Read the passage.

From My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass Although slavery was a delicate subject, and very cautiously talked about among grownup people in Maryland, I frequently talked about it—and that very freely—with the white boys. I would, sometimes, say to them, . . . “I wish I could be free, as you will be when you get to be men.” . . . Words like these, I observed, always troubled them.
