Question

Read the excerpt from Iqbal. "It means that this kind of life isn't right. We should return to our families; we shouldn't be chained to our looms and forced to work like slaves." "I'd like to go home, too," I said, "but we can't." "Why not?" "Because . . . because . . . ," burst in Salman, "because the master is stronger than us. Because it's always been like this. Because nobody cares about us." "We'll find somebody to help us. Out there. There must be someone." In this excerpt, the author uses words to characterize Iqbal as someone who rescues others. causes problems for others. encourages others. uses schemes to trick others

Answer 1

encourages others

In the first piece of dialogue from Iqbal, he speaks about the injustices that are being done. He talks about how they should not be "chained and forced to work like slaves." When the others doubt their abilities and strength to stand up for themselves, Iqbal gives them encouragement when he says, "We'll find somebody to help us." This line also proves that he is not doing the rescuing himself since he talks about finding someone else to help. He's also not trying to cause and problems or tricking anyone.
