This is the scene where Frederick Douglass gives some bread to the poor kids. In return they would tell him what they know. However, he wants to show his gratitude but he can't out of embarrassment since he's a slave that's getting taught how to read in a Christian country. Which is also a unpardonable offence.
I will be giving you bread as gratitude for sharing your knowledge with me . I hope this is enough. As you eat I'll be talking about slavery since you might be curious.

Oh I see, please do !
I will teach you how to read and write. This will help you gain more knowledge. It can also help you in the near future.
This scene is where the mistress teaches him how to read and write. However, later on the mistress turns cold and stone hearted because of the topic slavery. This affected both her and Frederick Douglass because of the way she treats herself and Douglass.

How interesting yet unfair document. These enslavers are some of the most wicked people ever! Oh how I loathe them.
Master Hugh was right.. I should've not read this book, the amount of anger and sadness I feel is not good for my heart. Now I'm starting to wish I was a beast, those creatures don't have to think or worry about this sort of thing.
This scene is where 12 year old Douglass finds a book that has documents of a slave escaping and getting captured again. They had conversations which was something unexpected because of the smart things the slave was saying. He also reads a speech from the same book but once he finishes reading he's conflicted with the amount of information that he has, wishing he was a monster or being that doesn't agonize over this at all.
