the girls to perform witchcraft in the woods, along with doing it herself. She, without evidence was blamed for nearly everything. When Tituba was blamed, they beat her with a whip yelling “You will confess yourself or I will take you out and whip you to your death!”(Miller 1119). After continuously being beaten with a whip, she admitted her friendship with the devil and asked for forgiveness claiming she needed help in being pulled away from it. Due to revealing that she worshiped the devil,…
effect, he places “ministers” next to “men-stealers”, “missionaries” with “women-whippers”, and “church members” with “cradle plunderers.” Douglass uses logic to denunciate the religion of the slaveholders. He condemns the whip of the slaveholder and he condemns the holder of the whip. He condemns the Church of his masters and he condemns the ministers of that church. The same emotions displayed by Douglass are then embraced by the reader as the reader begins to relate with Douglass; the…
death brings the bleak doom to Tom. Emancipation fails because of his deep but narrow ideas. Simon Legree is Tom's final earthly master, a remorselessly evil, depraved man who represents slavery at its worst extreme. He overworks slaves under the whips of overseers…
express this, he conveys the tone with the rhetorical device called Pathos (an appeal to provoke an emotional response). “The louder she screamed, the harder he whipped; and where the blood ran fastest, there he whipped longest. He would whip her to make her scream, and whip her to make her hush; and not until overcome by fatigue, would he cease to swing the blood-clotted cowskin.” (4) The strong use of imagery vividly shows the horrors Douglass faced, and what many other slaves went through as…

Beginning I suppose that an ordinary autobiography would began with a date of birth. Regretfully, I do not know of the time which I was born. I, like many other slaves, was not afforded the privilege of such knowledge. Not because our masters did not want to tell us, I’m pretty sure that they were not aware of it either, no, if anything, having the knowledge of when their slaves were born was most likely considered blasphemy to them, but I digress. I was born in Talbot County, Maryland, and my…
Some people believe that slavery was morally acceptable because slaves had the necessities of an average lifestyle: clothes to wear, food to eat, and a place to live.
