According to "The Narrative of Frederick Douglass," discuss the importance of education and freedom. How does he become educated and how does it change him? Why does he believe that education will set him free? Identify and explain the instances when education becomes a burden to him. Explain your answers. Use specific examples from the narrative.
1) Don't know his birthday
2) Mrs. Auld taught him A,B,C then spell three and four letter words
3) Mr. Auld - "If you teach a nigger how to read, there would no keeping him
-- it would make him discontented
4) He now understood how the white man is able to enslave the black man
-- From that moment Douglass knew that the way to freedom from slavery was reading
-- From what he most dreaded, I most desired
5)Making friends of little white boys he met on the streets
-- get a quick lesson from then when running an errand
6) Constantly reading the "The Columbian Orator"
-- interesting thoughts of my own soul
-- Sheridan's denunciation of slavery
-- the readings of these documents enabled me to utter my thoughts and meet the arguments brought forth to sustain slavery
7) At times I would feel that learning to read had been a curse
-- it had given me a view of my wretched condition with a remedy
-- envied fellow slaves' ignorance
8) Teaching other slaves to read at Sabbath school
-- greatest days
-- any moment they could be taken and given a whipping
