From the beginning of the book I could relate Douglasses story to Solomon Northup’s story. Both went through great deals of pain during slavery. My question is even if one is knowledgeable and educated are people still going to take you differently because of the color of your skin? Why were masters so cruel? What was going through their heads?

Since the Lamb is praised and written so highly of does the Lamb  represent something greater than just a lamb? Does the Tyger also have a meaning? 

In this poem Keats explains certain pictures he sees in the urn. My question is to what extent is all he says true? What truth is there behind it all? What can make him imagine certain stories?

By revealing that Monkey believed they needed something to save them does he point bring out the idea that humans also need something to believe in to move on with life? Are we like the monkey in any sense?

The article Story reminded me of a Ted Talk given by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie called The Danger of a Single Story. They both are relatable in the sense that stories are being told either to give people imagination or an idea of what is life. My question  is how does an authors background, experiences or environment affect the way they write a story? How are readers affected by their own interpretations of the story?
