From stripping her to hanging her on a hook like an animal in a butcher shop. It all serves to evoke emotion and further strengthen his argument against slavery, in this case by showing the cruelty of it. He goes on further to describe how this event was a new and lasting memory for him as a child.]]> 2017-01-20 16:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/Weabuoy/FrederickDouglassDawg/wish/148417332 Weabuoy https://padlet.com/Weabuoy/FrederickDouglassDawg/wish/148417447 Douglass stated, "I have 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... Slaves sing most when they are most unhappy" (8).]]> 2017-01-20 16:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/Weabuoy/FrederickDouglassDawg/wish/148417447 Weabuoy https://padlet.com/Weabuoy/FrederickDouglassDawg/wish/148775356 Douglass evokes an emotional response from the reader when describing the whipping of Aunt Hester: "Before he commence whipping Aunt Hester, he too her into the kitchen, and stripped her from neck to waist... he commenced to lay on the heavy cowskin, and soon the warm, red blood (amid heart-rending shrieks from her, and horrid oaths from him) came dripping to the floor" (4).]]> 2017-01-23 16:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/Weabuoy/FrederickDouglassDawg/wish/148775356 Weabuoy https://padlet.com/Weabuoy/FrederickDouglassDawg/wish/148775487 Douglass uses a logical argument against slavery when writing about the mulattos : "...It is nevertheless plain that a very different-looking class of people are springing up at the south... it will do away with the force of the argument, that God cursed Ham, and therefore American slavery is right" (3)]]> 2017-01-23 16:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/Weabuoy/FrederickDouglassDawg/wish/148775487 Weabuoy https://padlet.com/Weabuoy/FrederickDouglassDawg/wish/148780700 In this quote Douglass is stating the opposite from what people think because of his actual experience as a slave. When writing about the songs of the slaves he wrote of them as deep emotional pieces not songs to sing when one is happy. So when he went to the north and saw people argue slaves sing when they're happy, he knew it was wrong. This was from his personal experience of being a slave.]]> 2017-01-23 16:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/Weabuoy/FrederickDouglassDawg/wish/148780700 Weabuoy https://padlet.com/Weabuoy/FrederickDouglassDawg/wish/149026766 What Douglass is saying in this quote is that because the mulattos are increasing in number in the south one of the religious justifications of slavery should be done away with. In this biblical allusion God curses Ham and all of his descendants to be slaves, therefore all black people are slaves according to the bible. But because of the mulattos it can be argued that they are no longer of direct descendence from Ham due to their white father.]]> 2017-01-24 14:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/Weabuoy/FrederickDouglassDawg/wish/149026766
