Douglass and Privileges

In the novel the narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, there are many references to the privileges. For example Frederick talks about white privileges, black privileges, privileges of slave holders, slave privileges ( even though they do not have many).  As Douglass learns more from his life he revels all new privileges. For example in the book he says how slaves have no privileges to stay with their family, or they are not close to the families that much. This is a privilege slaves do not get to have. As Frederick experience deep southern slavery he also mentions how when a master is talking to the slave they have no right to speak back to them, all they can do is stand there listen to them and get sever punishments without saying a word. From his life one important privilege Frederick talked about was privilege to be a free colored man. he experienced that when he escaped from slavery and went north. He also mentioned how he cannot describe how happy he was. every time he wants to add or say something new whenever someone asks of his experience. This is a privilege Frederick fought for all of his life and was successful, however some of his friends could not make it and they were sent back to slavery again. He mentions in the novel how sorry he felt and how much he was close to them.

The end of the story was significant because Fredrick wanted us to how much difficulty and harsh time he had to go through until he finally found freedom. I also think he wrote his biography because he wanted people to know how hard and cruel it is to be a slave, the way slaveholders treated slaves, the attempts for salves to escape, and the background of southern slavery. The main thing I saw in the appendix was allusion to religion and bible.In the novel he explain how becoming a christian made slaveholder become more harsh and cruel. He wanted us to see the life of past and appreciate the present we have now. He also wanted to inform us about the northern states and abolitionist. There were good people too.
