Question

In the excerpt from Narrative of the life of Frederic Douglass, how does Mr. Auld's decision to forbid his wife to teach Douglass to read change Douglass's viewpoint about his enslavement? Use Evidence from the text to support your response. Your response should be at least one complete Paragraph.

Answer 1

Mr. Auld forbade his wife to continue to teach Douglass how to read and write.

Auld catches her teaching Douglass his ABCs, he gives her a lesson. Teaching a slave to read isn't just a bad idea, it's against the law. If you teach a slave to read, he tells her, he won't be satisfied with being a slave any more, and then he'll be no good to anyone
