Fredrick Douglass's experience with religion and how it may affect how he wrote this piece.
Prejudice in the churches during the 19th century.
White slave owners use of religion to make up for their maltreatment of slaves.
Idea of heaven and how slaves and slave owners felt about it. White people seem to believe that slaves will not go to heaven during this time period, and do not want slaves in heaven.
Prejudice that white men must do the thinking while slaves must do the field work. I could research how in which white slave owners would justify the idea that they had it harder of than slaves, do to all of the thinking they had to do.
I think over time these subjects could be used in some combination to create my thesis statement for my essay.
You did a great job on your presentation! I learned a lot about Douglass from your presentation, it was really interesting. When you were presenting it also looked like you really knew what you were talking about! Which is really good because it sounded like you knew where you wanted your paper to go and had good ideas for your research paper. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteI thought you did a good job for being the 1st person to present your thoughts on the final paper. You were very nervous and it was obvious, but you did a great job anyways. I like how you went old school and did your presentation on the white board. Unique!
