Douglass uses logos when explaining the reasoning behind why slavery was considered to be humane. He uses a biblical reference to provide the evidence to support his reasoning of why slavery was happening. Since he used evidence to support what he as talking about, this quote appeals to logos. When Douglass provides this evidence, it causes you to trust it more just because he is providing actual facts not just an opinion.

This quote really makes you feel hurt for Douglass when reading it, which is why it appeals to pathos. When Douglass shares that he really doesn't even know his age, it makes you realize that most people take simple things such as knowing your age for granted which sparks emotion. Even though the author uses pathos multiple times throughout the first chapters, this particular quote stood out since he put it in the first few sentences which allows readers to feel emotion early on.

Since Douglass was a slave, he is a credible source when he talks about how much food a slave got monthly. A reader would most likely trust someone that was a slave more since they experienced getting that small amount of food every month rather than someone who wasn't a slave. Douglass uses this experience and knowledge to appeal to ethos. The author allows the readers to feel comfortable with his knowledge, which makes him someone worth listening too when talking about slavery.
