Part B: “...and the argument which he so warmly urged, against my learning to read, only served to inspire me with a desire and determination to learn.” // "Mistress, in teaching me the alphabet, had given me the inch, and no precaution could prevent me from taking the ell."

Explanation:

In chapter 6 of "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" the author tells the story of the day when his Mistress tried to teach him to read, but her husband forbade her to continue teaching him. According to her husband, teaching a slave to read would take away his servile nature and put him in a privileged position where he would no longer be able to serve whites.

At that moment, Douglass understood that reading would be the essential to get him out of that life. In other words, Douglass shows that this event left him motivated to learn to read, because he managed to understand that education is liberating.
