Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

According to parts of his books, he wants to show how brutal slaves were treated but he never had the intention to play the victme on his books, all the terrible moments he mentions on his books made him go on and on because they, uncounsciously, fed his desire for freedom and helping other slaves.
