FD is too young to work in the fields so he keeps the barnyard clean and helps Master Daniel find game birds after he shoots them.FD has no shoes or socks, just a linen shirt that goes to his knees. The slaves were served boiled corn meal called mush. They had to eat it out of large bowls and whoever ate the fastest got the most. FD gets to leave the farm and go to Baltimore to meet his new masters and is surprised and happy that she is warm and caring he believes that fate has sent him to live there.

Gore becomes the overseer of Lloyd’s farm. He is very cruel. He beats a slave and when the slave won’t come out of the water, he shoots him.Killing a slave at that time was not a crime.More stories of killings of slaves are mentioned. One is shot simply for being on another plantation. "It’s worth half a cent to kill a nigger and half a cent to bury one."

Col. Lloyd puts tar around the fence of his garden so no slaves will steal his fruit. Slaves caught with tar on them are beaten. Lloyd beats Old and young Barney all the time and often for no reason just to keep them off balance and to set an example to the others. Slaves from different farms would fight each other in the name of their masters.

Slaves were given an allowance of food and a yearly clothing allotment. The clothes never lasted the year and often the children ran around naked.Slaves did not get beds, only coarse blankets. Mr. Severe would beat and yell at them all day. Slaves who got to work in the main house, called Great House Farm, were considered very lucky. FD begins to understand the sadness and irony in the songs the slaves sing. Contrary to what many Northerners thought the slaves were not singing out of joy, but out of pain and longing.

Douglass introduces the reader to his own circumstances—his birthplace and the fact that he does not know his own age.  He then tells us about his parents, briefly meeting his Mother(before she died) and his master possibly being his Father. Towards the end, Douglass recalls his first encounter with the horror of slavery: watching his Aunt get whipped.
