Paraphrase the sentence below.

"I believe Douglass’s “hope” was the possibility of a better life. Douglass is excited to see whether he can find a better world in Baltimore. I also picked up on the sadness that is a part of Douglass’s “hope.” Even though he is excited to move to Baltimore, he tells himself that, no matter what, it won’t be any worse than the life he already has."

Please help!!!!!!

Thank you!!!
