Now Jim was a dreamer, but he was a thinker, too. And he thought one day that if he let his owner meet the cooter, he might get

his freedom that way. After all, a talkin cooter was a wonderful thing to hear. So Jim went on back to the plantation. He found the slaveowner, and he says, “Mas, I wanter tell you about this cooter down there at the pond.”
I ran away from the plantation and all who I knew there. I lived in the fields and in the woods. Even in caves. Sometimes I slept up in the tree branches. Or in a hay pile. I couldn’t get across the river now, it was watched so closely.

Finally, I did get across. Late one night me and my wife went. I had gone back to the plantation to get her. Mr. Rankins had him a bell by this time, along with the light. We were rowin and rowin. We could see the light and hear that bell, but it seemed we weren't getting any closer. It took forever, it seemed. That was because we were so scared and it was so dark and we knew we could get caught and never get gone.

—“Carrying the Running-Aways,”
Virginia Hamilton


Read the passages. Then, write two to three sentences comparing Jim’s viewpoint on escaping from slavery with the nonfiction narrator’s viewpoint on escaping from slavery.

Response:

Jim appears to believe it's preferable to wait patiently and persuade his owners for freedom. In contrast, the narrator in this narrative thinks that sucking up to the owners is unproductive since that submissive demeanor is what they anticipate and strive for through fear tactics and punishment. The narrator feels that true freedom can only be seized. It's clear that neither can endure their current situation. They possess such dignity that they would rather face punishment than inaction.

Response:

In "The Talking Cooter," Jim is prepared to face a beating from his master if it leads to his freedom. Likewise, in "Carrying the Running-Aways," the nonfiction narrator risks his life to help himself and others achieve freedom. In both pieces, the pursuit of freedom outweighs the importance of personal safety.

Leya [7781]
With her flag raised and fluttering in the breeze, the red streamers appeared to ignite the flood; the weaver, enchanted by his loom's creation, sets sail without a thought of retreat. Annus Mirabilis translates from Latin to 'Year of Miracles,' referencing noble occurrences even as London faced dire challenges such as the Great Fire and a plague, along with England’s military confrontations. John Dryden suggests these events were orchestrated by divine intervention, ultimately preserving England from annihilation.

What role does theocracy play in the plot thus far? Remember, a theocracy is a government ruled by God, meaning all reverends ar
Flura [7041]

This question pertains to "The Crucible".

Answer and Explanation:

The concept of theocracy influences all governance and decision-making throughout the plot of "The Crucible". The belief in "witches" is seen as a cause of unrest in the town. It falls upon the government, in this case a theocratic one, to resolve these issues through religious justification.

Though all characters illustrate the impact of theocracy on their behavior, those with government and religious authority, such as Reverend Parris, Herrick, Judge Hathorne and Judge Danforth, exemplify it most clearly.
