They both advised me to run away to the north; that I should find friends there, and that I should be free. I pretended not to be interested in what they said, and treated them as if I did not understand them; for I feared they might be treacherous. White men have been known to encourage slaves to escape, and then, to get the reward, catch them and return them to their masters. … I nevertheless remembered their advice, and from that time I resolved to run away. By including this event in his narrative, published in 1845, Douglass is writing to what possible audience?
A) all audiences, stating facts as he remembers them
B) adults interested in historical context of African-Americans
C) white people in an appeal of pathos to their sense of injustice
D) fellow slaves to encourage them
