#1 “If a slave is unwilling to go with his new master, he is whipped, or locked up in jail, until he consents to go, and promises not to run away during the year.Should he chance to change his mind, thinking it justifiable to violate an extorted promise, woe unto him if he is caught! The whip is used till the blood flows at his feet; and his stiffened limbs are put in chains, to be dragged in the field for days and days!” When I read to here, I know that the slavery not because you are women, you will have better life than men. I think this is similar with Fredrick Douglas, they both write both how the slavery have a miserable life. How the people treat slavery between women and men.
#2 After I read this topic, I know that people must have their value to change the life of yourself. Second being a slavery you really miserable during that time period, so people have to work together to against this, and get your own freedom. lastly, I think people are really no heart to treat these people as slavery, people did not really treat slavery as people, so I think these are really important thing to let people know what happened during slavery time.
Zijie, The second assignment was asking to you find out whether slavery exists TODAY. What can you learn about contemporary forms of slavery?
