Answer:
He is writing to white Christians with the power to stop the slave trade
Explanation:
Olaudah Equiano was a notable Nigerian sold into slavery and taken to the Caribbean and then to London.
In his memoirs, he recounts how he wrote to white Christians who had the power to stop the slave trade but could not stop it because so many people were benefitting from the trade.
The treatment of slaves were inhuman and debasing as they were whipped deprived of food made to move about naked, and a lot of other injustice.
Hence, his letter was directed to white Christians who could stop the slave trade.
Examine this as light that would come in and light that would go out. The transparency of windows, the ability to see through windows, is the purpose of windows in this statement, allowing something to go in and out. What is the light in you? Now with this part of the statement, it is then expressing the metaphor as a direction from inside of someone to the outside. So it some one has a window, the ability or platform to say things and have people listen, what is the value if the person only speaks of hate and violent things. What value is there to listening to someone who speaks of these things through their "window"?
Let's consider the windows as opportunities to positively influence other people. An excellent situation would be a teacher. The have the "window", the class time to use effectively and beneficially for the students who are in the class. But what if the teacher only wants to pass the time and get through the class, not really imparting any knowledge, or being to lazy or indifferent or not caring. A window - the classroom, but no passion nor energy or light.
This example I believe best illustrates what it means to have a window, but no light.
Mr. Kraler was talking to Mr. frank about him being sick when he asked Mr. Frank to go speak with him downstairs. Margot refused to let them go because she knew it was bad news and they should all hear. Mr. Kraler was hesitant because of the kids but he said there was a man who possibly knew about Mr. Frank hiding up and was blackmailing Mr. Kraler. This causes more complications with them hiding abd it connects to Act 1 with the theif they heard downstairs.

2. As Martha went toward them, the boys all ran scared, hoping not to be caught. = Effect on others. We know the boys are afraid of Martha. She is chasing them, but it is not clear if it is a game they are playing. Anyhow, she has an effect over them, which is making them scared.
3. Nelly always says, "I would rather play baseball than play with dolls." = Speech. We get to know about Nelly's preferences through her own words. She is the one saying she'd rather play baseball, not the narrator.
4. Roger had to shop in the men's department even when he was a child. Boys' sizes don't fit him. But his size is what makes him an excellent football player. = Looks. The narrator is talking about Roger's appearance - his size, more specifically. Even though the narrator is not precise, we can imagine Roger is a big guy, since football players have to be so.
5. Shelly feeds stray animals on her way to school every day. She also volunteers at the local animal shelter every weekend. = Actions. The narrator is telling us about things that Shelly does. From those actions, we can easily infer she is kindhearted.
