Answer 1

This question is about "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass"

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.
