Step-by-step explanation:

Douglass's fight with Covey is the climax of the Narrative—it marks Douglass's turning point from demoralized slave to confident, freedom-seeking man. Douglass achieves this transformation by matching and containing Covey's own violence and by showing himself to be Covey's opposite.
