  • Similarities Between Frederick Douglass And Captain Canot

    627 Words  | 2 Pages

    The writings of Frederick Douglass and Captain Canot both discuss the institution of slavery. However, each piece of writing was written for a different purpose. Frederick Douglass’s writing was written to show how inhumane slavery was, and how wrong it was. Whereas Captain Canot’s writing basically bragged about how “humane” he treated the slaves on his ship. However, both men made some of the same points with similar evidence.

  • Martin Luther King Jr. and Frederick Douglass

    1394 Words  | 3 Pages

    Both readings are about African American Men who are being discriminated against. Frederick Douglass was born 1817 and died 1895. His story is about his journey as a slave in Maryland. When Douglass was put into slavery, he was with a mistress who had never owned a slave before, so it was all very new to her. Mrs. Hugh Auld helped teach Douglass how to read and write, but her husband found out and told her that she should not, for it was dangerous and unlawful (125). Although Mrs. Hugh Auld stopped teaching Douglass, he knew enough to start his own education and eventually that lead him to freedom. Through all of Douglass?s teachings, he realized that slavery had a negative effect on him. Although his education was obviously good for him, he had his doubts. Before he was naive to all that was going on around him and what he was involved in. He obviously knew that he did not want to be a slave, but he did not know all of the information around and involving it. As his education grew, so did his anger and resentment for this world that...

    This was quite an interesting story. There were three sections to the story which broke the story in three different times in one day. The characters were all very nonchalant except for the priest who showed some emotion when he found out that old Teofilo died. The story kept our interest, however, it did not lead a very clear trail to the end, and there was no real climax where we felt there was a good peak. The story needs to be read more than once to really be appreciated.

    Frederick Douglass once said, "there can be no freedom without education." I believe this statement is true. During slavery, slaves were kept illiterate so they would not rebel and become free. Many slaves were stripped from their families at an early age so they would have no sense of compassion towards family members. Some slaves escaped the brutal and harsh life of slavery, most who were uneducated. But can there be any real freedom without education?

    On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass, an African-American ex-slave and abolitionist, delivered a speech in Rochester, New York at the city’s annual Fourth of July Celebration, to the citizens of Rochester. Allowing the people of Rochester only a day to immerse in the “patriotic” festivities of the Fourth of July, Douglass’ “What to the Slave is the 4th of July?” challenges American ideals such as liberty, equality and justice, by providing arguments that examine the religious, moral and constitutional principles that the American people claim to abide by and glorify. Through rhetorical strategies such as repetition, pathos and logos, Douglass exposes the paradoxical nature of the Fourth of July.

I asked myself that what in the world is the language that the story had been written in?!! My frustration level was elevating as I was trying to read through the whole story; I realized that I was much more frustrated with the big pile of plain texts - that do not make sense to me at all - than the meaningless words that only make more sense to loudly get

  • Themes In Iris Chase Griffen's The Blind Assassin

    1307 Words  | 3 Pages

    The story weaves in and out of each of the three narratives and simultaneously between real and fantasy. One moment the story will be taking place in the modern present day and the next moment it will be taking place in another dimension of space on a fantasy planet called Zycron. The story is told by the sole survivor of the once rich and powerful Canadian family, Iris Chase Griffen, who gives her account on past events through a personal memoir. She attempts to retell her family’s past, with her focus geared towards her arranged husband and the death of her sister Laura Chase. Iris begins her narrative during the historical time period of the two World Wars and the Depression era near the end of the nineteen century, providing the foundation for the second narrative. Writing from her own personal record, Iris ties family history from both the Chase and Griffen families, as she attempts to unfold the causes and events that led to her sister Laura’s suicide. The second narrative we are provided with is supposedly written by Laura Chase and published after her death by her sister Iris. This novel within a novel is called, “The Blind Assassin,” which is a story about two anonymous lovers, a woman of high social class and a young runaway who secretly meet in these dreary backstreet rooms. The third narrative is a science fiction tale interwoven into the novel within a novel narrative, told by the anonymous man while in the backstreet rooms, about an assassin and a crippled girl in this fairy tale city of Sakiel Norm on planet Zycron. Along with all of the different narratives, there are multiple articles from local newspapers and magazines scattered throughout the chapters of Iris’s personal memoir. Near the end of the novel, a big plot twist happens, when the readers find out that Iris is actually the author of the narrative, “Blind Assassin”
