TYPE YOUR HOMEWORK ABOUT FREDERICK DOUGLASS; MAKE SURE YOUR WRITING INCLUDES THE TRANSITION WORDS

Frederick Douglass was dehumanized by his master, however he was still confident to get his humanity back because he had dignity and hope. He didn't have access to education due to the fact he was slave, therefore he was unable to write correctly, and learn some of the basic stuffs. Frederick was being tortured by Convey, for instance: he abused,and whipped him at several times. Consequently, Frederick wanted to escape and run away from this miserable life, to seek a better life in the North. Above all, his concern was that if his master knew about the fact he wanted to escape, he was going to be in serious trouble.

The story is about a young boy named Derrell Mercer who is moving to California. His best friend Malik Stone just can't believe that his friend Derrell is moving in another town, because they have been close for so many years. Derrell would leave the neighborhood he had ever known in his fisteen years in just a few hours, so he took his last walk with his best friend.
