What to the slave is the fourth of july? What is the attitude of the author? Is the author emotional, objective, neutral, or biased about this topic? What types of details “tell” the author’s feelings about the topic? What types of diction (choice of words), syntax (sentence structure), and imagery (metaphors, similes, and other types of figurative language) help reflect the tone? How would you read the passage aloud if you were the author?

Apologies for the inconvenience, but it seems there was an error with the document you were referring to. To determine the author's attitudes and feelings, we would typically look at their choice of words, sentence structure, imagery, and the detail he/she includes regarding the subject. However, in this case, the document is not accessible or readable.

If you were referring to the speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" by Frederick Douglass, I can tell you that Douglass, a former slave himself, deep emotion and bias regarding the topic. His attitude is critical and sorrowful of the hypocrisy of a nation celebrating freedom and independence while millions are enslaved. His diction uses strong, hard-hitting words, his syntax often includes rhetorical questions exclamatory statements, and his imagery draws stark contrasts between the experiences of the enslaved people and the free Americans celebrating Independence Day. If one were to read the passage aloud in the author's stead, it might require a firm and passionate tone reflecting the author's indignation and fervor for the subject matter.

Please correct or provide more information if my assumption about the document is not correct.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?Frederick Douglass, circa 1852DateJuly5,1852VenueCorinthian HallLocationRochester, New York, United StatesCoordinates430923N 773646W / 43.15639N 77.61278WThemeSlavery in the United StatesParticipantsFrederick DouglassTranscript of speech "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?"[1][2] was a speech delivered by Frederick Douglass on July 5, 1852, at Corinthian Hall in Rochester, New York, at a meeting organized by the Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society.[3] In the address, Douglass states that positive statements about perceived American values, such as liberty, citizenship, and freedom, were an offense to the enslaved population of the United States because they lacked those rights. Douglass referred not only to the captivity of enslaved people, but to the merciless exploitation and the cruelty and torture that slaves were subjected to in the United States.[4] Noted for its biting irony and bitter rhetoric, and acute textual analysis of the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Christian Bible, the speech is among the most widely known of all of Douglass's writings.[5] Many copies of one section of it, beginning in paragraph 32, have been circulated online.[6] Due to this and the variant titles given to it in various places, and the fact that it is called a July Fourth Oration but was actually delivered on July 5, some confusion has arisen about the date and contents of the speech. The speech has since been published under the above title in The Frederick Douglass Papers, Series One, Vol. 2. (1982).[7] Background[edit] Corinthian Hall, where the speech was given. The Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society was founded in 1851. The inaugural meeting between six women took place in Corinthian Hall on August 20.[8] Frederick Douglass had moved to Rochester in 1847 in order to publish his newspaper The North Star.[9][10] He had previously lived in Boston, but did not want his newspaper to interfere with sales of The Liberator, published by William Lloyd Garrison.[10] Douglass had spoken at Corinthian Hall in the past. He had delivered a series of seven lectures about slavery there in the winter of 185051.[11] Additionally, he had spoken there less than three months prior to this speech, on March 25. In that speech, he cast the abolitionist movement as being engaged in a "War" against defenders of slavery.[12] According to the 1850 Census, there were around 3.2 million enslaved persons in the United States.[13] Although the import of people directly from Africa had been banned in 1807,[14] the domestic slave trade, still legal, was thriving. Over 150,000 persons were sold between 1820 and 1830, and over 300,000 were sold between 1850 and 1860.[15] In 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act had passed Congress as part of the broader Compromise of 1850. This act forced people to report people who had escaped their enslavement and escaped to a free state, under punishment of a fine or imprisonment.[16] Additionally, it awarded $10 to a judge who sentenced an individual to return to enslavement, while awarding only $5 if the claim was dismissed.[16][17] Finally, the Act did not allow the accused individual to defend themselves in court.[17] This act drew the ire of the abolitionist movement,[9] and was directly criticized by Douglass in his speech. Speech[edit] The 4th of July Address, delivered in Corinthian Hall, by Frederick Douglass, is published on good paper, and makes a neat pamphlet of forty pages. The 'Address' may be had at this office, price ten cents, a single copy, or six dollars per hundred. Advertisement for the pamphlet of Douglass' speech from the July 12, 1852, edition of Frederick Douglass' Paper (formerly The North Star) The 1852 pamphlet printing of the speech Douglass begins by saying that the fathers of the nation were great statesmen, and that the values expressed in the Declaration of Independence were "saving principle
