Douglass did not wish to celebrate The 4th of July because it was celebrating freedom. There were many blacks still enslaved and he dispised how United States celebrated freedom when millions of blacks were still enslaved.

The sunlight that brought life and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth [of] July is yours, not mine.” He is talking about the black slaves who are still trapped with no freedom

Bertha thinks that it is good to win medals for goodness, but the medals get her killed.
Explanation:
- She thought that the story that is told to the kids is not good for them. After that, she told him that the years of good teaching are wasted.

That is why she learns the lesson instead of him.
- Another answer that is correct is also having irony because the medals got her in the trouble. She was very proud because of those medals and she wore them all the time. She wore them on her and the medals were producing a sound so when she slipped into the bushes, the wolfs were knowing were she was hiding.
