33. Slavery
Narrative of Frederick Douglass
Read the paraphrase for:
“They find less difficulty from the want of beds,
than from the want of time to sleep; for when
their day’s work in the field is done, the most of
them having their washing, mending, and
cooking to do, and having few or none of the
ordinary facilities for doing either of these, very
many of their sleeping hours are consumed in
preparing fro the field the coming day.”
34. Slavery
Narrative of Frederick Douglass
Read the paraphrase for:
“Mr. Sever, the overseer, used to stand by
the door of the quarter, armed with a large
hickory sick and heavy cowskin, ready to
whip any one who was so unfortunate as not
to hear, or, from any other cause, was
prevented from being ready to start for the
field at the sound of the horn.”
35. Slavery
Narrative of Frederick Douglass
Read the paraphrase for:
“The mere recurrence to those songs, even
now, afflicts me; and while I am writing these
lines, an expression of feeling has already
found its way down my cheek.”
36. Slavery
Narrative of Frederick Douglass
Read the paraphrase for:
“The singing of a man cast away upon a
desolate island might be as appropriately
considered as evidence of contentment and
happiness, as the singing of a slave; the
song of the one and of the other are
prompted by the same emotion.”
