While reading chapter 5 I felt hopeful for Frederick Douglas because he was moving to the city of Baltimore. Frederick didn't find it hard to leave Colonel Lloyd's plantation because he didn't have any family there. Also, Frederick was very hopeful for the future. I felt Frederick's living condition was better in Baltimore than on the plantation. I liked Frederick's attitude because he felt very grateful to be in Baltimore.
In chapter 6 I felt happy because Frederick started learning how to read and write from his mistress. Her husband made her stop teaching Frederick. Frederick was becoming more powerful by learning how to read and write because ultimately knowledge is power. Frederick was definitely happier in Baltimore and was very excited about learning.
While reading chapter 7 I felt very optimistic because Frederick started reading books. This opened his eyes to slavery and how horrible it really was. This book also opened his eyes to freedom. A part in the story where Frederick argued for humanity was after reading the books he detested his enslavers and thought of them as robbers. The way Frederick learned how to write was intriguing to me. He would tell people that he could write better than they could. He would want them to write so he could learn their words they wrote down.
i liked your response and how you put it into writitng. i agree with you on the part with humanity but i think that part could have been alittle longer.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you got into the reading and how you showed in your response how he was happy to leave the plantion and how he was greatful to learn how to read and write that was great and i hope that your other response are good like this to.
