Douglass Narrative

In reading the Douglass Narrative I recieved a very powerful and educational of what it was like to be a slave and what slave life consisted of. I really liked this narrative for many reasons. He gave you the feeling that you were reliving the complete abolitionist movement in hopes that someday you would rise above all the racism and cruel treatment that was given to african- americans. Douglass wrote about his own personal experiences and what it was to live through slavery. I cannot fathom where I was owned by another human being, enountered daily whippings, and lived a life without respect.
Douglass gives us a great understanding of "authority." He wanted us to feel what it was like to be slave and have sense of what a slavery was. He portrayed the image of a slave in a way that made you feel sympathy and anger at the same time, for those who endured this tragic life. I consider him a great author and give him credit for writting such a great narrative. He speaks to us through words on a paper and makes feel what he has in his own personal struggles.
