As a slave child, Frederick begins reading lessons with his master's wife. Once her husband finds out she is doing this, he's angry and explains why it is best to never let slaves acquire knowledge. At this point, Frederick realizes how powerful knowledge is and that once a slave acquires it, they will no longer remain a slave. From that day on, he does whatever it takes to learn to read and gain knowledge.

What was Frederick Douglass known for?

Frederick Douglass was known for his life story, called The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, that I had to read for school. He tells about his masters and about the treatment of his fellow slaves. Frederick addressed this narrative to southerners in the 1800s to demonstrate the treatment of the slaves. After Douglass published his book, many believed him and agreed with him. Some became abolitionists. He also helped on the Underground railroad and helped to fight for women's rights. He thought that everyone was created equally and that nothing could change that.


Which of Frederick Douglass arguments for marking the abolition of slavery an aim of the war do you find most convincing?

The 12th one because Peeta Mellarks bread taste soo good in that one.


Why did Frederick Douglass's mistress chand her mind about teaching him to read?

In the system of slavery, no slaves were allowed to learn how to read or write. it was for the purpose of control. If they were capable to read, they could find out how despairing their situation was, If they were capable to write, they could write about what they felt and what they think and spread among their people, then people would go together and do something that their master did not want to see. That was the role of education played in terms of control and oppression.


What sorts of things were remarkable about the Renaissance?

The Renaissance was remarkable because it changed peoples' ways of thinking. During the preceding Dark Ages, common people were oppressed and constantly pushed down. Their lives were literally dark and hopeless. They were given no freedom. The Renaissance brought change in the form of creativity and self worth. While the system of monarchy remained the same, people had hope. They could paint what they wanted, sing what they wanted, write what they wanted, and become skilled in the craft that they chose. I find this "rebirth", a change from the old to the new, truly remarkable.
