I received the tidings of her death with much the same emotions I should have probably felt at the death of a stranger" (2).]]> 2018-01-17 21:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222252528 3068261 https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222927630 Douglass refers to this memory of his mother's death to introduce sympathy into readers. Most would say that they would not feel like their mother's death was similar to a stranger's. He brings this experience up to represent how different his life was to others.]]> 2018-01-19 19:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222927630 3068261 https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222929222 A persuasive appeal that recalls of the writing to be logical or sensible.]]> 2018-01-19 19:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222929222 3068261 https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222930555 Douglass supports his own claim by proving a statement in the Bible. He explains, "If the descendants of Ham are alone to be scripturally enslaved, it is certain that slavery at the south must soon become unscriptual" (3).]]> 2018-01-19 19:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222930555 3068261 https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222933981 Douglass counteracts the idea that slavery should be justified by providing this example. During the 1800's involving slavery, people were referring to the bible on how to live their lives. However, there is a story that explains how descendants of Ham were to be slaves. Therefore, mulatto slaves were not complete descendants of Ham, and should not be slaves.]]> 2018-01-19 19:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222933981 3068261 https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222936269 Another persuasive appeal that refers to the author being credible behind his/her work.]]> 2018-01-19 19:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222936269 3068261 https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222936826 In The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Douglass provides surreal evidence of his slavery experience. He reveals, "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" (3).]]> 2018-01-19 20:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222936826 3068261 https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222940411 Douglass' experience witnessing his aunt's brutal beating most definitely shows his credibility. If Douglass did not provide examples during his time of a slave, then it would not be a narrative. However, this narrative is real and proves it by telling of his gruesome experiences.]]> 2018-01-19 20:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/3068261/yzn7evzssmkq/wish/222940411
