"[raising] his musket to [Demby's] face, taking deadly aim at his standing victim, and in an instant poor Demby was no more," connection to the gore and cruelty of Mr. Gore which is bloodshed in the result of violence (14).
"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" (13).

"'You will be free as soon as you are twenty-one, but I am a slave for life! Have not I as good a right to be free as you have?' These words used to trouble them; they would express for me the liveliest sympathy, and console me with the hope that something would occur by which I might be free." (pg. 23)

"A want of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood." (pg.1) The rhetorical appeal for this quote is pathos because Douglass appeals to the readers emotion when he talked about the despair that over whelmed him as child during slavery.

The reason we had chose pathos because the author, Fedrick Douglass, used emotion and values to tell his grandmother's story.

"They took her to the woods, built her a little hut, put up a little mud-chimney, and then made her welcome to the privilege of supporting herself there in perfect loneliness; thus virtually turning her out to die!"

"She had rocked him in infancy, attended him in childhood, served him through life, and at his death wiped from his icy brow the cold death-sweat, and closed his eyes forever. She was nevertheless left a slave—a slave for life—a slave in the hands of strangers"

Change of Heart - Literary Device (Antithesis)

"That cheerful eye, under the influence of slavery, soon became red with rage;
that voice, made all of sweet accord, changed to one of harsh and horrid discord; and that angelic face gave place to that of a
demon" (Douglass, 19) - Mrs. Auld was characterized to be loving and kind hearted towards Douglass but soon after she changed to be cruel because of the pressure from both society and her husband.

" I was ignorant of his temper

and disposition; he was equally so of mine...I had not experienced before since I left Colonel Lloyd’s plantation. It went hard enough with me then, when I could look

back to no period at which I had enjoyed a sufficiency." (31)

Simile
"By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs"(page 1). This is simile because for one is comparing the extent of slaves knowledge to animals, to shows just how much slaveholders wanted to make their slaves ignorant so that they could keep their power and authority over them

Dehumanization of Slavery

"Mr. Severe was rightly named: he was a cruel man. 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" (9). This quote tugs at our heartstrings, since we feel bad for the children seeing their own mother beaten in front of their very eyes.

Douglass was very excited that he was the only slave selected to be sent to Baltimore an be "freed". He shows Pathos here in this chapter to share the emotion and shock he goes through while heading to Baltimore for the first time.

- "He was cruel, but cowardly. He commanded without

firmness. In the enforcement of his rules, he was at times rigid, and at times lax. At times, he spoke to his slaves with the firmness of Napoleon and the fury of a demon; at other times, he might well be mistaken for an inquirer who had lost his way. He did nothing of himself. He might have passed for a lion, but for his ears"(Pg.31)

Douglass is sounding more like MLK in this chapter because he is taking a nonviolent approach to the problem. He knows it will be extremely difficult to escape with his masters restricting him from learning how to read and write, however he is not fighting against them in any way he is just trying to process the events that are happening. Malcolm X was a more violent protestor, and in this chapter Douglass is not showing any forms of violence to fight for his freedom, he is just trying to learn on his own to show defiance.

Pathos: to appeal to emotions:
"Every tone was a testimony against slavery, and a prayer to God for deliverance from chains. The hearing of those wild notes always depressed my spirit, and filled me with ineffable sadness"(Douglass,12). Douglass uses the sadness and sorrows of slavery in order to explain that the slaves are going through dehumanization. Where they aren't viewed as humans and also wanted to escape.

Chapter VI represents Pathos since Mrs.Auld changed from this person of compassion and kindness to this raging beast or demon as Douglass described her. This change happened because of her husband. (Douglass 21)- Mr.Auld told Mrs.Auld to be a proper slave owner since unlike him, she was actually caring over Douglass while Mr. Auld was cruel and harsh.

Who does Frederick Douglass sound more like in this chapter—Malcolm X or MLK?

# data[].attributes.body
Frederick Douglass sounds more like MLK rather than Malcolm X because Douglass follows a standard of nonviolence and doesn't really protest against the cruelty he faces against his slaveowners. Douglass would listen and watch the hatred-filled actions committed on slaves, but wasn't as developed to fight back for his lack of freedom.

Pathos:
"He was immediately chained and handcuffed; and thus, without a moment's warning, he was snatched away...this is the penalty of telling the truth" (Page 11).

Douglass uses imagery at the top of page 18 to share his feelings he had while on the boat to Baltimore. It Shows the astonishment that Douglass had as he left the Great House Farm and approached Baltimore.

We'd argue that Frederick Douglass sounds more like MLK because of their beliefs of freedom. Douglass and MLK were activist of a very different time but they both believe that freedom is something that will take a while to achieve. In our eyes, Malcolm was more combative than them. Douglass in this chapter also is speaking of childhood and his innocents. Its safe to say MLK and Frederick were more alike in this chapter.

# data[].attributes.body
Fredick Douglass sounds more like MLK in this chapter, since there are no comments about possibly rebelling against the slave owners and getting his rights back. At this point in the novel, Douglass is more focused on surviving and prioritizing his own needs, while talking about the horrors of slavery every now and then. He doesn't display any of his thoughts about slavery or a way to fight against the injustice; this is probably because he hasn't been exposed to the world of racism (nor the door of opportunities opened by having the ability to read or write).

In chapter eight we see that most of the chapter is based on the story of his grandmother and the effect that it brought to people in the society and brought in a deeper meaning of slave aren't valuable even tho they help there masters. (28-30)

"I speak advisedly when I say this,-that killing a slave, or any colored person, in Talbot county, Maryland, is not treated as a crime, either by the courts or the community. Mr. Thomas Lanman, of St. Micheal's killed two slaves, one of whom he killed with a hatchet, by knocking his brains out. He used to boast of the commission of the awful and bloody deed. I never heard do so laughingly, saying, among other things, that he was the only benefactor of his community in the company" (p. 14) -> the use of how unethical and immoral it is that when slaves are killed, there are no punishments but instead a boast of power by the white slave owner through violence. Also, the use of pathos as this causes a disturbing and shocking feeling to the readers by acknowledging how dehumanized slaves are to the point that being killed is not even significant or a offense to Maryland.

This chapter is most related towards Malcolm X due the similar realism of new knowledge and stories that effect them selves.
