Which of the following statements best explains how douglass uses objectivity in this passage to convey his perspective? a. he avoids bias by specifying the seasons without actually mentioning the temperature. b. he uses pathos by referring to his hunger, which appeals to the reader's emotions. c. he simply lists the things that the author did not have, thus avoiding sentimentality. d. he uses formal word choices, such as "suffered much," to establish his credibility.

The correct answer is C) He simply lists the things that the author did not have, thus avoiding sentimentality. In his 1845-memoir Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Frederick Douglass narrates the events during his time in Massachusetts. Douglas avoids the use of pathos (emotion) or some emotions that can bias his story. Unlike other 19th Century-narratives about slavery like Uncle Tom’s Cabin or Twelve Years a Slave, Douglas does not endow his story with a deep emotional charge.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
