Question

why does Douglas use parallelism

Answer 1

Douglass uses parallelism throughout the passage, like in the above quote where he is comparing himself to the ship. The parallelism serves to draw a direct comparison between the freedom of the ship and Douglass's oppression. Its purpose is to make the piece more memorable by creating symmetry. It is also used to capture readers and lead them to the main point.
