In this excerpt, what would make Douglass’ task “light” and “delightful”?
A) being reimbursed for his labor and sufferings as a slave
B) getting the benefit of a even a small fee for making this speech
C) speaking on a day when the sun was warm and bright
D) granting the slaves freedom to truly enjoy independence
The correct answer is D) granting the slaves freedom to truly enjoy independence.
In the excerpt, Douglass likely found his task “light” and “delightful” because the ultimate goal of his speech was to advocate for the freedom and independence of enslaved people. Achieving freedom would relieve the burdens of enslavement and allow individuals to genuinely experience joy and autonomy, making the act of speaking about it a positive and uplifting experience for him.
