<span>Never give up. is your answer.
Note that, even though the mission is almost impossible, the character "<em>never gives up trying</em>" to accomplish it, which means that "Never give up" is the theme of the story.

Cliches like "in the nick of time", "throughout history", "in this day and age", "little did i know" and "good things come to those who wait" are some of the most overused and annoying cliches. Cliches are usually not acceptable in academic writing because of a few factors:
1. Cliches sometimes make you seem boring. When using a cliche, you are giving the reader the impression that you lack originality, which will make them want to stop reading your paper.
2. Cliches make you seem lazy. The reader will just assume that you do not want to put your mind to something and be creative.
3. Cliches make you lose credibility. The person reading your paper will not trust you as a valid source if you cannot come up with a better description than a cliche.
4. Cliches cannot be used as actual evidence. Because cliches are not specific, they do not offer strong enough commentary to prove your point.
To conclude, cliches are overused and will not help you in any way while writing a paper.

Douglass’s Narrative shows how white slaveholders perpetuate slavery by keeping their slaves ignorant. At the time Douglass was writing, many people believed that slavery was a natural state of being. They believed that blacks were inherently incapable of participating in civil society and thus should be kept as workers for whites. The Narrative explains the strategies and procedures by which whites gain and keep power over blacks from their birth onward. Slave owners keep slaves ignorant of basic facts about themselves, such as their birth date or their paternity. This enforced ignorance robs children of their natural sense of individual identity. As slave children grow older, slave owners prevent them from learning how to read and write, as literacy would give them a sense of self‑sufficiency and capability. Slaveholders understand that literacy would lead slaves to question the right of whites to keep slaves. Finally, by keeping slaves illiterate, Southern slaveholders maintain control over what the rest of America knows about slavery. If slaves cannot write, their side of the slavery story cannot be told. Wendell Phillips makes this point in his prefatory letter to the Narrative.
