Frederick Douglass

answer any two of the questions below:

1. Describe the event from Douglass's narrative that affected you the most. Use specific details and make it clear that you read for today.

2. "The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it, for man is an imitative animal" (Norton Southern Lit. Anth. 52) Thomas Jefferson wrote these words about slavery. Describe one scene from one of the slave narratives that illustrates Jefferson's point. Be as specific as possible.

3. A Slave Narrative was an important persuasive document that usually followed guidelines (see my Douglass video to get these guidelines).

Find two quotations that demonstrate these guidelines. Quote them here and explain how you see them working. Be sure not to use a quotation that someone else has used already if you want full credit.
