Douglass's life is similar to Harrison Bergeron because he is freed from containment like Harrison. They both also know what is it like to be free what is keeping control of you. Another example is that they both fight for their freedom and achieve it, but one ends happily and the other does not.

I think that Douglass's life is like the freed prisoner from the Allegory of the Cave. Douglass says that he rather stay in slavery than explore the unknown. This is just like the freed prisoner. He had to be forced against his will to go outside. Douglas is not sure what will come in the unknown, like the freed prisoner, who is not sure what will come outside the cave

Douglass's life is quite similar to the prisoner in the Allegory of the Cave. I believe this because as soon as Douglass reached Maryland and experienced that one taste of freedom, it really relates to how the prisoner was shown the true reality of the outside. Both of them got to taste a little bit of freedom and both characters represent a state of  blindness and deaf sense as they don't even realize how wonderful something is that they never knew was ever in existence.

Douglass and Elie Wiesel's lives echo in many ways when they talk of freedom. They both look deep within themselves when going through these events, for Douglass the hardships of slavery, and the experience to genocide that Elie went through. Both men pondered if what came after death was better than the situation of which they were in. Douglass eventually gain his freedom by escaping his owners, by traving north. And despirte contemplating running into an electrified fence, Elie gain his freedom once again after being freed by the Allies. Another example of the simularties of these men is that trough their hardest times their families were seperated from them. Elie's had been killed by the germans, and all of Douglass's had been sold throughout the united states.

Douglass's life is much like the story of the Allegory of the Cave. I think this because when Douglass experienced the slightest bit of freedom in Baltimore is equivalent to when the man in the cave was unchained and taken outside to the sun and the true reality. These both show how true reality or freedom can blind you, it's just that the Allegory of the Cave was a more literal representation of it.

Fredrick Douglass is liked the freed prisoner as slavery is to the cave. Frederick knows of what is out there after learning how to read. He wanted freedom as other slaves were hesitant to freedom for they have been told lies of freedom by the slave owners.  This is show

Douglass's life is similar to the freed prisoner because both of them risked having to suffer even more than they were already suffering for a chance to be happier. Douglass risked being captured and sent to the deep south to run a way and live a better life as a free man in the north. The freed prisoner risked not being comfortable in his situation out of the cave for a chance to live free outside in the world. When Douglass first escapes he is terrified that he will be caught. He does not enjoy his first few day
|being free because he is so worried of his capture. After he became comfortable he loved life being free. This is just like the prisoner because at first when he came out of the cave he did not like it. He was being blinded by the light he was scared of the creatures and confused of the different culture. As his time went on out of the cave, he loved the fresh air, the light of the sun, and all of the creatures that surrounded him.

Douglass's life is similar to Harrison Bergson's life as they are both being control by those with higher power. Douglass is being controlled and denied the right to freedom by his slave masters. Harrison Bergson is being controlled and denied the right to freedom by the government. Douglass is forced to be a slave and Harrison forced to wear handicaps. Slavery is used to prevent the growth of intelligence and power in blacks. Handicaps are used to restrict the power and above average qualitys in Harrison. Both Douglass and Harrison long to be free and fight for what they desire. Douglass escapes slavery and Harrison frees himself from his handicaps all against the law. Douglass' life is similar to Harrison's in a way the the handicaps somewhat represent slavery itself.

Douglass's life is similar to the freed prisoner in the Allegory because they both risked suffering greater harm by moving themselves into a new situation rather than staying and dealing with the known dangers in their current situation. When Douglass is planning to run away to freedom, he contemplates his decision, wondering if it's worth it to run away and face new problems, or if it's better to stay with what he knows and where each problem is predictable. The freed prisoner also faces this problem. He has to be dragged from the cave because he does not want to leave from where he is familiar, although uncomfortable because of his restraints. When he is dragged from the cave, he faces new dangers, like how blinding the sun is. After he adjusts, he sees how wonderful the world is, and sees the real images of what's been imitated on the walls in the cave. This parallels with Douglass, who, after he escapes into freedom, suffers from hunger and loneliness, but is discovered by a kind man who helps him. After he is showed kindness, and finds people willing to help him and others in similar situations, he is able to experience true freedom, unlike the "freedom" slave masters gave slaves during the holidays.

Douglass's life is much like the freed prisoner in the Allegory of the Cave. This is because, when the prisoner was in the cave, he had to be dragged to the outside, unwillingly. This is much like Douglass, because he says that he would rather bear the pain of slavery than face the unknown. This is much like the prisoner in the cave. I know this, because Douglass is afraid of the unknown, much like the prisoner in the cave.

Douglass's life is very similar to Elie Wiesel's life. They both wonder if they should they should face their known death by suicide or if they should keep surviving until their unknown death. Elie wonders if running into the barbed wire is better than suffering in the camps. Frederick wonders if escaping  would be better than living in slavery. They  wonder if they should keep living until they die of causes they don't know or if they should decide their own fate. Also, throughout their life of torture they wonder why God isn't helping them and punishing the people hurting them. He is also like the character from the Allegory of the Cave because they are both freed from being prisoners.

Douglass's life is very similar to Elie Wiesel's life. They both went through questioning if dying and going to another place dead is better then staying alive. Douglass was questioning whether escaping would be better than just staying in slavery. Wiesel questioned if dying in the barbed wire is better than going through the camps and suffering. Another example would be they both survived such a tragic event of slavery and the holocaust. They wrote about their lives through these events, doing shows how important and similar events are in the history of the world.

Frederick Douglass is very similar to the freed prisoner from the Allegory of the Cave in that when they experience a different kind of life, they could never go back to the life they used to live. When the freed prisoner was forcefully freed from the cave, he was at first blinded by the sunlight, but then realized the freedom he was given. When he told all of his friends to come, they laughed at him and threatened to kill him if he tried to do anything. For Frederick Douglass, once he experience a lifestyle as an urban slave, being a slave at a farm was even more repugnant to him. As a result, he worked even harder to gain his freedom. In the end however, Frederick Douglass already knew the benefits of freedom, where has the freed prisoner was clueless.

Douglass's life is similar to Allegory of the cave and Harrison Bergeron because in Allegory of the cave the person that escaped the cave was trying to convince the others that it is better outside just like how Douglass stood up to his master trying to show other slaves that there is a better life. In Harrison Bergeron it is very similar. Just how Douglass was trying to show the other slaves there is a better life, Harrison Bergeron wanted to show everyone else that the handicaps should not restrict you and to just take them off because it is better like that. In NIght, as Elie was marching towards Auschwitz he thought whether he should run into the electric fence and kill himself and hope for a better life or be tortured by the Nazis. Douglass also thought that whether or not he should risk killing himself for the chance of going somewhere better or working as a slave for the rest of his life.
