Question

I had no bed. I must have perished with cold, but that, the coldest nights, I used to steal a bag which was used for carrying corn to the mill. I would crawl into this bag, and there sleep on the cold, damp, clay floor, with my head in and feet out. My feet have been so cracked with the frost, that the pen with which I am writing might be laid in the gashes. How does this excerpt exemplify a personal narrative? by including important historical events through researched facts about a person’s life through thoughts and reflections from the author by including imaginary, made-up details

C. through thoughts and reflections from the author

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

C. through thoughts and reflections from the author

Step-by-step explanation:

A narrative is a passage of writing that is written in first person, or the author's point of view. Because the author is narrating the story, the writer can include his/her own thoughts, reflections, feelings, senses, etc into the story so the reader can better picture what it's like.

Here, this is an excerpt from The Narrative of an American Slave, by Frederick Douglass, and he gives his thoughts of his pitiful experiences: "I must have perished with cold, but that, the coldest nights, I used to steal a bag which was used for carrying corn to the mill...My feet have been so cracked with the frost, that the pen with which I am writing might be laid in the gashes."

Thus, the answer is C.

Hope this helps!
