Compare And Contrast Frederick Douglass And Shyima
This essay compares and contrasts the stories of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and Slave Girl in California.
The summary of both articles describes the lives of Frederick Douglass and Shyima, who grew up as slaves. They didn’t know how to read or write, and they didn't even know their birthdays. When they were sold, they struggled with their lives, because slaves were not allowed very many freedoms.
Frederick Douglass rarely saw his mother, because he only saw her at night, until he turned seven. He never knew who his father was, but according to rumors, his father was his master. Shyima knew her mother and father, but was sold to another family; in exchange, her family received money from the new family.
