Quote 5: "It required extraordinary barbarity on the part of an overseer to affect him. He was a cruel man, hardened by a long life of slaveholding. He would at times seem to take
great pleasure in whipping a slave." (Excerpt 1, paragraph 6)
Quote 6: "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." (Excerpt 3, paragraph 3)
Purpose: Slavery corrupts slaveholders]]> 2019-02-25 18:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tjkim2/6muofg2dtnox/wish/335009603 tjkim2 https://padlet.com/tjkim2/6muofg2dtnox/wish/335009737 Topic sentence: With no doubt will someone say that slavery is terrible for slaves. No matter nationality, no one deserves the pain and sorrow brought upon the slaves of early America.
Quote 3: "...an own aunt of mine, whom he used to tie up to a
joist, and whip upon her naked back till she was literally
covered with blood. No words, no tears, no prayers, from
his gory victim, seemed to move his iron heart from its
bloody purpose. The louder she screamed, the harder he
whipped; and where the blood ran fastest, there he
whipped longest." (Excerpt 1, paragraph 6)
Quote 4: "We were worked in
all weathers. It was never too hot or too cold; it could never rain, blow, hail, or snow too hard for us to work in the field. Work,
work, work, was scarcely more the order of the day than of the
night. The longest days were too short for him, and the shortest
nights too long for him."
(Excerpt 4, paragraph 4)
Purpose: Slavery is terrible for slaves]]> 2019-02-25 18:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tjkim2/6muofg2dtnox/wish/335009737 tjkim2 https://padlet.com/tjkim2/6muofg2dtnox/wish/335010235 Topic sentence: Frederick Douglass, an african american slave, had a surprisingly impactful arsenal of words that he used to support the position to end slavery.
Quote 1: One example of his strong choice of words can be found on Excerpt 3, paragraph 1 when he explains what would have happened if had not been sent to the plantation in Baltimore: "I should have
to-day, instead of being here seated by my own table, in the
enjoyment of freedom and the happiness of home, writing this
Narrative, been confined in the galling chains of slavery." Douglass compares the imprisonment of slaves to galling chains with a metaphor. To him, slavery was a way for white men to keep africans as livestock as they are treated like property, metaphorically chained.
Quote 2: Again, Frederick uses figurative language by comparing a slave's life to that of the having to drink dregs: "If at any one time of my life more than another, I was made to
drink the bitterest dregs of slavery..." (Excerpt 4, paragraph 4) Douglass sees his experience as a slave as having to drink the accumulation of sediments in a drink.
Purpose: Usage of Language]]> 2019-02-25 18:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tjkim2/6muofg2dtnox/wish/335010235 tjkim2 https://padlet.com/tjkim2/6muofg2dtnox/wish/335010720 Hook: Conceptualize being unable to convey emotions through writing or being unable to read. One can only imagine how frustrating it must have been for slaves like Frederick Douglass.
Background information: Frederick Douglass, an African American slave, was able to learn to read and write while being under strict surveillance of his masters who sternly prohibited reading. To many's surprise, Douglass was able to write a narrative, explaining his experience as a slave and raising awareness to the truth of slavery; the truth being that slaves are put in harsh conditions, being whipped, beaten, overworked, and starved on a regular basis.
Thesis statement: Along with the use of strong language, Douglass uses his self taught skill in literature and firsthand experience with slavery to reveal the effects of slavery on slaves and slaveholders, which supports the position to end slavery.]]> 2019-02-25 18:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tjkim2/6muofg2dtnox/wish/335010720 tjkim2 https://padlet.com/tjkim2/6muofg2dtnox/wish/335011658 Topic sentence: Frederick Douglass's bravery and wit, has shaped the America of today. The everlasting effects of slavery and the scars of humanity may forever remain within the people of this country. However, Frederick's part in abolishing slavery are immense, while the effects of abolition itself are equally impactful. The present-day America makes sure that no one is or will be treated as brutally as the slaves; whose souls--soaked with blood, sweat, and tears--were wrung out into gaping mouth of slavery.  ]]> 2019-02-25 18:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tjkim2/6muofg2dtnox/wish/335011658
