Ответ:
Douglass is describing a morally repugnant situation. He uses an objective style because he does not wish to sugarcoat what happened, but rather to elicit disgust in the reader at the treatment of slaves in Southern society. The comparison with pigs is particularly striking; the lowering of human beings to the condition of animals makes one recoil in horror. Not only are slaves treated like animals; they are not even satisfied. This makes his denunciation of slavery all the more powerful.
Ответ:
His matter-of-fact narration does not invite the feeling of pity. It made me see that despite their setbacks, they do the best they can to survive and it's a man for himself out there. This kind of behavior still very much evident in today's society though practiced in a more subtle way.
