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.
