Read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

again and again i had [traveled] those dreary twelve miles to and from the town; and all the way, i was meditating upon some means of escape for myself and made every effort to [ . . bring about] our purchase, but all their plans had [failed]. dr. flint was suspicious and determined not to loosen his grasp upon us. i could have made my escape alone; but it was more for my children than for myself that i longed for freedom. although [freedom] would have been precious to me, above all price, i would not have taken it at the expense of leaving them in slavery. every trial i endured, every sacrifice i made for their sakes, drew them closer to my heart, and gave me fresh courage to beat back the dark waves that rolled and rolled over me in a seemingly endless night of storms. .

the excerpt readers understand that harriet jacobs felt

anxious and determined.
suspicious and confused.
lighthearted and carefree.

anxious and determined

Harriet Jacobs is determined in this passage. She says that she "was meditating upon some means of escape". She is however anxious because she doesn't want to leave her children behind. She says that it would be better to remain in slavery with her children than leave them for freedom. This sacrifice gives her "fresh courage". The excerpt does not show Harriet Jacobs as helpless or frightened. Nor does it show her as confused or carefree.
