So this was very long! I was getting a little confusing on what was going on. But i got it after reading it for like an hour and a half!! So lets see it all starts that Mr. Covey stops whipping him:) that's nice i mean he must be way happy he has some what of a power. The thing that really surprised me was that they would actually be nice enough to let them get some what a rest for the days between Christmas and new years. I feel that it was really wrong that the stupid<<< masters would make them get drunk and just enjoy seeing them get all wasted! like what the heck yo! That is just wrong you torture them enough let them rest!!! This got me mad! When he moved to Mr. Hopkins that sucked because he was a mean ANIMAL too!! I swear these stupid masters thought the slaves were just a piece of worthlessness but they were the ones being animals not respecting man kind and just using them to their benefit!! He then returned to Mr. Freeland house and that was nice he never really beat them or anything. So on pg 44 like the last paragraphs>> It starts to talk about how Douglass, Henry, and John want to escape. And it starts talking about their plan which seems pretty easy but they just don't know what they have to really go threw. Henry and John seem like the people that would actually run away just because of the fact that they weren't dumb and they wanted more then just being slaves for the rest of their lives. Which is nice. So the day come where they will be "running away" So this obviously does not succeed and they get caught before they even did it. I totally think those two people talking to the white men were the ones who told them. Well they went to jail. And the thing that really shocked me about this is that they said it wasn't that bad the only bad thing was the living condition and the fact that they didn't get much to eat. But think about it...how could you think jail is nice? So it got me mad how Mrs. Freeland comes and gets Henry and John and she blames it all on Douglass i mean those two other idiots have brains think with its not like he forced them to run away!! Well any way they both get out and leave him alone. So he stays there for a while and then his Master finally come and gets him. (I have a question....How long was he there??? a little confused....) anyways... He goes to a Baltimore plantation place and there he gets beat by a whole bunch of people!! And then he goes back to his masters house Mr. Hugh and i thought it was nice how his mistress took care of Douglass and how the master didn't want him go back. That's nice.:] Then at the end it starts talking how he actually gets paid now thats nicetoo:]] good ending.. But then again super long story!! :]]
questions:
1.What was so important about getting Drink on Christmas
2.What motivated Douglass to keep learning when he knew he would get in trouble.

i really liked your response elana, you made it easy to follow and its clear that you read and understood the text. but i think it would benifit you more if you used punctuation instead of using<<<<
ReplyDeleteElena,
ReplyDeleteI realy like how even though it was long, you still did a good job at citing where you were talking anout. I think you have a goo working habit by, sumerizing whats been going on then you say well this is what i think about this and heres my opinion. You did a great job but i think that maybe you could brake it down into sections so it just doesnt look like a really long paragraph.
