The Narrative and The Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass

While reading the novel, don't forget to do these three things:
1. Create a Character List
2. Create a Special Terms List
3. Formulate a summary for each chapter (will be doing this in class)

If I am missing anyone, let me know.

Special Terms List

2. Negro Spirituals - songs that the slaves sung as they would travel to the Great House Farm; Douglass describes these songs as sad.
3. Baltimore, Maryland - at the age of seven or eight Frederick leaves the Great House Farm to be a servant in the Auld Family's home.
4. The Columbian Orator - the book that Douglass used to help teach himself how to read.
