In 4th paragraph, why might equiano have included a description of the flogging of a white man? cite your evidence from the text to support your response

Equiano wanted to show the white man's cruelty through his narrative. He included a description of the flogging of a white man to show that if a white man could be so cruel towards a member of his own race, how would he treat a member of the black race, which at the time he considered inferior. He started fearing for his own life even more at this point.

"One white man in particular I saw, when we were permitted to be on deck, flogged so unmercifully with a large rope near the foremast, that he died in consequence of it; and they tossed him over the side as they would have done a brute. This made me fear these people the more; and I expected nothing less than to be treated in the same manner."

the personification of the word prudence d) it effectively enhances the logos and ethos of the argument.

logos means appeal to the logic or reasoning of the people.

ethos means appeal to the credibility of the argument, that it is worth listening to and acting upon.
