Freewrite 1- American Lit (Frederick Douglass)
I thought the purpose of the two letters of introduction were to attempt to convey Frederick Douglass's emotions about his situation as a slave. After reading Chapter 1, I felt very bored and tired. The information in the chapter became dry and boring. There was a lot of information which made the story boring to read and put me to sleep yet again. I really don't like this as much as I liked reading Edgar Allen Poe. I don't like reading this because I find that biographies are uninteresting. I really don't enjoy reading the stories about other peoples' lives and why they were either fantastic or completely miserable. When I think about it, I'm completely fine with reading a short story or a few paragraphs about someones life but after a while it becomes boring. The first chapter seemed to give a lot of information about the basics of Frederick's lifestyle as a slave as well as provided quite a bit of information about what it was like to listen to, watch, and experience the brutal happenings within the lifestyle of a slave. Although, I did find the descriptions of what it was like to hear the punishment that the slaves had to endure quite disturbing.
