this blog..

my topic is whether or not someone changes when they own a slave. In my opinion I think they do because after you treat humans like that you forget how to treat people you consider human. i think that my central argument is that humans shouldn't own other humans and treat them that way. When you treat someone so awful you get use to it and you lose that since of being a person.  At first you feel bad but then you get use to it. like If you Argue with your parents. at first you feel bad and don't want to do it again and then the second time you start liking it and after awhile you get use to it and don't feel bad and just think of it as a way of life. this doesn't make it okay nor does it make life better for either one. I feel like if you own a slave the first one would maybe be treated better then the last ones. You don't think anything of it until someone tells you its wrong and gives you reasons why its wrong and  kind of brings you back to how you should truly treat people.

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.

i really liked this reading because i felt like i could read on for days. in chapter 9 it made me feel like i was in there like i was DOuglas and i was being treated like that. i makes me sad about the grandma and how she had to die alone. i makes me think am i going to die alone?
in chapter 10 i really dont like how douglas in treated. it makes me really upset that he has to work all the time all day. i would sleep also all day if i had onl one day off. i wish he would just run away already. i mean he has dates now(:
in the last chapter. it made me sooooo shocked. i couldnt believe douglas had stode up for himself against his master. but then again the master seemed like a baby and he couldnt control his slaves. this really was a great chapter to me because douglas reminds me of myself in a sence and he stood up and made me pround!! keep it up doug(:

Response TOOO Chapters 5,6,7(:

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.
