What parallels,or similarities,so you see between the books Douglass reads and his own life?

1 answer:

7 0

Frederick Douglass was a former slave who, after becoming a free man, was an abolitionist, a writer and an orator. He was only able to learn how to read at age 12 and he would read whatever he could find: poems, newspapers, books, political pamphlets... He also owned a private library at home. Douglass believed that what he could learn from books could never be taken away from him - it would make him more aware and knowledgeable and that meant freedom to him. That said, this is the main parallel between his old life (as a slave), his new life (as a free man) and the books he read (which would enable him to learn new things on a daily basis): all those situations mentioned above meant freedom to Douglass.

Explanation:

Once I hit the age eleven I've had to watch over my older sister who has a disability. I would "babysit" her when my mom was busy, or outside, and I would have to make sure she was okay every 10 to 15 minutes. She is 26 years old and has a mind of a 4-7-year-old, which means I have to get her food, turn the lights on and off, plugging things in for her. Which of course I do not mind. She does get irritated with me at times when I try to help her since she is very independent. When I was eleven I only had to watch her for a short period of time, but as I got older the time expanded, now it mostly depends on what my mom is doing or if my brother is home. My situation is very similar to Squeaky and her brother Raymond.
