REsponse to reading up to page (52)***%#*#(@_)#()$%&@#)%&_
on page 45 Douglass talks about getting freedom. He tells his fellow slaves because he believes that they are one and if one does one thing the others do the same in the same way. he has developed a strong trust with them and i really like that because now Douglass is starting to make friends and having somewhat of a family. this makes me want to jump up for joy because he trust those people. He also mentions that Mr. Freeland is the best slave master he has ever had. besides himself. this makes me think is he going to be free someday?! i really hope so. he also talks about learning to read more which is good because i am lucky to have an education and many take that for granite sometimes because they are so use to it. i really like how this chapter went. Douglass forges a letter saying that they are free to go to Maryland for the holidays. oh my gosh(: that makes me so proud! he is making something of his life. but they got caught and had to go to jail. all of them got separated. this made me really sad because Douglass really wanted a family you could just tell and with them not around anymore it hurt him really bad. being in jail for almost 4 years would hurt me really bad and i couldn't live with myself. i really am starting to not like this whole reading just because of the sadness it is putting on me. But when Douglass got out of jail he got a job and it pays him for his work. although this made me sad that he has no one he is now getting money for his work and not treated so much like a salve now.

merris, I agree with you about everything these few pages were like a rollercoaster up, and then back down. One thing that you said that stuck out to me was he is getting ot was getting friends, making himself a family, then this all ended after jail and this to me was very sad. I like how you told me the reader how you felt.. Good job :)
