Journal #3

Choose a section from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass that you think would have been particularly effective in persuading the reader and/or in achieving its other objectives. Think about his nineteenth-century readers: what stories or arguments do you think were likely to be effective and why? If applicable describe any pro-slavery justifications to which Douglass responds and/or the way Douglass interprets his experiences.

Your journal entry should be a page to two pages, typed, double-spaced and carefully proofread. Be sure to include specific references to the text.

Due in class on Thursday, October 12th.
