Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze the quote. The quote uses a comparison of hands (different color, same pain and blood color) to argue for shared humanity. For example, "That hand is not the color of yours, but if I pierce it, I shall feel pain" shows the use of a physical comparison (hand piercing) to highlight that despite skin - color differences, the experience of pain and the color of blood are the same, emphasizing the speaker's humanity ("I am a man").

Answer:

I notice that the quote uses a comparison of hands (specifically the experience of pain when pierced and the color of blood) to emphasize shared humanity; for example, it says "That hand is not the color of yours, but if I pierce it, I shall feel pain" to show that despite skin - color differences, the pain and blood color are the same, leading to the conclusion "I am a man".
