This writing assignment will give you a glimpse into the nature of American slavery. Please provide well-developed and insightful answers to the following questions based on Frederick Douglass’ autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave (1845). His wrenching autobiography serves as an invaluable primary account detailing the aspects, mechanisms, and evils of American slavery seen through the eyes of a man who lived and escaped from it. When answering these questions, don’t simply rephrase or regurgitate Douglass’s words, but utilize and express your own. For some background on Douglass’ life, read about abolitionism on pages 332-335 of your textbook. Three (3) point questions may be answered in one-two paragraphs and the ten (10) point question in three-four paragraphs. To submit the assignment, send via Canvas to the Assignments Module (preferred) for Writing Assignment #5 and or send via a Word or PDF file.1. Explain why Douglass knows nothing of his accurate age.

The first video we are going to be watching a video essay by YouTuber Lindsay Ellis instead of a TED talk. (I really enjoy watching her work, and she does impeccable research.) This video directly correlates with our work on the research paper about Monsters. Many of the claims Ellis makes directly relate to theses from Cohen's chapter. After you have watched the short video, respond to the following questions: What is Ellis' thesis or main argument? What does Ellis use to back up her claims? What kind of examples does she share with her audience?Does Ellis try to appeal to your logic, your emotions or both? Think about the big three rhetorical strategies (ethos, pathos, logos) and discuss: Does Ellis effectively appeal to her audience? (Remember to use specific examples.) What connections or parallels can you make between Cohen's chapter, Rabin's article, the stories we read this week, and Ellis' video? What was your biggest takeaway or AHA moment from this Talk? What interested you or surprised you the most? "My Monster Boyfriend" | Lindsay EllisThe second video for this week is by LaRon Readus and was created in conjunction as a sort of companion to the Lindsey Ellis video. Once you have watched the video, please answer the following questions: What was your AHA moment from this video or what stuck out to you most?What connections can you make between this video and Cohen's chapter or anyone of the other sources we've covered?How does this source expand, alter, or improve your knowledge of monsters and how we can analyze them through the lens of race and class?Does Readus try to appeal to your logic, your emotions or both? Think about the big three rhetorical strategies (ethos, pathos, logos) and discuss: Does Readus effectively appeal to his audience? (Remember to use specific examples.)
