Youba Diakite | 13 comments Gnenerally Douglass story exposed the world how his humanity was disempowered as a slave in the Southern of United States. Therefore, he was voiceless who did not have any right to speech or even right to choose. Furthermore, he struggled on his own to learn independently in the street of Baltimore. For instance, After he was denied by his master in Baltimore to cease learning at home with his wife. Ultimately Douglass as a young boy started hang out secretly to learn from some white children in the street of Baltimore. Consequently the education that he gained from learning how to read and write had improved Douglass understanding more through humanity. Thus it showed him the way of escaping from slavery chain. Although Douglass was a slave who was denied with some unalienable rights of humanity however, he was the first slave in U.S history who learned how to read and write.

YOu did a FABULOUS job with these transitional words - I'm really impressed, and they make your writing sound so academic and sophisticated! Hurrah!

Some things you want to watch for in your next writing task - missing & misspelled words. There are a few places where I see words or letters/endings missing, and I think if you reread what you wrote, you might notice them, too. For instance:

" Generally Douglass' story exposed TO the world how his humanity was disempowerED as a slave..."

"Therefore, he was VOICELESS, HE did not have any right TO speech or even THE right to choose."

" Ultimately Douglass as a young boy started TO hang out secretly to learn..."

just reading your writing once more before posting/handing it in will make sure it is even more polished and ready to be read!
