This book was really interesting to me The Narrative Of Fredrick
Douglas. It was about his life and how he wanted to escape from slavery. He
was sold and traded to many different plantations. He really never knew his own
age. When he was born he was seperated from his mom and his whole family.
His father was white but he never saw him before, people told him that his
father was a slave owner. While he was growing up on the plantation he saw
people getting whipped for hours.
When he was sold to Balitimore a lady there taught him how to read and
write. Then when he got older he starting teaching other black people how to
read and write. He was the only slave that would fight back to there slave
owner. One time he was severly beat up because the slave owner heard that he
wanted to escape. When he escaped to the north, he start talking to people of
how it is was being a slave. Then he became a lecturer about slavery.
He was the only one that wanted to learn how to read, and he was the
only one that fought back at his slaveowners. I admire him for what he did. He
was also the only slave that really wanted to escape from his plantation and head
out to the north. After he escaped from slavery and headed out north, he told
people how it was there on the plantation, and black people were being whipped
and beaten for hours. All the people admired Fredrick Douglas for what he did.
He really let people know how it was being a slave.
