My favorite excert from "The Narrative of Frederick Douglass" is ch. 10 (p.393.) In this excert Frederick gets into an altercation with his master Mr. Covey. This is my favorite excert of the book, because this is the first time Frederick uses action verbs to effectively show the significance of the altercation. This is also my favorite because Frederick's true personality and character begins to show, because the altercation allows him to gain confidence, courage, his manhood, and the determination to become free. Douglass's tone also begins to shift, he becomes more demanding and non-hesitant about being free. Frederick also nolonger fears slavery but he see's it as shaping and molding his character. Frederick feels he is a slave but he is not a slave in spirit. This excert shows Frederick's new motivation to become free and his new- found perspective about slavery.
