Read the following passages and answer the question that follows.

passage a: (from narrative of the life of frederick douglass, an american slave by frederick douglass)
"sunday was my only leisure time. i spent this in a sort of beast-like stupor (meaning "daze"), between sleep and wake, under some large tree. at times i would rise up, a flash of energetic freedom would dart through my soul, accompanied with a faint beam of hope, that flickered for a moment, and then vanished. i sank down again, mourning over my wretched (miserable) condition."

passage b: (from the adventures of huckleberry finn by mark twain)
"it was awful thoughts, and awful words, but they was said. and i let them stay said, and never thought no more about reforming. i shoved the whole thing out of my head, and said i would take up wickedness again, which was in my line, being brung up to it, and the other warn't. and for a starter, i would go to work and steal jim out of slavery again; and if i could think up anything worse, i would do that, too; because as long as i was in, and in for good, i might as well go the whole hog."
