Read this excerpt from the narrative of the life of frederick douglass. the plan which i adopted, and the one by which i was mos
t successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom i met in the street. as many of these as i could, i converted into teachers. with their kindly aid, obtained at different times and in different places, i finally succeeded in learning to read. when i was sent of errands, i always took my book with me, and by going one part of my errand quickly, i found time to get a lesson before my return. what inference can be drawn about the boys in this excerpt? they have more education than douglass and are willing to teach him. they enjoy playing with douglass and consider him a friend. they are eager to learn from douglass and seek his guidance as a teacher. they avoid douglass because their parents disapprove of him.read this excerpt from the narrative of the life of frederick douglass. the silver trump of freedom had roused my soul to eternal wakefulness. freedom now appeared, to disappear no more forever. it was heard in every sound, and seen in every thing. it was ever present to torment me with a sense of my wretched condition. i saw nothing without seeing it, i heard nothing without hearing it, and felt nothing without feeling it. it looked from every star, it smiled in every calm, breathed in every wind, and moved in every storm. what inference can be drawn about douglass in this excerpt? his new ideas are upsetting to his fellow enslaved persons. he wants to read more about personal freedoms. his new ideas prevent him from getting his work done. he is unable to ignore the appeal of freedom.
We can infer the boys have more knowledge than Douglass and are willing to teach him.
Frederick Douglass was born in 1818. He was an abolitionist, a writer, and a social reformer whose autobiography "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" greatly influenced the abolitionist movement in 1845.
Douglass' story shows how white slave owners perpetuate slavery by keeping their slaves in ignorance. At the time Douglass wrote, many people believed that slavery was a natural state of being.
Hence, the correct answer is 'they have more education than Douglass and are willing to teach him.'
