Read the following passages and answer the question that follows.

passage a: (from narrative of the life of frederick douglass, an american slave by frederick douglass)
"sunday was my only leisure time. i spent this in a sort of beast-like stupor (meaning "daze"), between sleep and wake, under some large tree. at times i would rise up, a flash of energetic freedom would dart through my soul, accompanied with a faint beam of hope, that flickered for a moment, and then vanished. i sank down again, mourning over my wretched (miserable) condition."

passage b: (from the adventures of huckleberry finn by mark twain)
"it was awful thoughts, and awful words, but they was said. and i let them stay said, and never thought no more about reforming. i shoved the whole thing out of my head, and said i would take up wickedness again, which was in my line, being brung up to it, and the other warn't. and for a starter, i would go to work and steal jim out of slavery again; and if i could think up anything worse, i would do that, too; because as long as i was in, and in for good, i might as well go the whole hog."

what theme do the two passages share?

the importance of having freedom

the value of uninterrupted leisure time

crime does not pay no matter the motive

what seems wrong can sometimes be what is right
