Douglass uses vivid imagery when describing some of the things they had to experience as a slave like when someone got shot, “his mangled body sank out of sight, and blood and brains marked the water where he had stood” (38). Or when he describes the killing of his mother’s cousin, that the slave owner “[broke] her nose and breastbone with a stick, so that the poor girl expired in a few hours afterward” (39). By describing these very gory scenes that he had to witness or hearing about, he gets us to show epathy for those who suffered in slavery.

Douglass writes that "the singing of a man cast away upon a desolate island might be as appropriately considered as evidence of contentment and happiness, as the singing of a slave; the songs of the one and of the other are prompted by the same emotion" (Douglass page 9). In this quote, Douglass is comparing the emotions slaves feel to the emotions that a man stranded on an island feels. This helps to convey how slaves have nothing to feel joy about, and tying it back to our chapter title, they only feel sorrow in their situation, just like a man stranded alone on an island. - Addison]]> 2022-09-02 17:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethrozansky/x67z0ytj041r490l/wish/2281008813 Literary device: Chiasmus oliviasia https://padlet.com/elizabethrozansky/x67z0ytj041r490l/wish/2281008978 "They were frequently whipped when least deserving, and escaped whipping when most deserving it" (Douglass 10).

"Slave holders have ordained, and by law established, that children  of slave women shall in all cases follow the condition of their mothers" (Douglass 2). 
-It was a customary routine for slaveholders to enslave the children of slaves they bought. This is rooted in fact and the logic of the slaveholders, though that does not remain true for those looking back on the situation.-Ellanie]]> 2022-09-02 17:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethrozansky/x67z0ytj041r490l/wish/2281008980 Explanation for title https://padlet.com/elizabethrozansky/x67z0ytj041r490l/wish/2281009077 That is the title because the chapter talks about how it was hard for Frederick to understand the songs at first because they would sing happy songs in a sad tone and sad songs in a happy tone which was confusing to him. Most of the chapter was talking about how the slaves sing their songs a certain way to express their feelings. -BB]]> 2022-09-02 17:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethrozansky/x67z0ytj041r490l/wish/2281009077 Literary Device https://padlet.com/elizabethrozansky/x67z0ytj041r490l/wish/2281009341 Chiasmus: "He was to me a new master, and I to him a new slave"(30).

On page 4 of Narrative of The Life of Frederick Douglass. Douglass explains one of the traumatic scenes he's witnessed as a slave working under Colonel Lloyd. He explains in great detail (imagery) of the experiences his aunt faced under Colonel Lloyd.

"I remember the first time I ever witnessed this horrible exhibition. I was quite a child, but I well remember it." (4)

For her whole life, she had to deal with their "base ingraditude and fiendish barbarity" (pg. 28) and when she finally reached the point where her body would longer allow her to do the intense labor that she had done for her entire life, they left her alone to die in a hut "in perfect loneliness" (pdf pg. 42).
