The Beginning of Slavery vs. Knowledge (R.E)

# data[].attributes.body
Slavery vs. Knowledge as a title implies that despite not liking to gain knowledge and read due to slaves not being able to experience the world, Frederick Douglass still part of him wants to gain knowledge. Readers now need to know does Frederick Douglass choses knowledge and keeps on reading despite it destroying him or he decides to not read at all and flow with the rules of slavery.

The irony of Douglass's grandmother spending her entire life working for Fredirck's old master just to hidden away in a hut left to die with no family surrounded by her. "She had rocked him in infancy, attended him in childhood, served him through life and death wiped from his icy brow the cold death-sweat, and closed his eyes forever, " "Having outlived my old master and all his children, having seen, the beginning and end of all of them." (28) She would be in "perfect loneliness" in hut made from wood and mud having to remeber the loss of her great-grandchildren. (29)

"She was nevertheless left a slave- a slave for life- a slave in the hads of strangers; and in their hands she saw her children, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren, divided, like so many sheep, without being gratified with the small priviege of a single word, as to their or her own destiny."

"This horse has not had proper attention. He has not been sufficiently rubbed and curried, or he has not been properly fed; his food was too wet or too dry; he got it too soon or too late; he was too hot or too cold; he had too much hay, and not enough grain; or he had too much grain, and not enough of hay; instead of old Barney's attending to the horse, he had very improperly left it to his son." (Chapter III, Page 10 near the bottom). Repetition of "he", anaphora.

He was told and urged to stop learning and reading by his master, but he continued. Reading and knowledge gave him assurance and facts he could rely on, he no longer feared what he didn't know (DK)

"I have seen him whip a woman, causing the blood to run half an hour at the time; and this,  too, in the midst of her crying children, pleading for their mother's release. He seemed to take pleasure in manifesting his fiendish barbarity" (Douglass, 7)

"In addition to the pain of separation, there was the horrid dread of falling into the hands of Master Andrews" (pg27). This is an example of Pathos because Douglass is describing the pain slaves feel when they're separated from there loves ones. this is example of Fredrick Douglass suing emotion

"Her frame already racked with the pains of old age, and complete helplessness fast stealing over her once active limbs, they took her to the woods, built her a little hut, mud chimney, and then made her welcome to the privilege of supporting herself there in perfect loneliness" (Page 29) MG

"I have seen him whip a woman, causing the blood to run half an hour at the time; and this,  too, in the midst of her crying children, pleading for their mother's release. He seemed to take pleasure in manifesting his fiendish barbarity" (Douglass, 7)

This is Pathos as, we can imagine how Douglass and the children feel watching this most likely innocent mother get treated like this, and how traumatizing a sight this would be.

"It had given me a view of my wretched condition, without the remedy. It opened my eyes to the horrible pit, but to no ladder upon which to get out. In moments of agony, I envied my fellow-slaves for their stupidity. I have often wished myself a beast. I preferred the condition of the meanest reptile to my own. Any thing, no matter what, to get rid of thinking!" (page 24) MG

Douglass uses  pathos by  explaining how he had no emotional attachment to moving and while he feels no sadness it makes a even bigger impact. (pg17)

Through the eyes of Frederick Douglass, we see he experiences the watchings of torture and gore as a kid. In a scene we see he watched his own aunt get beat as she "was literally covered in blood" (4) and "The louder she screamed, the harder he whipped; and where the blood ran fastest, there he whipped longest"(4). He said that he was "terrified and horror-stricken at the site, that I hid myself in a closet" (5), not getting out until the gore was done. Through the author using imagery , we can see through Frederick Douglass's eyes that he is traumatized from seeing his family member get beaten very badly.

This chapter connects to the theme of Violence and Power, because the barbarity in which Mr. Severe treats his slaves shows how much power he has, that he can treat these people like literal animals and get away with it.

"His savage barbarity was equalled only by the consummate coolness with which he committed the grossest and most savage deeds upon the slaves under his charge."(Douglass, 13)

Mr. Covery had starved Frederick Douglass and every other slave that had appeared on his plantation in efforts to weaken them mentally and physically. Along with this there were other forms of cruelty in which Mr. Covery beat a young lacerated women left her tied up and returned to beat her again; dehumanizing slaves made it easier for slave masters to control them so they held there power.

"I do not remember to have ever met a
slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer
to it than planting-time, harvest-time, cherry-time, spring-time,
or fall-time. A want of information concerning my own was a
source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white
children could tell their ages. I could not tell why I ought to be
deprived of the same privilege" (1).

This is Pathos due to the fact that Frederick Douglass writing this in his perspective, telling his readers that he doesn't remember his or any slaves remembering there birthday. However, the white boys are able to remember theirs, confused on why he wasn't privileged like them. Douglass connects with the readers, making them feel sympathy with emotion because he is seen as more of an animal than a actual human.

Literary Device
Mr Gore was a brutal man and beat slaves for fun.  In Fredrick Douglass's words, "He was just the man for such a place and it was just the place for such a man" (Douglass, 12-13).  This example of Chiasmus implies that Mr. Gore was a terrible disgusting man and he looked at home at such a terrible place.

Rhetorical Appeal
Fredrick Douglass's use of ethos in this chapter occurs when he says ""His savage barbarity was equalled only by the consummate coolness with which he committed the grossest and most savage deeds upon the slaves under his charge."(Douglass, 13).  He implies that Mr. Gore was barbaric, gross and savage towards the innocent slaves.

A great many time have we poor creatures been nearly perishing with hunger , when food in abundance lay moldering in the safe and smoke-house, and our pious mistress was aware of the fact;and yet that mistress and her husband would kneel every morning, and pray that God would bless them in basket and store!(31)

The theme of Unit 2 in Chapter 1 is Violence and Power because the slave masters were using their power against slaves. Through their power, they used that power to harm slaves for various reasons.

"and the argument which he so warmly urged, against my learning to read, only served to inspire me with a desire and determination to learn" (Chapter VI - Page 20) (DK)

Frederick Douglass uses a chiasmus and a anthitesis in oen line to be able to emphasize the irony.On page 12 it says "Mr.Gore was proud,ambitious and persevering. He was artful,cruel and obdurate". He was just the man for such a place".Using antitheiss Frederick Douglass make the reader group the words like "proud" and "artful" to further the point about perspective and depending on whether it was the slave master or the slave. But the ironic part of it was when hes described so highly when he is actually cruel to the slaves making him fit fot the job.
