Question

Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass:

As to my own treatment while I lived on Colonel Lloyd's plantation, it was very similar to that of the other slave children. I was not old enough to work in the field, and there being little else than field work to do, I had a great deal of leisure time. The most I had to do was to drive up the cows at evening, keep the fowls out of the garden, keep the front yard clean, and run of errands for my old master's daughter, Mrs. Lucretia Auld. The most of my leisure time I spent in helping Master Daniel Lloyd in finding his birds, after he had shot them. . . . I was seldom whipped by my old master, and suffered little from any thing else than hunger and cold.

A. He creates pathos by referring to his hunger and being whipped to make readers feel sorry for him.
B. He uses formal word choice, like "errands" and "seldom," to establish his credibility.

Step-by-step explanation:

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave was distributed in 1845, under seven years after Douglass got away from subjection. The book was a moment achievement, selling 4,500 duplicates in the initial four months. For a mind-blowing duration, Douglass kept on reexamining and extend his personal history, distributing a second form in 1855 as My Bondage and My Freedom. The third form of Douglass' self-portrayal was distributed in 1881 as Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, and an extended variant of Life and Times was distributed in 1892. These different retellings of Douglass' story all start with his introduction to the world and youth, yet each new form underlines the common impact and close connection of Douglass' existence with key events in American history.
