PART A: How do the master's treatment of the slaves, as
depicted in chapter 1, affect Douglass?
A. Like most slaveholders, he does not educate them,
which prompts Douglass to learn to read and write.
B. Douglass witnesses brutal abuses of other slaves and
knowing that he will soon enter this life as he grows,
he becomes interested in education, escape, and
abolition.
C. Douglass witnesses brutal abuses of other slaves,
specifically his aunt, and that motivates him to take
revenge on his masters and all other slaveholders.
D. The master beats and whips Douglass, a painful
experience that Douglass will never forget and one
he vows to write down for others to know.
