Frederick Douglass was an extremely intelligent man. He is one of the best writers in his time. He uses metaphor, wit, irony, and many more literary devices. His tone is very even-tempered and distant; when speaking on on many of the most horrifying events he keeps a stable, to the point attitude. Sometimes a little more emotion and exaggeration comes into the writing, but most times Douglass is very calm and cerebral. He often jumps between past and present, sometimes relating personal stories and sometimes reflecting on society and slavery as a whole. There is not that much dialogue present, which helps to elevate the text from personal narrative to historical document. His prose flows well and is unambiguously rendered. He has a great command of language and provides the narrative in an elevated, intellectual fashion. This was much more advanced than many of the other slaves were thought to be able to
