Read the following excerpt from Frederick Douglass's Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave: I suffered much from hunger, but much more from cold. In hottest summer, and coldest winter, I was kept almost naked-no shoes, no stockings, no jacket, no trousers, nothing on but a coarse tow linen shirt, reaching only to my knees. I had no bed. Which of the following statements best explains how Douglass uses objectivity in this passage to convey his perspective? A. He avoids bias by specifying the seasons without actually mentioning the temperature. B. He uses pathos by referring to his hunger, which appeals to the reader's emotions. C. He simply lists the things that the author did not have, thus avoiding sentimentality. D. He uses formal word choices, such as "suffered much," to establish his credibility

    The correct answer is C. He simply lists the things that the author did not have, thus avoiding sentimentality. Douglass refuses to emotionally manipulate his public unlike Harriet Beecher Stowe did with her Uncle tom's Cabin. Objectivity refuses emotion (pathos) and appeals more to reasonable logic and common sense which in turn may ellicit an emotional response that is grounded on onjective findings. Here he simply enumerates the lack of clothing and bed that proved especially painful during the cold of Winter. By doing this he makes his audience think how they would react if they were subjected to the same destitution.
