Answer and Explanation:
The above is a quote and extract from the speech of Frederick Douglass(was a social advocate, abolitionist, and orator) in July 5, 1852 while addressing the Rochester ladies' anti-slavery society in New York. His speech was named What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?
In his speech he emphasizes the importance of July fourth as a commemoration of the liberty and independence of the black people from slavery, as he notes it, "the birthday of your national independence and political freedom". July fourth, 1776 was the day America got independence from England and is normally celebrated as such, but is also a day Black people celebrate their freedom from slavery.

Paragraph 31
''He bit his lips in annoyance, left the coffee-house and decided not to smile or look at anyone, which was not like him at all. Suddenly he stood rooted to the spot near the front door of some house and witnessed a most incredible sight. A carriage drew up at the entrance porch. The doors flew open and out jumped a uniformed, stooping gentleman who dashed up the steps. The feeling of horror and amazement that gripped Kovalyov when he recognized his own nose defies description! After this extraordinary sight everything went topsy-turvy. He could hardly keep to his feet, but decided at all costs to wait until the nose returned to the carriage, although he was shaking all over and felt quite feverish.''
Answer: To show how people are taking themselves too seriously although they are the same as others
Explanation:
In this paragraph, we can the main situation in ''The Nose'' by Nikolai Gogol and that is Kovalyov's nose loss which is showing a lot of irony and grotesque. He was terrified when he found out that his nose is walking freely on the streets but he was the most worried about what the other people will think about his loss.
- With this irony, Gogol's purpose was to show readers how nonsense is the social position or title. He showed that most people are taking themselves too seriously because they are thinking that they are important in society but actually they are like everyone else.
This story is surreal but it is shown in the most realistic and detailed way.
