When a critic is attempting to interpret a piece of writing, the question that he must ask is "How did the author say it?". The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

When writing, an author can speak about many usual or unusual subjects; for example: love. Love is a very common subject, but the greatness about an author and his/her work is not in the subjects he/she chooses, but in the way he/she writes about it, what he/she does with the subject. We -readers- can even disagree with the author's beliefs about the subject, that is why it doesn't really matter what he/she says about it. What it really matters is the unique way in which the author expresses him/herself in the piece of work.

C sounds correct

Answer from: Quest

its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver but douglass has suffered whoppings cut even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.
