In spring of 1846, Edgar Allan Poe (1809849) moved from New York City to his country cottage in Fordham where he wrote "The Philosophy of Composition," an essay that promises to recount the method he used to write his famous poem "The Raven" (1845). In the essay Poe challenges those who suggest that writing is a mysterious process prompted solely by the imagination. Although the it offers a number of precepts for good writing, at the end of the essay, Poe undercuts his step-by-step instructions by insisting that all writing should have an "under-current" of meaning. Because he never demonstrates how to create that "under-current," Poe's essay never completely reveals the process that makes his work so powerful.

Answer:

a. Learning to read is as important as freedom

Explanation:

Douglass believed that learning to read and write was as important as freedom, because knowing how to read and write promoted freedom through knowledge. When he was a slave he was forbidden to learn to read and write because one of his masters informed him that it was dangerous to teach a slave this. Douglass soon understood why. he saw that if a slave knew and wrote he would get enough knowledge to understand that his servile condition was unfair and incorrect, he would also learn the guidelines necessary to free himself and his fellowmen from this oppressive system.
