Assignments – Week #8
- Our reading this week is Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave. You can find the text in Volume E of the anthology. We will be discussing it in class on Wed, so be sure you have your text with you.
- Choose a passage or quotation from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass that made a strong impression on you in your reading. Post the passage on our class blog and provide a brief (300 word) analysis of its significance. Some things to consider: What does this passage add to our understanding of slavery in America? What does it reveal about Frederick Douglass? What do Douglass’ diction, syntax, and literary style add to his story here? What questions are raised for you by the passage you’ve selected? Please share your response as a “new post” (not as a comment on this post), and include your name in the title of the post. Your post must be up by Wednesday, October 19th in order to receive full credit. Please be prepared to share your passage during class on Wednesday.
