Read the excerpt from matilda by roald dahl. "i . . i . . i simply put the fourteen down in my head and multiply it by nineteen," matilda said. "i'm afraid i don't know how else to explain it. i've always said to myself that if a little pocket calculator can do it why shouldn't i? " matilda's words in this excerpt reveal that she is a. able to do a lot more than multiplication tables. b. is uncomfortable and ashamed of her unusual talents. c. has no idea why she has such a special talent. d. has a dislike for technology such as the pocket calculator.

a) able to do a lot more than multiplication tables.

the real answer is c*

a, b, and c are all correct.

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.
