Frederick Douglass: An American Slave Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave I just finished reading the book titled Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave. I feel that this book was very well written. Frederick Douglass did an excellent job of giving a accounts of what is what like to be a slave in America. He was able to make it feel like you were a slave along side of him with the outstanding amount of specific detail that he gave throughout the book. Before reading this book I knew about slavery and knew that the slaves were not treated well, but at the conclusion of my reading I had a much better understanding of the wretchedness of their conditions and the severity of the beatings that the slaves were given for the smallest mistakes and for standing up for their rights as a human being. The author of my book was obviously Frederick Douglass himself. He was an African American that was born into slavery in the United States. Douglass’ born name was Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, but throughout his life span and his escape to freedom, his name was changed numerous times.
