Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.
What effect does Douglass's use of the words
"welcome." "privilege." and "perfect" have in this
paragraph?

old, having outlived my old master and all his children,
having seen the beginning and end of all of them, and
her present owners finding she was of but little value,
her frame already racked with the pains of old age, and
complete helplessness fast stealing over her once
active limbs, they took her to the woods, built her a little
hut, put up a little mud-chimney, and then made her
welcome to the privilege of supporting herself there in
perfect loneliness, thus virtually turning her out to die!

Which lines in this excerpt from act ii of william shakespeare’s romeo and juliet reveal that mercutio thinks romeo would be better off if he stopped thinking about love? mercutio: i will bite thee by the ear for that jest. romeo: nay, good goose, bite not. mercutio: thy wit is a very bitter sweeting it is a most sharp sauce. romeo: and is it not well served in to a sweet goose? mercutio: o here's a wit of cheveril, that stretches from an inch narrow to an ell broad! romeo: i stretch it out for that word 'broad; ' which added to the goose, proves thee far and wide a broad goose. mercutio: why, is not this better now than groaning for love? now art thou sociable, now art thou romeo; now art thou what thou art, by art as well as by nature: for this drivelling love is like a great natural, that runs lolling up and down to hide his bauble in a hole. benvolio: stop there, stop there. mercutio: thou desirest me to stop in my tale against the hair. benvolio: thou wouldst else have made thy tale large. mercutio: o, thou art deceived; i would have made it short: for i was come to the whole depth of my tale; and meant, indeed, to occupy the argument no longer.
