Answer:

Deciding to fight back against Covey's beatings is a turning point for Douglass that leads him to resolve to escape from slavery.

Explanation:

This is the moment for Douglass where he stops being merely a slave and turns into a man. He decides that he has enough of it and that he won't stand for such beatings anymore because he is not an object but rather a human being. He stands up to his owner after which he and a couple of other slaves plan their escape, but it is unsuccessful. He is then taken to jail.

Answer:

Because that moment shows a turning point in Douglass' life, because that situation is crucial to his decision to escape slavery.

Explanation:

As you may already know Frederick Douglass was an exceptional person and very influential in the fight for the right of black citizens and especially for their freedom.

In his book, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, he is able to tell his life story and how he managed to overcome all difficulties in being an ex-slave and building a successful path as a black man.

At an important point in this book, Douglass accurately details the struggle he had with Covey (his greatest enemy when he was a slave). Covey was ruthless and had a strong influence on Douglass's life, but during a beating session, Douglass was brave enough to fight back. This moment is told in great detail because it shows when Douglass stopped being afraid, realized that his life, health and sanity had value and decided to escape slavery.

Which list only contains personal pronouns?
BartSMP [9]

Personal pronouns is the same as asking for singular nouns or pronouns because they both express words that deal with just one person. Personal Pronouns has the job to replace a characters name with terms such as “he” or “she” so the name won’t be repetitive throughout the whole story or so the story may have a shorter format.

Personal Pronouns use words:

I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, him, her, us, and them

However, there’s also 1st point of view, 2nd point of view and 3rd point of view pronouns that would be worthy of looking searching :)
