Answer 1

Answer: Express how the use of diction and structure help achieve the purpose of Chapter 4 in The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. How do these show the brutality of slavery when juxtaposed against Chapter 3?

Explanation: Douglass structures this chapter by moving from a general recounting of the deeds of an overseer, Mr. Gore, who was considered an exemplary slave manager in eyes of the white community, to more specific accounts of individual incidents in which slaves suffered, with an emphasis on the unprosecuted murders of slaves.
