Read the passage.I was most narrowly watched in all my movements. If I remained in a separate room from the family for any considerable length of time, I was . . . at once called upon to give an account of myself.In My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass, why do the Aulds watch Douglass carefully?They worry he will become upset about being a slave.They fear he will sway others against slavery.They do not believe in allowing their slaves privacy.They want to prevent him from reading.
