challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense slow-paced
i’m not rating it because my personal opinion and enjoyment hs nothing to do with the fact that everyone should read this book or one like it. this history is important for everyone - especially  white folks - to consume as it is so real and informative.
i did read it for school and i’m glad because i would not have otherwise. 
Frederick Douglass was an incredible person with an incredible story.

Read for African American Lit (Fall 2021) - wrote close reading paper on chapter 11 section. Found it to be an interesting narrative and have enjoyed the complications my teacher puts forth about it. Excited to read and discuss more works to cross reference and learn.

Frederick Douglass's slave narrative is a classic for a reason. He clearly and passionately describes his life as an enslaved man in the early 19th century, pulling on his readers' emotions in just the right way. This narrative is terrifying to read, at once humbling and inspiring. Atrocity after atrocity is committed, and the strength of the human spirit is truly remarkable to witness in these pages. Douglass is known as a great speaker and leader, but it must be recognized that he was also a great writer.
