Comic StripWhy Douglass Wanted to Stop Being a SlaveBy Tori Dixon
Narrator states "Here, too, the slaves of all the other farms received their monthly allowance of food" (Douglass p2).
Here is your monthly allowance of food.
I hate doing this I just want to learn how to read
I will teach you how to read if you give me bread in return.
Douglass thinks, "I found time to get a lesson before my return. I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house" (Douglass p8).
Douglass learns, "The more I read, the more I was led to abhor and detest my enslavers" (Douglass p9).
Ok!
I can't believe I have been living like this. I am going to get out of here.
I will teach you to read if I can have bread in return.
Douglass happily states, "Freedom now appeared, to disappear no more forever. It was heard in every sound, and seen in every thing" (Douglass p9).
