creative minds

I thought the 204 class came up with some really deep questions about the Narrative. We talked a bit about LaChandria's question - what would have happened if Mrs. Auld had continued to teach Douglass? - and about Thelma's question - why does slavery exist? We also talked about what motivated Douglass, what kept him going, whether he got to a place where he didn't feel that despair he describes...the pain of knowledge. Would be amazing to have a whole course just on Douglass ... he wrote and acted at such a crucial time, and he left so much for us to read and ponder.
