Read the poem.

i like to bake a cake
and make sure nothing is at stake.
i had so many thrown in my face.
i'm in a race
to eat my lovely cake.
and sometimes its even fake!

yet every single time.
no matter if it is coated in lime.
i end up with frosting
that is so dearly costing
in my face!
as i said i'm in a race
and i am not happy
and surly not sappy
that once again my face
and no different in every other case
get covered in cake
which i have to rake.

"come, aunt martha," said the kind lady, "tell me all about it. perhaps i can do something to you." which of these important concepts uncommon to abolitionist literature does jacobs depict in the excerpt? 1. some kind white characters were included in slave narratives so that northerners would not be offended. 2. southern society was complex and diverse with both good and bad people unlike northern stereotypes showed. 3. many kind slave owners and their slaves developed deep friendships. 4. most whites and blacks lived in harmony in the south and made efforts to each other. a. 1 and 4 b. 1 and 3 c. 1 and 2 d. 2 and 3
