This critical is valid because tough moments can be enlightening. Two historical text books that are related to this critical lens are “Narrative of Frederick Douglass” by himself and “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe. These two stories exposed that how difficult time can aware of the unpleasant realities around us and important which we do not think about the happy moment.

In contrast, life in the south during 1800s was extremely hard in every circumstance of slaves. Therefore that obstacle had open many of them eyes to look forward for better life.
