Frederick Douglass Ethos
Comparisons can be drawn from anything, no matter how different they are from one another. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and the “Report of the National Committee on a National Press” are different in almost every way but the ways they convey their arguments. Through diction, pathos, and imagery Douglass and the Report convey their ideas for the abolishment of slavery.
Pathos
The abolishment of slavery was a huge topic in the 19th century, and was debated even at the founding of the United States. The fact that there are narratives of slaves fighting for freedom and requests for an African American ran press to educate the masses is of no surprise, and to get what they wanted they would need to sway people with the use of emotion.
