    The one thing I remember most when I think about our US history is a hateful time period. That time period is when the US allowed Americans to own African Americans. Mostly know as slavery. Frederick Douglass in his book titled “Narrative Of Frederick Douglass”(1845) uses three good appeals by explaining how he reached his goals of proving that slavery was a very hard time for him best through emotion and factual appeals to explain how slavery was back in the day and how he gained his freedom and moved to New York. One of the appeals that got me most was when he says “slaves were like farm equipment.”…

    Within the text “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave” written in 1845, is the autobiographical account of Fredrick Douglas’s life as a slave which also gives insight into how the 1845th African American slave was marginalized at the time.

    Erased Lynching Analysis

    Erased Lynching by Ken Gonzales-Day presents lynching photographs, but removes the victim and the rope from the image summoning viewers to complete the picture in our imagination. This is meant to “redirect the viewer’s attention away from the lifeless body of the lynch victim and allow viewers to see the crowd, the mechanism of the spectacle.” The meaning and the power of each image resides not in what’s visible, but in what’s not: He seeks to change the usual focus of lynching (the victim) to that of the perpetrators and environment surrounding the event. It could be argued that an unintended side-effect seems to be erasing the victim's suffering. However, his work also reminds us of the power of time to erase history, in part because it…

    Describe two (2) examples of how either black slaves or white abolitionists used literature or the visual arts as a form of protest against slavery. Compare this to a modern example of art used for social protest. The two examples of protest against slavery I reviewed are a visual from Thomas Wedgwood and a literature from William Blake. Thomas Wedgwood was a member of the Society for the Abolition of Slavery and he suggested that an emblem on the title page of a pamphlet entitled 'An address to the People of Great Britain on the propriety of abstaining from West India sugar and rum' would heighten its impact.…

    Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds In a world filled with alternative facts, where individuals are often force fed (sometimes false) information, Elizabeth Kolbert wrote “Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds” as a culmination of her research on the relation between strong feelings and deep understanding about issues. Her article articulates, and confirms, her belief that opinions are often formed with little to no factual backing, especially in today’s society, which proves to be a problem in a society filled with political agendas. Kolbert’s argument follows a convenient structure that moves from argument to argument, building on and drawing from previous arguments to further main idea. She explains her main ideas, chronologically as follows:…

    Frederick Douglass, an escaped slave, was one of the most influential African American leaders in the 1800’s. On July 5, 1852, he gave a speech commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence at Rochester’s Corinthian Hall. In this speech, Douglass uses many strategies to build up his argument that not only was slavery a discrimination to different races, but a complete contradiction of the United States Constitution. Using the three techniques of persuasion and variations of rhetorical devices, he was able to convince the audience that slavery is cruel and inequitable.…
