A note about language in Douglass’ autobiography

Douglass sometimes includes words we consider offensive. Derogatory words were part of the experience slaves endured, and Douglass wanted his readers to understand, as much as possible, how one group of people mistreated another. He wanted to expose readers to the reality of his experience.

JOB 1: Chapter Questions

• Most days for the next 3-4 weeks we will read in class.

• Look at the questions for the chapter/s before we read.

• Write full RAPT responses for each question in your comp book while we read.

If you skip doing any of these RAPT steps, how does it affect your writing and the person reading your work?

• Restate the question• Answer the question• Prove your answer with text evidence• Thoroughly explain how your evidence proves

your point

RAPT Writing PracticeWhenever you speak or write, assume your audience doesn’t have a clue what you are talking/writing about.

R If you don’t restate the question somewhere in your response, your audience will spend most of their time trying to figure out what you’re talking/writing about.

A If you don’t answer in detail, they will only get a superficial (fluffy) idea of what you’re thinking.

P If you don’t use an example or evidence, they will think you don’t really have any proof to back up your idea.

T If you don’t thoroughly explain your proof, they will wonder whether it really proves what you’re saying or whether you just threw something out there hoping it will help prove your point.

Example 1 - Advanced RAPT ResponseDouglass’ move to Baltimore “laid the foundation for everything that followed” because he learned and experienced things he probably wouldn’t have experienced had he stayed at Captain Anthony’s farm. For example, he learned how to read and write and why slaves shouldn’t become educated. It showed different perspectives on life. This is all positive because, for all he knows, he could have ended up dying from severe conditions, but instead he was chosen to leave and experience a different slave life.

Example 2 - Advanced RAPT Response

Education in the hands of a slave was dangerous because of the simple fact that they have been deprived of it. Once they obtained it, there would be no stopping them, making them “unmanageable.” Therefore, white men feared that one day they would become inferior, so they kept slaves ignorant due to slaves “getting an inch [and taking]…a mile.”

Example 3 - Advanced RAPT Response

Slaves would “be of no value” to their masters if they learned to read and write because they would become smarter than the masters and learn how to fight back with knowledge. Slaves “will become discontent” with their lives, Frederick overheard Mr. Auld say. Slaves were told to believe that they were meant only for work, not to learn and fight for their freedom.
