What is Douglass’ tone in the second paragraph? Identify particular word or
phrasing choices that support that tone.
What is the effect of this tone on his
audience?
"...Above your national joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions!

I do not hesitate to declare, with all my soul, that the character and conduct of this nation never looked blacker to me than on this day! Whether we turn to the declarations of the
past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting. America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future."

Read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game." again rainsford lifted the heavy knocker, and let it fall. the door opened then, opened as suddenly as if it were on a spring, and rainsford stood blinking in the river of glaring gold light that poured out. the first thing rainsford's eyes discerned was the largest man rainsford had ever seen—a gigantic creature, solidly made and black bearded to the waist. in his hand the man held a long-barreled revolver, and he was pointing it straight at rainsford's heart. the details of this excerpt show that rainsford sees ivan as a(n) individual.
