**QUOTES** from Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.

**figurative language- "His comings were like a thief in the night" (pg 565)
**sentence length- "Again, he would sometimes walk up to us, and give us orders as though he was upon the point of starting a long journey, turn his back upon us, and make as though he was going to the house to get ready; and, before he would get halfway thither, he would turn short and crawl into a fence-corner, or behind some tree, and there watch us till the going down of the sun..." (pg 565)
**elaborate- "It was never to hot or cold; it could never rain, blow, hail or snow to hard for us to work in the field" (pg 565)
** emotional- "I was broken in my body, soul, and spirit" (pg 565).
**word choice- "My natural elasticity was crushed, my intellect languished, the disposition to read departed, the cheerful spark that lingured about my eye died; that dark night of slavery closed in upon me; and behold a man transformed into a brute!" (pg 565)

Coming of age in Mississippi- Anne Moody

- high school kids where the ones to mistreat at the bar
- if whites stood up for blacks they were treated like blacks
- sat in white section of eating place
whites don't want change
- got kicked, food poured on, drug acrost floor
-police didn't do anything
-she didn't blame the whites she said it was like a diesease

ballad of birmingham- dudly randall
Little girl wanted to protest, mom wanted her to go to church. the church got blown up. 4 kids died



Declaration of independence
The list of complaints begins with "He..."
1. Why do they repeat it? So you can't be confused as to who is doing the acts, and it shows emphasis.

2. Why do they make it personal? So people want to be involved and make a change, and the people want to be able to have their freedom which is why the came to America.

3. How does the D.I. anticipate its audiences resistance to change? They are so used to the ways of living in Great Brittan and even though they know what is going on is wrong they have no other ways of living. Change brings hardships and if they want change its not going to be easy.

4. How does the D.I. use parallelism? How does it impact the effectiveness of the piece?
It keeps it all tied together. Since only one person wrote it, it is all in the same style of writing. The begining and end are trying to say the same thing but in differnt words. It gives it a more powerful meaning beacuse they want to fight the government and change it.

5.What to you is the most convincing example stated in the D.I.? Why?
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature. I think that would be scary because it would feel like something bad was going to happen and you would be on edge all of the time, and have no idea what was going on with the government.
