The 5th chapter really stood out to me because he was talking about how he was really excited about moving to a different place. I feel bad for Douglas because if moving to a better place is the best thing that's ever happened to you your life must really stink. but I also feel very honored to be living the life i am living right now because i get a lot more freedom them him and all of the slaves. This chapter really mad me upset that moving to a different slave camp is his high light of his life. but also now he gets a pretty easy job(watching little Tomas)
in Chapter 6 Douglas starts talking about all of the rest of the slaves in the other houses. He mentions that Mary was whipped everyday and her neck and head. this really hurt my feelings because how could anyone have the heart to abuse another person and feel like they have complete power over someone? i am very happy that Douglas is starting to read and be educated but i feel awful about the other slaves who will never see that kindness for many years to come.
in Chapter 7. Douglas starts talking about how he is a slave for life and this really puts him into a deep depression. I have a connection with I'm because i suffer from depression and have been in his same shoes. I really like how everyone is mean to him but he still cares for them and gives them the kindness everyone deserves. When he helped the Irish men it just shows that he wants to be a good person. Good for the Irish to try to give him an idea to escape. I am glad he finally learns how to write because without him knowing how to write i would probably most definitely not be reading his story right now.
Merrisa, I completly agree with you. Although i think your summarizing this and then puttin your opinion after which is ver good. I liked reading yours because you realted your problems with his and that good. Its probably easier for you to understand then right? I think that a sick person would have the power to whip someone, I personally would never do that. I too am proud and happy that Douglass is starting to read and write and get some sort of education.
