8 May 1950
It was a crazy time being on the island with just schoolboys. We were on the plane to escape the war, but we had our own war. Many people think that children are innocent, that we are not capable of murder and brutal violence. But we are capable of such things. We can be savage. I desperately wanted to be civilised, building huts and trying to get rescued from the island. But in the end, I was one of them. I killed a boar yet I felt thrilled and was partly responsible for Simon’s death. I am ashamed of how evil I have become and can be.
I miss the civilised and responsible child I once was. But even though I have lost my childhood innocence and have seen more brutality than I could have ever imagined, I have never really lost who I am. I am still the Ralph that holds onto civilisation, and in some ways, I am still a chief. Leadership post-island life will be different as this time, I have a keen understanding of our human nature. And I want to be a better person to honour the death of my dear friends.

Explanation:
Harriet Ann Jacobs's autobiographical narrative "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" delves into the discriminatory system of slavery and how it affects the blacks, especially the women slaves. This autobiography deals with the issue of slavery and the need for everyone to try to refrain from practicing it. The book also contains her journey and efforts to try to get her freedom from being a slave.
The bolded words in each of the quotes can be closely matched accordingly-
1.<u> Evinced means to show</u>. Considering the sentence or quote, we can infer that the author has so much intelligence that led to her masters to keep her.
2. <u>Forebore here means refused or concealed or refrain from mentioning</u>. This quote means that when Uncle Philip came with the good news, he told mother everything except some of the details about Benjamin, <em>"her darling"</em> so as not to hurt her.
3. The word<em> </em><u><em>"eking"</em></u><u> </u><u>signifies an effort or act to make a supply last economically</u>. This is evident when Harriet narrates how her mistress Mrs. Flint used to observe carefully how the provisions of the household were used. She mentions that she (Mrs. Flint) makes sure the slaves do not use up their provisions just to make themselves full. This shows a mean-spirited nature in most mistresses at those times.
4.<u> Disencumber most closely signifies one's desire to be free from or released from something or someone</u>. According to the quote, Harriet expressed her despise for her master who told her that <em>"[she] was made for his use, made to obey his command in everything"</em>. So, this is her expression of wanting her master gets swallowed up by the earth.
