Read this excerpt from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. I used to talk this matter of slavery over with them. I would sometimes say to them, I wished I could be as free as they would be when they got to be men. "You will be free as soon as you are twenty-one, but I am a slave for life! Have not I as good a right to be free as you have?" These words used to trouble them; they would express for me the liveliest sympathy, and console me with the hope that something would occur by which I might be free.

What is the children’s attitude toward Douglass?

They are annoyed by his thought-provoking question.
They hope he will learn to be happy, no matter what happens.
They are convinced that he should remain enslaved.
They wish his fate could be as favorable as their own.
