right answer on plato
The lines in this excerpt from "Learning to Read" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper that support the theme of knowledge is power are "Our masters always tried to hide Book learning from our eyes;" and "Knowledge did'nt agree with slavery—".
What is the theme of "Learning to Read"?
Harper in "Learning to Read" illustrates the importance of literacy to black people both "during and after slavery".
In the line "Our masters always tried to hide Book learning from our eyes;" Aunt Chloe recalls that the Masters viewed enslaved literacy as a challenge to their control during the time she was a slave as they knew knowledge will enlighten their minds and give power. In order to prevent slaves from learning to read and engage in "book learning," or education they prohibited the access to books for them.
In the line "Knowledge did'nt agree with slavery—" the master's power over his or her slaves was unchallengeable in the system of slavery, but if slaves learned through reading, they might "know more than the Master and challenge" that authority.
Thus, the abovementioned lines support the theme of knowledge is power.
