Chapter 1 reaction

I felt that this whole 1st chapter was about the hardships that Fredrick Douglas had to go through as a slave. This story was giving me the thought the he wasn't the happiest guy in the world. Douglas didn't know what his own birthday was, he didn't know his mother very well because she died when he was just a young boy, and his dad was his master so he felt like he didn't really have much of a family. Imagine your dad ruling over you, making you work in his fields, sleep in a cramped hut, and eat as little food as possible. I wouldn't think i had a family either. Mr.J i don't like that you assigned homework on homecoming weekend because i had to work until 9 P.M. Sunday so i didn't get done with reading until like 1 in the morning. I am sure that I'm not the only one that finished late so please, next time, don't give homework on homecoming weekend. Especially when you say you don't want us reading any of this late at night. I don;t like this new way of journal entries because when we hand wrote it you could write about anything and no one would read it but now you really have to think about what you go off on when you get off subject. The way we do it right now could cause a lot of drama if someone decides to write about someone in this class
