Frederick Douglass The Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass In reading The Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, I, like others, found myself to be deeply moved. The way in which Mr. Douglass walked me through each stage of his “career” as a slave gave me a better understanding of the African American slaves’ struggle. I realized in reading this mans story that he was a gifted individual and I pondered over where his strength came from' It is true and obvious that Mr. Frederick Douglass was an extremely gifted man, but with no mother or father to guide him, what motivated this man to accomplish his goal' For this man did indeed become free. I believe that it was a combination of Douglass’s personal traits: his observation, faith in truth, assertion, self-education, and brawn that helped guide him in the right direction. In my paper, I hope to present to you how Douglass used his personal traits to guide him and support himself in his crusade for freedom. My first introduction to Douglass’s world of slavery was when he walked me through the scene of his Aunt’s whipping.
