Douglass may seem strong and rather stubborn on the façade, but he appears to be actually breaking down on the inside, and if he shows that to the reader, he might think that all hope for the abolishment of slavery would be lost.]]> 2017-01-24 14:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149024492 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149025836 Douglass chose not to include his own reactions because his idea for this story was to show the cruelty of slavery. He wanted to show just how awful slave owners were to even sick slaves  and that they had no regard for a slaves life.]]> 2017-01-24 14:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149025836 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149025838 Douglass wants to show the audience that he was not afraid and he is strong. He doesn't want to look weak to help other slaves stay strong when they are in the same position. He wants to show people that slaves are strong capable people.]]> 2017-01-24 14:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149025838 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149025882 Douglass didn't add his reaction probably because he didn't have one. Most of the time slaves had to keep their emotions to theirselves and he just didn't have anything to share because his input wouldn't matter to his master.]]> 2017-01-24 14:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149025882 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026129 Douglass is trying to focus the point of view on trying to abolish slavery. He wants the readers to know how bad he is being treated by Covey and not what he thought on what Mr. Covey did. ]]> 2017-01-24 14:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026129 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026148 Douggie didn't show his reactions because he felt that the reality was brutal enough.  Readers can inference the pain he was going through.  He wanted to just show the harsh reality and encourage slaves that it can get better.]]> 2017-01-24 14:44:38 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026148 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026156 Douglas wouldn't have wanted to include his emotions and feelings because he wanted to show just how cruel the slave masters were in that they didn't think of slaves as people with emotions at all. They were just property that was to be seen and not heard.]]> 2017-01-24 14:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026156 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026186 Douglass did not add his own reactions because if he would have it would have shown pain. Also, without emotions it can give the readers a chance to guess what Douglass is thinking and feeling.]]> 2017-01-24 14:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026186 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026328 Douglass would not have wanted to include his reactions because he is trying to focus on the idea of trying to abolish slavery and that many people had different reactions than him, but he wanted to show the conditions the slaves go through in their everyday day lives. ]]> 2017-01-24 14:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026328 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026360 Douglass chose not to give his own emotions or reactions in theses events because the readers can most likely tell how he felt just by how the reader felt. Most people would be disgusted and disheartened by these events, just by the way he described it we probably know how angry and how much he's hurting. ]]> 2017-01-24 14:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026360 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026406 I feel the reason why he doesn't put emotion in is he wants the reader to pull out their own emotion. He doesn't want to make it a story where he is pittied he wants people to know what its like. He doesn't have the purpose of just saving him, but the entire African American race and end slavery.]]> 2017-01-24 14:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026406 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026475 Douglass chose not to show how he felt because he described it in such painful way that the readers could feel/infer what he was feeling/thinking.]]> 2017-01-24 14:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026475 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026480 i think Douglass took his feelings out out this because it didn't help his cause. his goal in writing this was to gain support to get rid of slaves. I think he had a lot of ill will towards him and didn't share it because it would compromise Douglass's moral high ground. ]]> 2017-01-24 14:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026480 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026601 He doesn't wanna come across as weak to the reader. This type of treatment was probably normal to slaves, so he just took the pain and didn't fell like writing about his emotional pain would matter. In other words the beating was tough enough to write about, but the emotions would be even tougher. ]]> 2017-01-24 14:45:35 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026601 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026632 I think that Douglass didn't include details about his own reactions because he wanted to focus on his goal to abolish slavery. ]]> 2017-01-24 14:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026632 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026639 Douglas chose not to put his reactions to the paragraph because it was really hard for him and probably too graphic. He also may have wanted to make the reader infer his pain in said of just flat out saying it. ]]> 2017-01-24 14:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149026639 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149027025 I think Douglass did not share his emotions so that the readers could have their own emotions on what happened to him.]]> 2017-01-24 14:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149027025 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149027261 I don't think he talked about his emotions because he wanted to keep the story the way it was and just give the reader the information and let them have their own opinions. Also because many of the slaves that were reading this already knew how he felt and it was almost useless to talk about his emotions]]> 2017-01-24 14:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149027261 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149027276 I think that Douglas did not share his emotions because he wanted the readers to create the feelings. ]]> 2017-01-24 14:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149027276 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149027513 I think Douglass chose not to include details about his own reactions to keep the main focus on how badly Mr. Covey was treating him. His main goal was to try and abolish slavery abolish slavery which he may have thought could've been better acheived by focusing on the main idea.]]> 2017-01-24 14:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149027513 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149027526 I think Douglass knew that all of the slaves have already felt this at one point and does not need to explain his reactions.]]> 2017-01-24 14:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149027526 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149027859 i think douglas just didn't like like showing his real at true emotions because he might have felt like he had to hid them and not show weakness]]> 2017-01-24 14:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149027859 https://padlet.com/alexandrawaldie/9fhgvytxph5j/wish/149028071 I think Douglass did not include details about his own reactions because the reality of the situation was brutal enough. The focus was on how he was being mistreated and not how he felt - the reader can infer how he felt easily because it was extremely painful. I think he also might've wanted to not make slaves look weaker.
