Question: English & Literature

Examine Douglass's use of personal pronouns "I and you". When does he use each one and to what effect?

This is also a question concerning the Narrative of "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July"?

In the below example, you can see that his use of the word 'your' is meant to show them that there still exists a separation. The independence that the nation is enjoying does not include independence for the slaves. Douglas does not feel a part of the nation, nor a part of the celebration, even though he is giving the speech.
