Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. I suffered more anxiety than most of my fellow-slaves. I had

known what it was to be kindly treated; they had known nothing of the kind. They had seen little or nothing of the world. They were in very deed men and women of sorrow, and acquainted with grief. Their backs had been made familiar with the bloody lash, so that they had become callous; mine was yet tender; for while at Baltimore, I got few whippings, and few slaves could boast of a kinder master and mistress than myself; . . . How does the excerpt best support Douglass’s purpose to inform the reader about slavery? It contains evidence that Douglass was treated well by his master. It contains a comparison of Douglass to the other enslaved persons. It contains descriptions of the brutal effects of slavery on enslaved people. It contains a strong argument in favor of the abolition of slavery.

Answer:

It contains descriptions of the brutal effects of slavery on enslaved people.

Explanation:

"Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" is an autobiographical memoir of a slave-born Frederick Douglass who later earned his way to freedom and became an abolitionist to help his fellow African-American slaves to get their freedom.

As seen in the excerpt from the memoir, Douglass talks about how he suffered from anxiety more than other slaves in that he knows the two sides/ kinds of masters while the other slaves were accustomed to only the rude masters. Douglass had the advantage of being treated much better than a normal slave, but at the same time, it also makes him more anxious about what happens whenever he has a bad master. Other slaves were used to the beatings, the remarks and even at times killed for whatever reasons but for Douglass, he had the experience of having a good master where he even learned to read and write. The slaves accustomed to a rude and 'indifferent' master know nothing of a good master and so, had their minds set on the thinking that all slave masters are meant to be rude and unkind.

Through this passage, <u>Frederick Douglass provides descriptions of how brutal the effects of slavery were on the enslaved people</u>.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

inaccuracies of other scholars.

Explanation:

In the informative Essay by James Cross Giblin, of name: In The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, the author shows many achievements of the scholars who were studying the hieroglyphs and trying to understand them.

He says that <em>"A few genuine advances in understanding the hieroglyphs were made during the 1700s."</em>, but he doesn't stop there, since the he doesn't refrain from criticizing other scholars as you can see here:

<em>"For example, a Greek writer named Horapollo said correctly that the picture of a goose stood for the word "son." But then he explained that this was because geese took special care of their young, which was completely inaccurate."</em>
