It’s 1935 and the Nuremberg Laws have been passed. Jews are no longer considered citizens, so they can no longer vote and many of their rights are taken away. Jews forbidden to marry Germans and must add “Israel” (for men) or “Sarah” (for women) to their names so they won’t be mistaken as Germans. Jews jobs are taken away and Jewish children can no longer attend German schools. One day, on your way home, you see your Jewish neighbor Mrs. Schloss on her hands and knees scrubbing the street as your non-Jewish neighbors surround her, yelling “clean up this filth you dirty pig!” Use imagery to describe the scene. What do you see, hear, taste, smell? Explain your reaction. What do you do? What do you say? What do you think? What do you feel?

Is this based on a book or something else?

Explanation:

quite an interesting way to teach topic sentences, because the answer to this question is the best definition of a topic sentence that one can present, it is as if answering the questions taught you how to do it, this is some real teaching, it is terribly well-done.

the topic sentence in this paragraph is:

topic sentences writers stay on track and keep a paragraph from becoming an aimless collection of sentences about an idea.

which incidentally tells you what a topic sentence should be.

        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.
