Iam for the "immediate, unconditional, and universal" enfranchisement of the black man, in every state in the union. [loud applause.] without this, his liberty is a mockery; without this, you might as well almost retain the old name of slavery for his condition; for in fact, if he is not the slave of the individual master, he is the slave of society, and holds his liberty as a privilege, not as a right. he is at the mercy of the mob, and has no means of protecting himself. how does the repetition of the phrase “without this” support the paragraph’s argument?
a. it reinforces the idea that without equality in the us, the idea of a free society is a joke.
b. it suggests that a free society is possible, with or without equal rights for all people.
c. it indicates that douglass would be content without material possessions or status.
d. it proposes that slavery will not be abolished in the us without the support of all citizens.

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
