hardships to the condition of the general female slave. She accomplishes this
in two ways, through her writing style, and the writing content.
The style that the novel is written varies from a dialogue to a narrative,
depending on the subject matter being written about. For example, the dialogue
where Mrs. Flint confronts Linda (Jocobs) and asks her what has been going on
with her husband is handled very effectively, because as a conversation between
two people, we are able to pick up on the nuances of meaning. Also, it .....

Norway with her parents (Howard 1). She did steep the children in
Scandinavian customs, though, teaching them the language of Norway, and

Sandro Botticelli
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 621.... Man in a Red Cap.
The painting, which is quite simple in nature, depicts nothing more than the bust of a teenage boy with a red hat on. The boy is uniquely outlined on each side with the right side of his body gently fading into a black backdrop and the left having a sharp and precise line separating him from the black.

Many feel that Botticelli was merely documenting the boy’s physical appearance wit .....
