Quote 2:
Excerpt 5 paragraph 1
"On the one hand, there stood slavery, a stern reality, glaring frightfully upon us,—its robes already crimsoned with the blood of millions, and even now feasting itself greedily upon our own flesh. On the other hand, away back in the dim distance, under the flickering light of the north star, behind some craggy hill or snow-covered mountain, stood a doubtful freedom—half frozen— beckoning us to come and share its hospitality.”(I don’t think you need the 2nd part of this quote)

"I never saw my mother, to know her as such, more than
four or five times in my life; and each of these times was
very short in duration, and at night."
Quote 2:
Excerpt 4 Paragraph 2
“...succeeded in gaining my feet; but, stooping to get the tub with which I was feeding the fan, I again staggered and fell. While down in this situation, Mr. Covey took up the hickory slat with which Hughes had been striking off the half- bushel measure, and with it gave me a heavy blow upon the head, making a large wound, and the blood ran freely; and with this again told me to get up. ”

“There must be no halting; every one must be at his or her post; and woe betides them who hear not this morning summons to the field; for if they are not awakened by the sense of hearing, they are by the sense of feeling: no age nor sex finds any favor.” (I would chose a better quote that’s more clearer in what happened or explain clearly what happens in the quote)

"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."
Quote 2:
Excerpt 3 Paragraph 6
"She now commenced to practice her husband’s precepts. She finally became even more violent in her opposition than her husband himself. She was not satisfied with simply doing as well as he had commanded; she seemed anxious to do better."(make sure in rough draft that you include how cruel her husband was so we know how cruel she became.)

Hook:  Imagine being taken from your home, forced to work sunrise to sunset in horrible conditions, and receive no pay; slavery is morally wrong in many ways and nobody should be subjected to it’s cruelty.
