Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave Chapter 1 quote 1: “I had therefore been, until now, out of the way of bloody scenes that often occurred on the plantation.” (Douglass, page 21) The basic standpoint on this quote is that he is explaining how he tries to avoid all confrontation on the plantation as much as possible, so he will not become a part of it. For example, he talks about how stayed on the opposite side of the plantation to avoid that kind of stuff. When he first saw it, it was all new to him so he was petrified. Another example is how in shock he was when he saw his master whipping his aunt. Anyone could tell by the way he spoke that that is a sight he wishes he could take back.
This place, this house doesn’t hold good memories for me. Constant order and ruling, my father governing every dimension of my life, until it’s the way he sees fit.

Be psychologically free enough and strong enough to live independently, leaving society and entering society on no one’s terms but your own". This quote is another example which says you don't have to be physically strong, but mentally strong.
The prisoners are forced to run 42 miles in one night during a blizzard. Those unable to keep up are shot. The refugees stop in a small village where Eliezer and his father keep each other awake to avoid freezing to death. Rabbi Eliahu enters a small shack occupied by Eliezer, looking for his son.

They do not want the bosses son, Curly, to get angry. They simply can't afford to lose their job during a depression. Steinbeck uses many different techniques to present Curley’s wife such as colour imagery, appearance, metaphors and similes in the early stages of the novel. The effect of these techniques is that the reader creates a mental image of Curley’s wife even before she even enters the novel. Steinbeck initially presents Curley’s wife in a negative manner.
