of her measurements, her strength, her appearance and her essence is a stunning woman who can put the whole world at her feet, regardless of standards.
2. A man would not have the same delicacy as Maya when writing this poem, because Maya knows what women feel about the imposed standards of beauty and how it generates a huge lack of confidence, so she is not limited to talking only of appearance (one that a man would probably do), but she says that to be a phenomenal woman, change has to happen from the inside out, women have to recognize themselves as someone phenomenal to become phenomenal, a man would talk about a change from the outside in, which is not effective.
3. We can see that Maya talks about voluptuous, communicative, leadership instincts, sensual and opinionated women who do not bow to patriarchal standards. In a nutshell, we can see that Maya approaches a female character with great personality and confidence in herself.
4. A phenomenal woman is an independent woman, who can supply her own needs and is free to be what she wants.
5. After reading the poem, I realized that real women are phenomenal and that all of them have a gigantic and unimaginable power, being able to dominate everything they desire when they propose to do so.

What is the key takeaway of house on mango street
Answer:
I don't understand the question
Explanation:
Answer: As Esperanza matures during the year that makes up The House on Mango Street, she experiences a series of awakenings, the most important being a sexual awakening. At the beginning of the novel, Esperanza is not quite ready to emerge from the asexuality of childhood. She is completely ignorant about sex and says that boys and girls live in completely different worlds. She is so much a child that she cannot even speak to her brothers outside of the house. When she becomes an adolescent, she begins to experiment with the power she, as a young woman, has over men. Marin teaches her fundamental facts about boys, but the first major step in Esperanza’s awareness of her sexuality is when she and her friends explore the neighborhood in high-heeled shoes. She relishes the power the shoes seem to give her, and she plays with the idea that physical beauty could help her escape the squalor of her surroundings. Esperanza quickly learns, however, that the patriarchal society in which she lives denies the power of female sexuality. The bum who attempts to kiss Rachel is the first in a series of men who will use force to take what girls don’t want to give freely. After being sexually assaulted, Esperanza decides to try to forget some of what she has learned about sex in the past year in order to focus on writing. By the end of the novel, Esperanza’s views on sex have evolved, and she rejects sex as a means of escape.

The 1920s meant a major shift in thinking about the American Dream for millions of Americans. How is this thinking reflected both in The Great Gatsby and in the literature of the Harlem Renaissance? (Be sure to answer BOTH parts of this question)
Answer:
Explanation:
Answer:
Jazz Age
Further Study Gatsby and the Jazz Age
The Great Gatsby is set against the backdrop of 1920s New York City, a period known as the “Roaring Twenties” for the exhilarating pace set by the rapidly evolving culture and technology. It was a decade of tremendous wealth in the United States following the deprivations of the First World War, and the upper-class characters of Gatsby exemplify the hedonism of the era.
Fitzgerald explores the major developments of the Roaring Twenties, including the birth of jazz, the women’s suffrage movement, economic prosperity, and the rapid growth of Manhattan as a cosmopolitan city. He mentions the many new technologies beginning to be popularized at the time such as automobiles, radio, movies, as well as the growing influence of the financial markets in New York. Several characters (including Gatsby and Nick) served in the war, an unstable period that established the country as a global economic leader, and the characters’ unstinting embrace of luxury echo the country’s rampant appetite for consumer goods during the period.
If a famous person in history belonged to the upper class in his country, what was his life like?
He had more money than other people in his country.
He was a harder worker than most people in his country.
He was more religious than most people in his country.
He had fewer choices about where to live than others in his country.
Answer:
it would make it more easy to say that he worked harder.
Explanation:
the reason I say that is because if he worked hard you get rewards but if you use money that's does not make since to use money for a higher class.

At the start of this section of the novel, why is the amount of food that Hà and her family are allowed to eat limited? They have very little money because they had to pay a great deal in order to escape from Vietnam. The family is on board a boat with limited supplies, and it is not certain when they will be rescued. They are about to leave Vietnam and must bring as much food as possible with them when they go. The family has been arrested by the North Vietnamese army, and they are being held in prison.
Answer:
The family is on board a boat with limited supplies, and it is not certain when they will be rescued.
Explanation:
Based on the dialogue in the story we can reach the conclusion that Ha and her family are actually aboard a boat with limited supplies.
For example, remember when we read,
"We are told to pack our crisscrossed packs and line up in a single file. Twenty at a time board a motorboat heading toward the dot."
This additional detail leads to the conclusion that the family is on board a boat with limited supplies.
