Question

I was probably between seven and eight years old when I left Colonel Lloyd's plantation. I left it with joy. I shall never forget the ecstasy with which I received the intelligence that my old master (Anthony) had determined to let me go to Baltimore, to live with Mr. Hugh Auld, brother to my old master's son-in-law, Captain Thomas Auld. I received this information about three days before my departure. They were three of the happiest days I ever enjoyed. I spent the most part of all these three days in the creek, washing off the plantation scurf, and preparing myself for my departure.

Which detail from the passage is evidence that Douglass experiences optimism despite his circumstances?

Answer 1

I shall never forget the ecstasy with which I received the intelligence that my old master (Anthony) had determined to let me go to Baltimore... is evidence that Douglass experiences optimism despite his circumstances.

Explanation:

The movement that sought to end slavery in the US was called abolitionism. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is a memoir dealing with the subject of abolition written by Frederick Douglass, orator and former slave, during his time in Lynn, Massachusetts. It was first published in 1845. It is considered the most famous of all works written by former slaves of that period and one of the most influential works related to the abolitionist movement.

Life of slaves wasn't an easy one, especially for children. In the given passage, we can see that young Douglass is looking forward to leaving the plantation he had to work on. The feeling he experienced when he was told that he gets to leave he describes as ecstasy. Despite continuing to work in tough conditions for three more days, he was still happy and optimistic, and the sentence that tells about his optimism is I shall never forget the ecstasy with which I received the intelligence that my old master (Anthony) had determined to let me go to Baltimore, to live with Mr. Hugh Auld, brother to my old master's son-in-law, Captain Thomas Auld.
