Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass Essay<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By Talia Abrams <\/span><\/p>\n

Professor Paterson<\/span><\/p>\n

English Fundamentals class<\/span><\/p>\n

June 16, 2015<\/span><\/p>\n

When Douglass was sent to Baltimore by his previous master Mr. Lloyd, He learned that by using your knowledge and education you can change your situation in life. Frederick Douglass\u2019s narrative shows how freedom can be achieved through education. By educating himself, he was able to understand his situation and escape slavery.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe argument which he so warmly urged, against my learning to read, only served to inspire me with a desire and determination to learn\u201d (Douglass 44). Douglass began working on his goal to understand the words written in books and signs around the streets. Douglass took advantage of his bountiful amount of food that was permitted for him and traded it with poor white boys for reading lessons. Soon Douglass could read what the signs were on the street. When he got a chance, he would get ahold of the newspaper and read about different things happening in the world. He got the understanding of how African Americans were controlled by white men through the brainwashing that was projected onto uneducated enslaved blacks. Because enslaved blacks had no knowledge of doing anything else with their lives other than being ruled over by whites, they didn’t think that there were options such as freedom for themselves. Douglass was also able to retain the information on how the North was a free place for African Americans. He wanted to be able to escape to freedom. Douglass began to teach himself how to write and could now sign his signature on things such as paperwork or for purchasing tickets. Douglass was sent back to his old master where he met several other enslaved African Americans who became Douglass’ brothers and new students. While secretly teaching these other Enslaved he realized how much harm had occurred due to lack of education. Enslaved African Americans had become puppets under the white man’s whip. Now that Douglass and his brothers could read directions and maps, finding their way to the north would be so much easier. Like Douglass, his new student’s mindsets were brightening, and they too saw the world differently. “The work of instructing my dear fellow-slaves was the sweetest engagement with which I was ever blessed\u201d(Douglass 59). He noticed that it only takes a little knowledge to understand how the slavery system worked. Once you understood the system, you could find a way to get yourself into the free states and gain your liberty. Douglass also learned several different trades when he was hired out by his master Auld. For an enslaved Douglass made a good amount of money. He apprenticed to be a shipbuilder. He also learned carpentry and caulking. These trades helped him to make some money before his escape. These trades later helped Douglass retain a job when he was in the free states. It also helped him prepare for what having your own job and managing your life would be like. He became street smart as well as intelligent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not having an education is what kept most African Americans enslaved by Caucasian men and women. Mr. Auld states that \u201cA nigger should know nothing but to obey his master \u2014 to do as he is told to do. You teach that nigger how to read; there would be no keeping him. It would forever unfit him to be enslaved\u201d(Douglass 44). Keeping enslaved African Americans from being educated made it so that they didn’t know how to escape their situation. They would have done nothing else but serve their white masters. This way they would not know that freedom and liberty was even a possibility for them. Some enslaved blacks barely could comprehend having the freedom to do what they want. Not having a good education made it so that African Americans could not advance in life. They would be stuck doing labor jobs such as work in factories or on plantations. Slaves knew nothing of their situation. All they knew how to do was physical labor. <\/span><\/p>\n

Receiving the proper education was Douglass\u2019 key to escaping slavery. \u201cAfter interrupting a reading lesson, Mr. Auld scolded Ms. Auld for teaching Douglass how to read. \u201cFrom that moment, I understood the pathway from slavery to freedom\u201d (Douglass 44). If Frederick Douglass had not been educated he would not have been a free man. He would have died working for a master. Other slaves that he taught would not have been educated. He also would not have been able to share his stories with the world. If he hadn’t shared his story, many other African Americans would not have known the importance of education. Being an intelligent person is what set him apart from other slaves. It was his key out of enslavement and his ticket to freedom. Beyond Frederick, Douglass education improves the person and allows society to advance. If Douglass had not been a learned enslaved African American, he would not have made it to freedom. He would have been caught trying to catch a train to Philadelphia. Not having the knowledge to know how trains work would have been an end to his goal for Freedom. Many other things such as miss reading signs, trusting the wrong people, hiding in dangerous places, etc. would have terminated Douglass\u2019s escape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frederick Douglass spread awareness of slavery\u2019s cruelty through his works. How education made the difference in his freedom and in his enslavement was major. Douglass shared his story with people through his words. Something that he could not have done without his education. He shows how education can not only change your life but can be the difference between enslavement and freedom. Frederick Douglass\u2019s narrative shows how freedom can be achieved through education. By educating himself, he was able to understand his situation and escape slavery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reflection<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have learned that there are meaning and symbolism\u00a0in all content. Writing this paper, I was able to reflect on the life of Frederick Douglass, a slave that went through many challenges and hardships. I got to take an in-depth approach and analysis of someone’s life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have spent a majority of my life dedicating myself to finding the best ways to involve myself with the community and other organizations. I truly believe that the best way to invoke change is to be directly involved. I am currently enrolled at American University and will graduate May 2021. My goals in life are to work with people toward bettering low and middle-income families and civilians by targeting economic and health issues. \u00a0I have a lot of experience working with people and children involving life goals and choices. So far I have been involved in Hawaii Leadership Academy, and have worked on passing a piece of legislation (HB2177) and the startup of a nonprofit (Kauai Edible Parks).<\/p>\n

I have worked on four different internships throughout my time in college that have helped shape and develop my skills and work experiences. I held political internships at the capital, a business internship in Madrid and an educational internship in Chile. I got to have so many incredible experiences that opened my eyes in so many ways.<\/p>\n

I seek to be well rounded. I have multitudes of abilities that range between different types of athletics such as surfing, diving and gymnastics to artsy talents such as music, photography and painting. I am continuously trying to develop new hobbies and abilities. In my work I am constantly trying to find new ways to better my skills and find fun ways to get things done.<\/p>\n

Presently I am involved in SPA Leadership and have a passion for Law and Business. I am currently working for a law firm in D.C that focuses on employment issues. I am eager to be involved in projects that focus on helping minorities groups and betterment of communities. I want those around me to have the ability to change, grow and sustain themselves and or their situation.<\/p>\n

SPA Leadership is an incredible program that spans throughout the four years of undergrad. Throughout SPA leadership you learn to work in a team, lead your own project, understand different types of leadership, and have the opportunity to engage the community in projects. The SPA leadership program increased my knowledge on the various types of leadership as well as how I can implement them in my everyday life. This program really helped me to become a leader and a follower. SPA leadership has shown me what my strengths are as well as allowed me to develop my weaknesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To me a leader is someone who can connect with individuals to invoke change. I have often looked at leadership as a role that was hard to define. Throughout my time at SPA leadership and American University, I have studied different elements of what it takes to be a good leader. I know now that leadership is broken down into many different forms. Transformational, transactional, and adaptive leaders are all methods that showcase different strategies, traits, strengths and weaknesses that are critical to the success of a leader. I know now that leaders invoke change in many different ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have experienced a whole new change in myself through the many experiences that I have had at SPA Leadership. The biggest one for me is understanding my strengths and weaknesses. I took a test, and my Gallup Report showed that I am a relator, achiever, futuristic, strategic, and a learner. I have not been able to define my own strengths accurately, but after taking the test, I realized different areas in my life in which I excel at in a leadership way. This meant a lot to me because I can use these strengths to invoke change in my own way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I had an incredible SPA Leadership team freshman year. We worked on an initiative to help sexually trafficked individuals find aid by scanning barcodes that took them to a site with information on how to get out of their situations. We met with incredible officials who supported our project and gave us insight on our initiative. Through this project, I got to use my strengths to better the sex traffic initiative that we worked on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We learned about many different methods of leadership throughout the four years at SPA leadership. What really stuck out to me was that there is continuous development in leadership. We are always finding out new things and components that invoke change in our evolving society. Leadership has many components and forms. I also learned that with these methods good and bad people could all qualify as a good leader if their efforts as an individual invoke change amongst many people. I understand that the tools and methods from SPA leadership are the first step and that it is now up to us to take the knowledge and be the best versions and leaders of ourselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I continuously seek to develop myself to enhance and utilize my strengths while bettering my weaknesses. Work to be someone that people can rely on and has positive traits that collaborate and compliment others that I work with. Being a leader is about being able to make a change and a difference. I know at a place where I can lead those who are struggling with issues to find a means to change their situations. I feel like I am continuously working on ways to help those around me by being open-minded and adaptable. <\/span><\/p>\n
