What is the most likely reason the author includes paragraph 4 in the selection? Cite evidence from the selection to support your answer.

Answer 1

The author probably includes paragraph 4 to demonstrate how Douglass learned how to read (by giving bread to children and having them teach him in return. Evidence:

“As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers.”

“The bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge.”

Answer 2

I think that the author included this to show how much he wanted to read and be free to do it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The last sentences where it says "Have I not as good a right to be free as you have?", "As many as I could, I converted into teachers," "..would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge" show that he wanted to learn and that he wanted to be free. He has given bread to learn how to read.
