Question

how do both poets use personal perspective to express ideas about freedom? wheatley and harper both celebrate
○ personal wealth as a symbol of freedom.
wheatley expresses spiritual freedom through faith, while harper demands physical and moral freedom for all.
○ both poets reject religion as a source of liberty.
○ harper’s poem shows hope, while wheatley’s expresses anger.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect as neither poet focuses on personal wealth as freedom.
• The second option: Wheatley often uses faith for spiritual freedom, and Harper (like in abolitionist themes) advocates for physical (e.g., from slavery) and moral freedom for all. This matches their perspectives.
• The third option is wrong; Wheatley uses faith, so they don't reject religion as liberty source.
• The fourth option is incorrect; Wheatley’s work (e.g., “On Being Brought from Africa to America”) is more about spiritual elevation, not anger, and Harper’s hope aligns but the contrast on anger is wrong.

Answer:

Wheatley expresses spiritual freedom through faith, while Harper demands physical and moral freedom for all.
