“Work, work, work, was scarcely more the order of the day than of the night. The longest days were too short for him, and the shortest nights too long for him. I was somewhat unmanageable when I first went there, but a few months of this discipline tamed me. Mr. Covey succeeded in breaking me. I was broken in body, soul, and spirit.”
You deserve this
Event 2
Where is Douglass?
On hearing the fan stop, he left Immediately, and came to the spot where we were. He hastily inquired what the matter was. Bill answered that I was sick, and there was no one to bring wheat to the fan. I had by this time crawled away under the side of the post and rail-fence by which the yard was enclosed, hoping to find relief by getting out of the sun.
He's sick sir.

Event 3
Thank you! I'm doing well.
Hello! How are you?
Douglass is worked very hard by Covey and is beaten often. Douglass is working in the field and Covey is hitting him
Climax
Douglass begins to run away from Covey and avoids many beatings. Douglass is hiding out by the fence
Event 5
How dare you?
Douglass begins to recognize that Covey is being kind in the yard. Douglass is talking to Covey crossing the yard.
"I immediately started for home; and upon entering the yard gate, out came Mr. Covey on his way to meeting. He spoke to me very kindly"
After Douglass returns, Covey tackles him in the loft and Douglass fights back. Covey is tackling Douglass as Douglass fights back.
“Long before daylight, I was called to go and rub, curry, and feed, the horses. I obeyed, and was glad to obey. But whilst thus engaged, whilst in the act of throwing down some blades from the loft, Mr. Covey entered the stable with a long rope...I seized Covey hard by the throat; and as I did so, I rose”
LET GO OF ME!
Covey goes and finds Douglass and beats him for 2 hours. Covey gets to Douglass and hurts him as punishment for fighting back.
“Covey said, “Take hold of him, take hold of him!” Bill said his master hired him out to work, and not to help to whip me; so he left Covey and myself to fight our own battle out. We were at it for nearly two hours.”
