Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick
Douglass.
And, to cap the climax of their base ingratitude and fiendish
barbarity, my grandmother, who was now very old, having
outlived my old master and all his children, having seen the
beginning and end of all of them, and her present owners
finding she was of but little value, her frame already racked
with the pains of old age, and complete helplessness fast
stealing over her once active limbs, they took her to the
woods, built her a little hut, put up a little mud-chimney, and
then made her welcome to the privilege of supporting herself
there in perfect loneliness; thus virtually turning her out to
die!
What effect does Douglass's use of the words "welcome,"
"privilege," and "perfect" have in this paragraph?
They are used sarcastically to emphasize the cruel
treatment of his grandmother.
They provide a contrast between the wealthy, powerful
master and the enslaved person.
They demonstrate the kind treatment Douglass's
grandmother received from her master.
They are used to describe Douglass's grandmother's
dreams of one day being set free.
