Along with the use of figurative language, Douglass uses his story to reveal the effects of slavery on slaves and slaveowners, which supports his position to end slavery.]]> 2019-02-25 16:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrobinson2/mal2y1zrcnuu/wish/334931672 cfrobinson2 https://padlet.com/cfrobinson2/mal2y1zrcnuu/wish/334942204 Frederick Douglass is a very compelling writer and uses a lot of figurative language.

"It was the blood-stained gate, the entrance to the hell of slavery, through which I was about to pass. It was a most terrible spectacle. I wish I could commit to paper the feelings with which I beheld it."

"We were often in the field the first approach of day its last lingering ray had left us; and at saving-fotter time, midnight often caught us in the field binding blades."]]> 2019-02-25 16:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrobinson2/mal2y1zrcnuu/wish/334942204 cfrobinson2 https://padlet.com/cfrobinson2/mal2y1zrcnuu/wish/334942363 Douglass attests to how slavery can corrupt the will of slaveholder.

"But alas! This kind heart had but a short time to remain such. The fatal poison of irresponsible power was already in her hands, and soon commenced its infernal work."

"Under its influence, the tender heart became stone, and the lamblike disposition gave way to one of tiger-like fierceness. The first step in her downward course was in her ceasing to instruct 
me. She now commenced to practice her husband’s precepts."]]> 2019-02-25 16:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrobinson2/mal2y1zrcnuu/wish/334942363 cfrobinson2 https://padlet.com/cfrobinson2/mal2y1zrcnuu/wish/334942767 Douglass gives first hand examples of how awful slavery is for slaves.

"I have often been 
awakened at the dawn of day by the most heart-rending shrieks of 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."

"I stepped to the door, and inquired what they 
wanted. They at once seized me, and, without giving me any satisfaction, tied me—lashing my hands closely together. I insisted upon knowing what the matter was. They at length said, that they had learned I had been in a “scrape,” and that I was to be examined before my master; and if their information proved false, I should not be hurt."]]> 2019-02-25 16:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrobinson2/mal2y1zrcnuu/wish/334942767 cfrobinson2 https://padlet.com/cfrobinson2/mal2y1zrcnuu/wish/334942879 2019-02-25 16:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrobinson2/mal2y1zrcnuu/wish/334942879 cfrobinson2 https://padlet.com/cfrobinson2/mal2y1zrcnuu/wish/334942991 2019-02-25 16:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrobinson2/mal2y1zrcnuu/wish/334942991
