Reaction 5-7 October 6th 2010
The more i read this story the more i realize that America ignores the fact we did so much harm the African Americans. In these three chapters certain things stood out to me like in chapter 5 it was saying he got close to his master and he wouldn't do much hard field work but just heard cows, clean the garden an house. It was also very sad how the little kids would get fed and what they had to wear threw the winter and summer. I also thought it was very sad how they would travel on ship especially after seeing that video in Mr. Garcia's. In chapter 6 the thing that sticks out to me is his new Mistress, she was so nice to him and even started teaching him stuff like the A B C's. The big thing that stood out to me was when Mrs. Alud started to yell at Alas (pg 24 paragraph 3) and starts telling her this and that about African Americans that they don't deserve to know anything and if you give them a little they will over rule you. This i think is what struck him the most and gave him the motivation to say i can do this and prove to you i can be better then you. In chapter 7 it talks about how his mistress would still teach him even though she knew she would get in trouble and he soon started reading and putting words together and he pushed him self to write. Which was a great ending to chapter 7:]]

Elena, I loved reading this. You are smarter than what you seem like. Good job for siting where you got your information at. Your gunna need to do it in college, so starting young. . . . I like it. I have a question for you, Do you think that Douglass likes where he is with the mistress? Because you think thats what stood out to you. Meaning you think its good to have en education, and by doing so, you can relate to this possibly?
