The first paragraph can say this:
In the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass when they say a slave is no better than an animal they mean that slaves were always treated like animals by their slave masters and they also ate like animals.
Last paragraph:
When they say that hypocrisy in religion is used to justify slavery they mean that slave owners always said that slaves weren't allowed to learn how to read or write and they weren't allowed to believe in religion either.
I hope this helps.
