What kind of rhetoric is Douglass using in this passage from "Learning to Read and Write"? "The more I read, the more I was led to abhor and detest my enslavers. I could regard them in no other light than a band of successful robbers, who had left their homes, and gone to Africa, and stolen us from our homes, and in a strange land reduced us to slavery. I loathed them as being the meanest as well as the most wicked of men." A. Appeal based on the reputation and character of the speaker B. Appeal to the reader's emotions C. Appeal to the reader's logic
I think the best answer would be B. He's talking about how he's growing to hate the people who enslaved him and the things that make him hate them.
