She died when I was about seven years old, on one of my master's farms, near Lee's Mill. I was not allowed to be present during her illness, at her death, or burial. She was gone long before I knew anything about it.Never having enjoyed, to any considerable extent, her soothing presence, her tender and watchful care, I received the tidings of her death with much the same emotions I should have probably felt at the death of a stranger"(Douglass 2). ]]> 2018-01-17 17:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222151222 3075062 https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222151310 Being a slave himself, Fredrick Douglass is on the inside with all the events he's portraying for the audience so he is able to persuade the reader with the emotions the author felt firsthand. An example of ethos would be, "I have often been utterly astonished, since I came to the north, to find persons who could speak of the singing, among slaves, as evidence of their contentment and happiness. It is impossible to conceive of a greater mistake. Slaves sing most when they are most unhappy. The songs of the slave represent the sorrows of his heart; and he is relieved by them, only as an aching heart is relieved by tears. At least, such is my experience" (Douglass 8). ]]> 2018-01-17 17:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222151310 3075062 https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222156365 This specific quote strongly appeals to pathos by the way Douglass explains how he never got to know his mother and him being deprived of a connection with her and her early death resulted in her passing having no effect on him. The way that the author describes his seven year old self lacking any feelings for his mother's absence causes the reader to feel sympathetic and saddened for Fredrick Douglass. ]]> 2018-01-17 17:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222156365 3075062 https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222241340 Because Logos is the authors use of a reliable source in order to prove a point, Fredrick Douglass provides information from The Bible in order to defy the platform that white people had built on The Bible in order to justify their heinous actions toward the slaves. Douglass provides a good counterargument with the same evidence that is being used against him and his people. ]]> 2018-01-17 21:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222241340 3075062 https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222824687 2018-01-19 15:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222824687 3075062 https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222828544 2018-01-19 15:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222828544 3075062 https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222833212 This piece from Douglass's narrative greatly represents ethos due to the way that a false theory was put up that the music of slaves was thought to mean happiness, when in reality it was the greatest method to convey sadness. The reader can only pick up this information from a source who was a slave themselves and worked closely with them and experienced their sorrows as well and participated in the melodies of woe. The reader would not know the true meaning behind the songs that were sang unless Douglass, a former slave, would have explained it, making him a credible source to support ethos. ]]> 2018-01-19 15:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222833212 3075062 https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222836221 2018-01-19 16:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/3075062/ipsb9h42pf8p/wish/222836221
