Tavin Jackson wrote an autobiography report about Frederick Douglass. Douglass was a hard worker, courageous, and unfortunate as he was born into slavery. However, he was also clever as he taught himself to read using other children. An interesting part of Douglass' narrative was when he fought back against one of his masters, Mr. Covey, and earned his respect, ensuring he was no longer hurt. The report also included a poem about the misery of slavery and separation of families through sale. Tavin recommends the book as it provides insight into the poor living conditions and cruelty of slavery.

1. Autobiography report by Tavin Jackson

2.  Hard worker (made money after he was free by
working at hard jobs that no white man would take)
 Courageous (fought back against one of his masters
who was going to beat him)
 Unfortunate (born a slave, had some terrible masters)
 Clever (used other children to teach himself to read)

3. An interesting event in the Narrative of the Life of
Frederick Douglas is when he fights back against one of
his masters. When Mr. Covey comes to punish Douglass,
Douglass fights back and earns respect from Mr.
Covey. I found This interesting because after that event
Mr. Covey never hurt Douglass again.

4. “Gone, gone, sold and gone
To the rice swamp dank and lone,
Where the slave whip ceaseless swings,
Where the noisome insect stings,
Where the fever demon strews
Poison with the falling dews,
Where the sickly sunbeams glare
Through the hot and misty air;-
Gone, gone, sold and gone
To the rice swamp dank and lone
From Virginia hills and waters-
Woe is me, my stolen daughters!”
-The Slaves’ Poet, Whittier

5. I learned from this author’s experience
to be thankful for what I have, like my freedom
and food. I also learned to never give up like he never
gave up on freedom and his desire to read.

6. I would recommend this book because I found it
very interesting. I learned a lot about slavery.
I learned how poor their living conditions were and
How mean some people were to them. I also didn't know
how cruel some masters were to their slaves , its like
They thought their slaves were animals.
