Even without the specific excerpt to which this question refers, it is still possible to answer it based on the knowledge we have about Douglass and his work.
Answer and Explanation:
A writer, abolitionist, and social reformer, Frederick Douglass was born in 1818 and was a slave. Unlike many others, Douglass was able to find kindness. He was first taught by his master's wife, who was eventually forced by her husband to stop. Later, Douglass was able to find white boys who were willing to teach him how to read and write.
Once he began to learn, Douglass had access to the knowledge only white people had had access to so far. He was freed from the bondage of ignorance. However, that did not make him suffer less. He suffered for all the others who hadn't had the same luck as him. He knew the same bondage that once held him was holding other slaves: lack of education. Douglass thought it was essential for slaves to learn so that they too could be freed - from both ignorance and slavery.
Pre-writing helps you decide how to organize your writing because it allows you to develop clear reasoning and also suggests ways in which the different ideas might be logically related, which can help you get a sense of how the essay could eventually be organized.
