Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick
Douglass.
My new mistress proved to be all she appeared when I first
met her at the door,-a woman of the kindest heart and finest
feelings. She had never had a slave under her control
previously to myself, and prior to her marriage she had been
dependent upon her own industry for a living. She was by
trade a weaver, and by constant application to her business,
she had been in a good degree preserved from the blighting
and dehumanizing effects of slavery. I was utterly
astonished at her goodness.
What effect does Douglass's use of the adjectives Digning
and dehumanizing" have on the reader?
They create an image of the quality of the mistress
weaving
They emphasize the damage slavery causes to a
slaveholder's character.
They describe the harsh treatment that Douglas
received from his mistress
They illustrate the mistress's kindness toward Douglas
