Frederick Douglass achieves his purpose of persuading the reader to see his point by repeating the word "you" to directly relate to the reader.
Frederick Douglass gave his now famous speech "What, to the Slave, is the Fourth of July?" as a paradoxical reflection of American 'freedom'. The speech was a sort of re-addressing the issue of racism in America despite it being an independent and democratic nation.
- In the speech, Douglass directly 'addressed' the readers, using the pronoun "You" to make the point directed across the readers.
- He did not talk of things that happen in the third person voice but rather made it relevant by using a straightforward approach.
- Also, he made his point exact: "for revolting barbarity and shamelessness hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival."
And by directly addressing his readers/ listeners, Douglass achieves his purpose of persuading them to see his point of view. Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.
