1,991 words
The narrative of Frederick Douglass illustrates
the life of a slave. He was not an ordinary slave.
Indeed he dreamed of freedom, just as all slaves
did, but there was something about Frederick
Douglass that made him different. He dreamed of an
education. It was this education that made him to
be different. It was the knowledge that gave him

on his own. He no longer wanted to subject himself
to the...

4,978 words
