Portraying the method of handling the captives in a different time and year is used as an example from Frederick Douglass's autobiography.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hillenbrand is able to illustrate the allusion to an American slave that helps the reader to understand the experience of Louie when the slave's owner's wife is kind, she is judged and said that slaves are not meant to be treated that way.

And once she listens to it, there is a drastic change in her behavior, she turns cruel and handles the slave in a quite rude way this time.

Portraying the method of handling the captives in a different time and year is used as an example from Frederick Douglass's autobiography.

Hillenbrand builds a connection with the woman and Japanese soldiers, illustrating her that slaves are meant to be brutal with and handle them like prisoners.
