The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
a book review

By Courtney Rumala, 8th grade,
February 11, 2004

     The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is a timeless classic about the cruel chains of slavery and the burning eagerness to escape to freedom. This descriptive book takes you on a journey, from the time Frederick is a little slave boy playing in the fields to his adulthood as a slave working at the hands of cruel, stonehearted masters. In addition, Frederick becomes a famous orator, U.S. minister to Haiti and one of the most articulate figures in African-American literature and history. This book also tells of two things slave masters feared and despised most: the knowledge of how to read and write. As his desire for knowledge grew, so did his desire to be free.
