What is an analysis of Crusoe's relationship with Xury?

Whenescapes from the Moors, he takes Xury
with him, promising that he will make him a great man if he will swear to keep faith with
Crusoe. Xury keeps his side of the bargain. Before long, he is offering to lay down his life for
Crusoe. Age and (primarily) race ensure that Crusoe and Xury's relationship is that of master
and servant, rather than an equal friendship. This clearly anticipates the relationship Crusoe
is later to have with Friday.

Crusoe gives Xury orders and treats him as a
servant when they are together. They converse in pidgin English. Finally, Crusoe has the
opportunity to sell Xury to a Portuguese captain. He refuses to sell the boy as a slave, but
allows the captain to take him as an indentured servant for ten years, after which he will be a
free man, on the condition that he converts to Christianity. Xury says he is willing to go, but
this is still rather a far cry from Crusoe's promise to make him a great
man.

What is the significance of the yellow note in Chestnut Tree Cafe? "There came into it€”but it was something hard to describe.It was a peculiar,...

My
interpretation of the yellow note is that it has come to signify the cowardice and betrayal that
have now combined to destroy .  He andboth discuss the fact that they betrayed each other, that
under the incredible torture they both gave up the other, that in the end "All you care
about is yourself."  Because of this, the affection he felt for her, the only really true
thing in his life, has now become as cracked and yellow and empty as everything else around
him.

The "jeering" note serves to remind him of this, to remind him
of his deepest inner cowardice, that which betrayed all the hatred he felt for the party, all
the bravery he thought he possessed that allowed him to consider such things as helping the
proles to revolt, etc.  The music is not just despicable or empty and tinny now, it is yellow
and it jeers at him, mocking him as a human being.

Please explain how is irony used to show slavery's dehumanizing effect in the quote: "An unpardonable offense to teach slaves to read in this...

Douglass speaks about
the ways in which slavery twists the ideas of what is decent and good. After his slave mistress,
Mrs. Auld, teaches him the rudiments of reading, her husband, who has far more experience as a
slave master than she does, roundly criticizes her. He says that reading will forever make a
slave unfit for slavery.

what one expects. Reading is a positive good, as is education, but in the slave-holding
South,...

What is the main problem in "A Worn Path" by Eudora Welty?

The main problem
in "" was the long, dangerous journey made by Phoenix, an old woman faced with the
challenge of taking care of her sick grandson. Her grandchild swallowed lye and required
medication that was to be fetched from a distant town. Phoenix was forced to make the long and
dangerous trip to get the medication.

The journey to town was tough on the
old woman. She was forced to walk over hills and through woods where she risked being attacked
by wild animals. The thorny bushes along the way caught her skirt and slowed her down.

As the journey got tough, Phoenix imagined seeing a ghost which turned out to be a
scarecrow. Along the way she hit a black dog with her cane. The impact threw her off balance and
into a ditch. A hunter who was nearby helped her out. The journey was such an arduous task that
by the time she got to where she was going, she momentarily forgot her
objective.

In Ender's Game, what are some quotes that show that Ender is intelligent?

There
is no doubt that Ender is an extremely intelligent character. His intelligence and emotional
stability is what got him to Battle School in the first place. What is great about Ender is that
he is not only book smart, but he is also incredibly street smart. He picks up on school
teachings quickly, but he is also able to see beyond the facade of what is actually being
presented to him. Take the following quote, for example:

He held up a limp hand. "See the strings?"

This quote comes from chapter 13 and is said to Valentine during Ender's brief return
to Earth. The quote is a complaint by Ender that shows he understands he is nothing more than a
puppet to be used and manipulated by the adults in his life. The quote is something very
reminiscent of what Peter told him much earlier in the book.

If you need a
quote that is more focused on traditional intelligence, then I would look to chapter one. There
is a great quote about Ender's...
