Answer: Both men use their past experiences to show readers that they persevered and became accomplished readers and writers.
Explanation:
The first passage is from <em>"Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery
" </em>(1791), a book written by Ottobah Cugoano. The author describes his experience of being taken as a child and sold into slavery.
In the first excerpt, Cugoano describes that, when he saw people who read and write in England, he wished to learn to do it himself. Once he learned to read and write, the author continued to educate himself.
In the second excerpt, from <em>"Letters of the late Ignatius Sancho, an African", </em>written by Ignatius Sancho who was born as a slave, the author describes his experience of serving in a family where they judged ignorance. However, when he was placed in a better family, he began to enjoy reading.
It is evident that both authors never gave up reading, and thus became quite successful as writers as well.

The waitress refuses him because the breakfasts are no longer served. She offers him lunch. The man gets angry and asks what she calls the manager. He comes in and tells him the same thing, that they stop serving breakfast at 11:30. It’s 11:31. We force him to have lunch, we do not take him into account. We do not ask him for his opinion.This lack of respect, even though he is a customer, that he will pay, drives him crazy. He pulls out a weapon. Everyone is scared! And he asks for breakfast again, the answer is "yes, sire." So, he changes his mind, and decides to choose lunch. He teases people because he made an attack in the fast food for his breakfast and now, he doesn’t want it.
