Question

Read the excerpt from Twelve Years a Slave Chapter 9:

Answer 1

Answer:

Northup feels unhappy, melancholy, trapped, hopeless and alone.

Explanation:

"Twelve Years a Slave" is a memoir in which author Solomon Northup recounts his experiences after being kidnapped and sold as a slave after living as a free black man who raised a family.

Although you didn't boldly mark any of the sentences presented in the excerpt shown in the question above, we can see that the excerpt is extremely sentimental, as it addresses the sadness and hopelessness that Northup felt when he was kidnapped and sold. The excerpt shows that Northup is extremely unhappy, melancholy and desperate. He goes so far as to wish he had died when he was younger to avoid feeling that sadness again. That's because in addition to losing his freedom, Northup was robbed and taken away from his family that he loved dearly.
