what effect does word choice have on the meaning of this excerpt from benjamin franklin's "a witch trial at mount holly"?
accused and accusers being strippād (saving only to the women their shifts) were bound hand and foot, and severally placed in the water, lengthways, from the side of a barge or flat, having for security only a rope about the middle of each, which was held by some in the flat.
the phrase "only a rope" highlights the lack of technology in franklin's time.
the phrase "bound hand and foot" emphasizes the seriousness of the danger.
the phrase "held by some" shows that the villagers cooperated together.
the phrase "both accused and accusers being stripp'd" clarifies that the accused were unfairly treated.

Read the excerpt from cristina garciaās dreaming in cuban.i donāt really want to talk about my father but i end up telling minnie how he used to take me horseback riding on our ranch, strapping me in his saddle with a leather seat belt he designed just for me. dadās family owned casinos in cuba, and had one of the largest ranches on the island. there were beef cattle and dairy cows, horses, pigs, goats, and lambs. dad fed them molasses to fatten them, and gave the chickens corn and sorghum until they laid vermilion eggs, rich with vitamins. he took me on an overnight inspection once. we camped out under a sapodilla tree and listened to the pygmy owls with their old womenās voices. my father knew i understood more than i could say. he told me stories about cuba after columbus came. he said that the spaniards wiped out more indians with smallpox than with muskets.how does the structure of the excerpt add meaning to the passage? it includes historical information about the spaniards and indians to indicate the work is nonfiction.it describes the setting of the ranch owned by pilarās cuban grandparents to explain family values.it uses several narrators to share their points of view about past and present life in cuba.it manipulates the chronological order of events to reveal the close relationship between pilar and her father.
