Summer reading💀

I read this in jail and enjoyed it a great deal. He was a slave quite a long time before he finally decided to make a break for it. He even beat up one of his "masters" (who was absolutely terrible). He would see boats in the harbor and wonder what it would be like to be on one heading north. He once said, "I spend my life praying to God to set me free, but nothing happened until I prayed with my legs). I believe he was also married to a white lady (if I remember correctly) which was quite progressive for the time.

I believe that we all can gain some true knowledge and an understanding as to are own ways in which we have slaved and enslaved those from which were to be the unfortunate and were closest round, and also to are selves efficient in ways of doubt and negativity capable only tobe amount able, only fears insecurities into selfish mutilation. This has surely made me more conscientious of my capabilities and responsibilities to first myself,never stop being who I'am. But also to everyone around to reflect and bring about more of those of us who are capable and inspire to speak out. Truly and sincerely Le'Anna E. Leahy❤ please read listen and stand-up we all together can make changes to make a difference thank you Dave Chappell ❤❤❤😊

The saddest part about this book is that before his words were even to be considered he had to find “white” to preface his words and give credence to them. Like what he went through isn’t enough to make it worth while…it had to be “white approved” first.

This is probably one of the best books I've been made to "read" as part of university course dictations. So interesting and horrifying all at once.

This is so poetical

John Locke's theory of tabula rasa, or the "blank slate," posits that every individual is born with a mind devoid of innate knowledge, and that experiences and perceptions inscribe knowledge and understanding onto this mental canvas. While Locke's theory aptly characterizes the cognitive development of those born outside the shackles of slavery, a poignant divergence emerges when considering children born into bondage. In their case, it is the dearth of experiences that etches the contours of their cognitive landscape. Frederick Douglass's vivid narrative serves as a compelling testament to this nuanced interpretation. Deprived of the fundamental markers of childhood, such as birthdays, Douglass shares a palpable longing for the simple knowledge of his own age, which serves as a poignant reminder of the stark void in his formative experiences. As he laments, "By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant" (Douglass 12). This enforced ignorance, far from being incidental, becomes a deliberate act of erasure, rendering the enslaved not only bereft of their autonomy but also robbing them of the very fabric of their identity. Furthermore, Douglass's narrative unveils the heart-wrenching rupture of the maternal bond within the crucible of slavery. The forced separation of a child from their mother, a practice wielded with brutal efficiency, serves a dual purpose: to thwart the natural affection between parent and child, and to dampen the child's capacity to forge emotional connections. As Douglass poignantly observes, "The child is placed under the care of an old woman, too old for field labor. For what this separation is done, I do not know, unless it be to hinder the development of the child’s affection toward its mother, and to blunt and destroy the natural affection of the mother for the child" (Douglass 12). Here, the enforced alienation becomes the chisel that sculpts the contours of an individual's emotional landscape. Perhaps most heart-rending is Douglass's poignant recounting of his mother's passing, which underscores the brutalizing impact of slavery on familial bonds. Estranged from her nurturing presence, his bereavement is a stark testament to the obliteration of the natural affections that should have bound them. He reflects, "Never having enjoyed, to any considerable extent, her soothing presence, her tender and watchful care, I received the tidings of her death with much the same emotions I should have probably felt at the death of a stranger" (Douglass 13). In this wrenching admission, Douglass reveals how the very essence of familial connection, the cornerstone of human experience, was systematically dismantled. In conclusion, Frederick Douglass's narrative lays bare the profound implications of Locke's theory of tabula rasa within the crucible of slavery. Far from being a passive receptacle waiting to be inscribed, the enslaved mind is actively shaped by the cruel negations of experience. Through the deliberate erasure of birthdays, the severance of maternal bonds, and the callous disregard for familial ties, slavery does not merely blot out the canvas of a child's mind, but it etches upon it a harrowing tale of absence and deprivation. Douglass's narrative, therefore, serves as a poignant testament to the resilience of the human spirit, which, even in the direst of circumstances, seeks to reclaim its agency and reconstruct its own narrative.
