I think the answer is a but I’m not for sure
Answer:
This means that the young narrators of “The Sisters,” “An Encounter,” and “Araby” all tell their own stories and refer to themselves as “I.” All of the other stories in the collection are told in the third person, which means that the narrators are not part of the story and refer to the characters as “he” or “she.” ...
The conflict in Joyce's "Araby" surround the protagonist's struggle with money and the lack of it, culminating in his realization at the end...
The main moral/theme of Araby is loss of innocence. As the young narrator gains feelings for Mangan's Sister, he has trouble realizing what these feelings mean. The boy admires her so greatly while he has only spoken to her once or twice which shows immaturity.
Answer:
This passage reveals that:
C) Slavery was a taboo subject, to be avoided in polite conversation.
Explanation:
Frederick Douglass was born in 1818. He was an abolitionist, a writer, and a social reformer whose autobiography "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" greatly influenced the abolitionist movement in 1845. In the book, Douglass tells the story of his life as a slave and the measures he took to learn how to read and write.
From the passage we are studying here, it can be easily inferred that slavery was a taboo issue in conversations. Even though it was a reality - and a horrific one -, people were uncomfortable when it was brought up. According to Douglass, "grownup people" were discussing it, but whenever he brought it up with white boys around his age, they were troubled, bothered by it. Maybe they were suddenly and sharply reminded that that human being they were talking to, unlike themselves, did not have any freedom. His life was set in a very different direction than theirs. Being reminded of that was probably uncomfortable.
