berkough's review against another edition

A book I fully intend to go back to. This has been on my "currently reading" list for so long now I just thought it was time to get it off the list until I actually pick it back up.

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.
