In lines 97–110, Douglass presents a long list of things that black people are doing. Then in lines 123–130, he presents a list of the wrongs that are done to slaves. How do these two different lists serve Douglass’s purpose in giving the speech? The list of accomplishments reminds the audience that blacks are equal in their accomplishments and human aspirations to whites and contribute in many ways to the American society. Following this evidence closely with the shocking list of abuses against slaves reinforces the idea that slavery is an inhumane institution. He believes the audience would not sanction such actions against people who are like themselves. However, the long list serves to remind the audience of the hypocrisy of allowing these abuses to be perpetrated on people who are unlike themselves. This serves Douglass's purpose by helping to convince the audience that they should act to change what is happening.

" echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted.
