Frederick Douglass Compare And Contrast
Frederick Douglass and I are complementary in many ways. Believe it or not, I can actually see myself as the young woman version of Frederick Douglass in the 21st century. We have a bundle of similarities, but we also have our distinct variations in our education such as how we learned, what we learned, and what we used to learn. For example, one of us may have had more resources but didn’t really have a specific pattern or order to do it, but the other, even though he didn’t have as much, was more organized on how he wanted to learn. In other words, he had an actual plan mapped out. Mr. Douglass was not well-heeled whatsoever. As a matter of fact, he was a slave. He didn’t have much in terms of finances, but the young lad had two consummate …show more content…
My whole has musical talent, although only my sister Carole does it for a career. My dad plays trumpet and accordion and can sing. My mom plays piano and sings. My sister plays the flute very beautifully (that is what her master’s degree is in) and also sings. My granny sings and plays piano. My paw paw sings, and I play guitar, sing, and play hand-bells at my church. I’ve played other instruments too, such as trumpet and piano, but I put those behind me years ago. Although in the end, piano ended up not being my thing, it gave me the push I needed to be able to read music which would give me the sturdy foundation to make music. I still had music lessons, but the display of my music skills did not appear in a lesson or by someone reading a song book to me. My ears were the key to that. When I was a little girl, I loved to listen to ABBA with my dad in the car. My parents were amazed when I told them what song I wanted, but I didn’t do it by telling them the track number or the name of the song. Instead, I would sing the tune, and if I knew it really well, I would sing the tune along with some of the lyrics. The reason I was able to do this was because of hearing music all around my house my entire life. Eventually I understood the idea of a song having a starting …show more content…
I started this because I didn’t get to take it in high school because Lutheran South Academy didn’t offer it. Whenever I saw my friends (who actually got to take that class in their school) signing words in songs, whether at church, or during vocal warm ups, I would get envious. Finally after watching them many times, and imitating them, I finally said to myself “Alright! Enough is enough! I want to learn this language. I desire to actually understand why it is done this way, and what the grammatical structure is. I’m sick of only being able to just watch and imitate them. Copying may help a little, but I need more! I am going to learn American Sign Language. I refuse to be left out because I didn’t get the chance in high school”. Now I am absolutely certain I made a great decision, because I’m having a blast with it. Whenever I get a chance, sometimes I will practice by signing

    He is completely astonished by the wealth and hard work he observes in the town. Witnessing a strong economic center not based on slavery was shocking for Douglass. All his life he had seen that it was the negro's sweat and blood which gave life for so many others. But, here, it was different. “I was for once made glad by a view of extreme wealth, without being saddened by seeing extreme poverty” (78).…

    One phrase that comes to mind after reading and comparing the lives, beliefs, and character of Fredrick Douglass and Benjamin Franklin is, two men that "shared a similar journey but walked different paths". Similarities started early on in both men's lives that ultimately shaped their beliefs and values, and molded their characters. Both men grew up being deprived to certain extents of having a full education. Unlike Benjamin Franklin, Fredrick Douglass held little to no rights early in life being held as a slave and deemed as property to a master. Fredrick Douglass was introduced to education by his mistress and from the moment of being introduced, education was something that he held dear to him and always sought after. Similar in circumstance, Benjamin Franklin too was held hostage from an education to pursue a trade, but he too always had a sense of self improvement and progress. Both men were in surroundings of a deprived environment when it comes to the subject of education. During this time, it was more common for African Americans to be removed from the nature of learning. All in all both men being held back, and restricted, lead them to becoming self taught and successes in their individual fields.…

    By the time he was twelve he had been sent to live with, professor of religion and poor farm-renter, Mr. Covey. Covey was notorious for taking slaves from different slaveholders “for the sake of training” (Ch.9 pg.69). While living with Covey, he underwent being a field hand for the first time. Being a first-time field hand meant experiencing severe whippings. One specific beating left a sour taste in his mouth, but lead to his next glimmer of hope. While working alongside three other men on the hottest day in August 1833, Douglass fell ill, so ill he could barely stand on his feet; Consequently, Covey beat him so horribly he was bleeding not only from his side but from his head. On his hike, back from talking to Master Thomas, he encountered another slave that gifted him a “root” of protection. To Douglass, I believe this root was the sign of hope that he needed to stand up to not only Mr. Covey but to all slaveholders. Eventually, Douglass got his hands-on Covey then, gave him a taste of his own medicine; This event scared startled Mr. Covey so much he “trembled like a leaf” (Ch. 10 pg. 81). I believe this event was significant to Douglass because, it gave him a taste of what freedom was to not take orders from any slaveholder. I also believe Douglass was proud of himself for showing the slaveholders what it’s like to be in the hands of another person and have no control over what comes next.…

    In his first paragraph Douglass explains how he first acquired his literacy skills with “no regular teacher” but would be taught by his mistress. Who at a one point supported Douglass's education until under the “direction” of her husband ceased teaching him and attempted to negate any chance of Douglass obtaining any more knowledge. But Douglass noted satirically that his mistress was in need of “some training” in “the exercise…

    The Narrative of Frederick Douglass is a memoir of a former slave who is known now as an abolitionist. This autobiography takes place in Eastern Shore of Maryland; Baltimore; New York City; New Bedford, Massachusetts. Douglass serves his life on a plantation where life is not thought to be that difficult. Being a child, he serves in the household instead of in the fields. At a very young age he was given to Hugh Auld, who lived in Baltimore (Douglass 1845). In Baltimore, Douglass lives more freely. In general, city slave-owners are more aware of not making them look cruel when handling slave so that their neighbors would not think of them as evil. Sophia Auld, Hugh’s wife, has never owned slaves before, and therefore she is very nice to Douglass at first.…

    Over the course of Douglass’s life, he came to realize that slavery was a “poor school for the head and heart” (Douglass 4) and steadfastly attempted to transcend the education barrier built up against slaves. After his timely departure from Colonel Lloyd’s plantation, Douglass was transported to Baltimore where he met the Auld family and learned to read. When Mr. Auld heard about his wife’s private sessions he became enraged because education was thought to be linked with autonomous thought processes, which could rival the established authority and potentially lead to insurrection. Although Mrs. Auld was reprimanded for teaching Douglass and was forced to stop, this only increased his desire to read and so he took to the streets and manipulated…

    Fredrick Douglass’ disadvantage in life was that he was born a slave in 1818. Only through determination was he able to escape slavery and go on to become an acclaimed abolitionist speaker as well as a published writer. Frederick Douglass was determined to read and write and taught himself. His mistress taught him the alphabet, but no more. In Douglass’ essay he describes his plan, “The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom I met in the street. As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers” (152). Through reading and writing he gained knowledge which gave him choices and he was determined not to be a slave for life. Richard Wright was born in 1908, but because he was a Negro and born in the South in a time of segregation, he was not afforded opportunities that were given to white members of society. He was fortunate that he was able to go to school and knew how to read. He had a love for reading and a longing for knowledge, however; because he was a Negro he was not allowed to patronize the library to check out books. He was determined to find a way to do so. He not only had to find a way to check out books at the library, but he explains that he had to be careful in doing so. Richard Wright…

    Frederick Douglass was a slave for about seven years in Master Hugh’s family. In the beginning, his mistress was such a kind, loving, gentle, and giving person, and treated him as she would anyone else. She taught him the alphabet, and that was the beginning of his desire to learn to read. Realizing this and because of her husband’s influence as a slaveholder, she gradually changed her ideas of trying to help Douglass. As a result, she became very bitter, angry, and cold-hearted toward him, and did everything she could to keep him from reading.…

    Frederick Douglass’s life narrative provides a look in on slavery by someone who was directly affected. Because many masters believed that teaching their slaves to read and write, “would spoil the best nigger in the world,” (Douglass 5) not many slaves were able to write their story for the future to see. Douglass’s perspective is a once and a lifetime look into how slavery affected an intelligent slave who knew how to both read and write. Unfortunately for him Douglass’s growing understanding was a curse rather than a blessing. As his intellect expanded, his misery deepened as well and his lack of freedom began to bother him. Douglass shows his expanding sorrow, using tone, imagery and selection of detail. Through the these ten pages…

    Frederick Douglass was an African American man who made a huge impact towards the abolitionist movement. Douglass grew up in Talbot County, Maryland. Douglass never knew his age or the identity of his father. Douglass’s father was thought to be his master, Captain Anthony. The uncertainty of major things in life such as his age and father drove Douglass to thirst for knowledge and stability.These two things paired together led him to live the life that he pursued. “Douglass became an influential abolitionist himself which eventually led to his writing the story of his life under slavery.” (Masterplots, Fourth Edition). Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass successfully highlights the importance of a strong education,…

    Douglass knowing that he could no longer be educated by Mrs. Auld, he would look for other methods to teach himself. Douglass’s determination to be educated guided him well. In chapter seven, Douglass shares how he gained an education without a formal teacher. Douglass became friends with local poor white boy’s, who he traded bread with in return of knowledge. Douglass also made use of the child of Mr. Auld, by using his educational books. Mr. Auld was right to fear the education of slaves, it was Douglass’s education which led him to seek freedom from slavery. It was education which caused Douglass the passion to better his mind. It was education which helped Douglass establish a legacy, which presented the harsh reality of being a slave. By taking a slave’s education away, a master can maintain their power other their slave, continuing their suppression. Douglass was born into a world that did not want him to be educated, but his persistence to learn resulted in him gaining both an identity and his own freedom. Education is something that many of us nowadays take for granted, but Douglass demonstrates the true power and importance of knowledge within his…
