Quote 1: Douglass writes, “On the one hand, there stood slavery, a stern reality, glaring frightfully upon us,—its robes already crimsoned with the blood of millions, and even now feasting itself greedily upon our own flesh. On the other hand, away back in the dim distance, under the flickering light of the north star, behind some craggy hill or snow-covered mountain, stood a doubtful freedom—half frozen— beckoning us to come and share its hospitality.”
Quote 2: In addition, Douglass illustrates, “The slaves selected to go to the Great House Farm...were peculiarly enthusiastic. While on their way, they would...reverberate with their wild songs...They told a tale of woe which was then altogether beyond my feeble comprehension; they were tones loud, long, and deep; they breathed the prayer and complaint of souls boiling over with the bitterest anguish. Every tone was a testimony against slavery, and a prayer to God for deliverance from chains. The hearing of those wild notes always depressed my spirit, and filled me with ineffable sadness.”]]> 2019-02-25 18:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ashabaradas/yt3fl5r15ai8/wish/335010007 ashabaradas https://padlet.com/ashabaradas/yt3fl5r15ai8/wish/335010471 Topic Sentence: In order to support his position of ending slavery, Douglass gives various examples of how slavery was terrible for slaves throughout his narrative.
Quote 3: As follows: Douglass writes, “No words, no tears, no prayers, from his gory victim, seemed to move his iron heart from its bloody purpose. The louder she screamed, the harder he whipped; and where the blood ran fastest, there he whipped longest. He would whip her to make her scream, and whip her to make her hush; and not until overcome by fatigue, would he cease to swing the blood-clotted cowskin.”
Quote 4: Douglass illustrates, “It was never too hot or too cold; it could never rain, blow, hail, or snow too hard for us to work in the field...Mr. Covey succeeded in breaking me. I was broken in body, soul, and spirit. My natural elasticity was crushed, my intellect languished, the disposition to read departed, the cheerful spark that lingered about my eye died; the dark night of slavery closed in upon me; and behold a man transformed into a brute!”

Quote 6: The author illustrates, “When I went there she was a pious, warm, and tender-hearted woman...She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner that came within her reach...Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her of these heavenly qualities.”]]> 2019-02-25 18:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ashabaradas/yt3fl5r15ai8/wish/335011346 ashabaradas https://padlet.com/ashabaradas/yt3fl5r15ai8/wish/335012007 Hook: Throughout the 1800’s, millions of innocent children, women, and men were brutally forced to work against their own will in plantations under savage conditions.
