Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. I spent the time in washing, not so much because I wished to

, but because Mrs. Lucretia had told me I must get all the dead skin off my feet and knees before I could go to Baltimore; for the people in Baltimore were very cleanly, and would laugh at me if I looked dirty. Besides, she was going to give me a pair of trousers, which I should not put on unless I got all the dirt off me. The thought of owning a pair of trousers was great indeed! It was almost a sufficient motive, not only to make me take off what would be called by pig-drovers the mange, but the skin itself. I went at it in good earnest, working for the first time with the hope of reward. Which detail from the passage is evidence that Douglas has few material possessions while he is enslaved? Mrs. Lucretia had told me I must get all the dead skin off my feet and knees . . . [T]he people in Baltimore were very cleanly, and would laugh at me if I looked dirty. The thought of owning a pair of trousers was great indeed! I went at it in good earnest, working for the first time with the hope of reward.

What generalization of life is most evident in these lines from the novel As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner? . . . motherhood w
Savatey [412]

Answer:

I believe the safest choice is letter A. the failure of language to convey the truth of experience.

Explanation:

We might be, at first, tempted to choose letter C concerning labels imposed by men that restrict a woman's life. After all, there is much of feminism in Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying"'s narrator, Addie Bundren. However, the passage we are analyzing here and the context which surrounds it show that<u> Addie's indeed discussing the inadequacy of words to describe experiences. </u>

She sees language as something invented, something built with the purpose of explaining an experience, a feeling. However, she does not think words are effective. Motherhood is only a word, a group of letters and sounds that tries to summarize what the experience of being a mother is. But the experience in itself is much fuller, much richer than the idea that word can ever convey. The same happens to other words, feelings, experiences. As Addie says, <em>"That was when I learned that words are no good; that words don’t ever fit even what they are trying to say at.  When he was born I knew that motherhood was invented by someone who had to have a word for it because the ones that had the children didn’t care whether there was a word for it or not.  I knew that fear was invented by someone that had never had fear; pride, who never had the pride."</em>

I believe it is safe, then, to choose letter A. the failure of language to convey the truth of experience.
