Many sustained injuries—at a race in 1881, five of the six female competitors had previously suffered at least one broken arm—but they kept coming back.

Even so, she "rode like a wild woman for at least an hour and a half" on night five, finally tiring and falling to fourth place.

"Bitter rivalry, that characteristic feminine trait, and the determination to 'get even' are seemingly the actuating motives," wrote the Times.

Explanation:

All of these excerpts convey the idea that female racers at this time were very competitive. In the first excerpt, we learn that several women sustained injuries because of the competitiveness of the races, but they kept coming back. In the second excerpt, we learn that one of the women rode like crazy for an hour and a half, but still only made fourth place. Finally, the last excerpt tells us that there was a lot of rivalry and determination present in the competitions.

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.
