What tools do human beings use to transcend difficulties

In the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, a well re-known African American of his time recounts his life as a slave. He tells of the horrors of growing up in a plantation where he was a subject to extreme racism but manages to run away to freedom and later becomes a renowned writer and activist. He tells of how he was separated from his mother to a plantation farm. He witnesses his aunt being bitten by his owner and recounts how he flees Baltimore to one of the free states in the north.

Douglass denotes that, " Mr Covey succeeded in breaking me. I was broken in body, soul, and spirit. My natural elasticity was crushed, my intellect languished, the disposition to read departed, the cheerful spark that lingered about my eye died; the night of slavery closed in upon me; and behold a man transformed into a brute!"  which portrays the mental and emotional state of a slave who had been dehumanized and the tools he used to transcend the difficulties he went through as a human being.

Douglass astute analyses the psychology of slavery with eloquent assertions of self, and a striking command of rhetoric lift. This work above others in its genre. Particularly memorable scenes include Frederick’s early life teaching himself to read, a fight with the slave-breaker Covey, and his apostrophe to freedom as he watches sailboats on the Chesapeake Bay, together with his interpretation of slave songs as songs of sorrow.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
