Slavery :(
What did you like most about Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass?
The narration was brilliant. You could imagine it was Frederick himself telling the story.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The description of everyday life and the punishments handed out by the slaveholders and overseers was very good but very saddening.
Any additional comments?
When Frederick wrote the book he wasn't thinking that it would be read 150 years later! He left out details of his escape and other details for fear of giving too much away or causing embarrassment to people he respected.
