When Doglass first meets his new mistress, he is immediately charmed by her beauty and grace. She seems like a kind and loving person, and he can tell that she will be a great friend and companion. He is excited to get to know her better and to learn all about her.
His new mistress is very stern and demanding.
What did Douglass see in his new mistress face when he arrived in Baltimore?
I was surprised and delighted to see the kind face of my new mistress, Sophia Auld. She was everything I had hoped for in a new owner and I immediately felt comfortable in her presence. She radiated warmth and compassion, and I knew that I had found a true friend in her. I am grateful to have been given the chance to serve her and to know her.
I was really struck by how kind Mrs. Auld was to Douglass. He was clearly not used to kind masters, and he was really impressed with her. It seemed like she had a good heart.
In what way did Frederick’s new mistress change
Frederick’s new mistress used to be kind, but she turned demonic and cruel. This change in her behavior towards him made him feel unwelcome and uncomfortable in her presence.
Mrs. Sophia Auld was a kind and caring person, unlike any other white person that Douglass had ever met. She had never owned a slave, and she was a hard worker. Prior to her marriage, she was an industrious weaver.
What did the mistress teach Douglass?
When Douglass first comes to live with the Aulds, Mrs Auld begins to teach him the alphabet and some small words. However, her husband soon realizes what she is doing and forbids her from continuing. He believes that if Douglass is able to read and write, he will be able to think for himself and become less obedient.
It’s only been a few hours since I arrived in New York, and I already feel like I’m in a completely different world. I feel like I’ve escaped from a den of hungry lions, and I’m so grateful to be safe. But even though I’m safe, I still feel very insecure and lonely. I hope that feeling goes away soon so I can enjoy my time here.
How did Sophia Auld help Douglass?
The topic is discussing how Frederick Douglass learned to read and write despite the fact that it was illegal to teach slaves at the time. Sophia Auld taught him the alphabet, but her husband forbade her from giving him any more lessons. Douglass continued to learn on his own, and even taught others to read and write while he was still a slave. This just goes to show that despite the obstacles, Douglass was determined to learn and better himself.
This is a powerful lesson that Mrs. Auld learns, and one that Douglass himself would come to realize as well. Education and slavery are indeed incompatible, and Mrs. Auld’s newfound knowledge about the realities of slavery only serve to make her more aware of the cruelty and injustice of it all. Hopefully, this lesson will stick with Douglass and help him to continue his struggle for freedom.
What was Douglass impression of New Bedford
It’s amazing how much wealth and refinement exists in this town, compared to the slaveholding part of Maryland that I’m used to. The churches are beautiful, the homes are well-kept, and the gardens are meticulously cultivated. It’s clear that the people here have a lot of money and good taste.
Slave owning is a terrible thing for both the enslaved and the enslaver. As seen in abolitionist literature, it destroys relationships and dehumanizes both the enslaved and the enslaver. This is demonstrated in Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, when Douglass’ mistress is slowly corrupted by the experience of owning him. She changes from a kind and caring woman, to a cruel and jealous tyrant. This transformation highlights the destructive nature of slavery, and how it poisons everyone it touches.
Why did Mrs Auld stop teaching Frederick Douglass?
This is an important moment in Douglass’s journey because it’s the first time he realized the true power of education. Up until this point, he had only experienced the benefits of reading and learning, but now he realized that education could also be used as a tool for emancipation. This was a pivotal moment in his journey because it made him realize that knowledge is power and that he could use his education to fight for his freedom.
Master Anthony sent Douglass to work with Hugh Auld in Baltimore to serve as a care taker of his toddler son, Thomas. This was a kind act by Master Anthony, as Douglass was able to gain valuable experience in childcare while also being able to earn some money. Hugh Auld was also a good teacher and helped Douglass to learn how to read and write.
