It is here that I think Douglass makes another significant step, that is when he creates protections for himself and his clan, or as I like to think of it, their own declaration of independence from the slave community. But, like all things thus far in Douglass’s life, things fell through, and he suffered the mean hand of a relentless slave system. Although Douglas had burned his fake protection papers in order to save himself and his allies, the declaration was still clear in his mind. Like a true revolutionary, he stuck to it and eventually experienced life unrestrained by the horrid slave community in which he came from. It truly is amazing how much Douglass went through in order to experience life outside of his own community.
John did not want to die with the guilt of him not confessing, “ I cannot mount the gibbet like a saint. It is a fraud!” ( Act 4, Proctor).

John Proctor was too confident in himself and he was not looking at the end results of everything.
George does not care about Lennie’s situation and he trust in him as Lennie trust in George. In chapter four, the George says, “A guy needs somebody-to be near him” shows that people need other people to be strong and take better decisions. No matter who is that person and how smart is he or she. George does not care about who Lennie is and he considered Lennie his friend, showing that intelligence is not everything. All Lennie actions show his innocence.
I know why I did it, the dumb son bitch didn’t listen to me, stay away from that girl I said, she is dangerous I said. But yet he still did it. Goddamn, but I’m sure he didn’t mean no harm. Like I said, he weren’t a bad fella. He was just so strong.
Knowledge is Power Harriet Beecher Stowe understand and shows the enlightenment this book offers. She understand that slaves have been faithful for many years even though under terrible conditions. The slave owner taught the slave George Harris how to read, but soon the knowledge overcame the suppression. The knowledge overtime that once locked their minds down to slavery is also given George’s mind bail to be free. The knowledge to know that someone can be equal, but not treated equally can be discouraging to most.
The desire of being free resembled the awful conditions that some of them had. Nevertheless, numbers of slaves claimed that they would want to go back in time and visit their owners since they treated them well enough.

He breaks free of the chains of slavery and joins the abolitionist movement as an eloquent speaker and writer. He closes his narrative stating, “I have been engaged in pleading the case of my brethren – with what success, and which what devotion, I leave those acquainted with my labors to decide.” Through reading his text, there is no doubt towards lack of devotion and historically, his success is prominent.

This shows that Atticus is not afraid to die for something he knows is right if it benefits to everyone and he knows it takes courage to do Atticus was looked up to by
Narratives of the life of Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass Narratives of the life of Frederick Douglass is a auto biography written by Frederick Douglass, to give you the true and most vivid mental images of what it really was to be a slave.

Frederick Douglass was one of the few super intelligent and fearless former slaves who could use his surroundings to not only help himself but also to later on help the ones still in bondage. Its really messed up how slaves and colored people
