Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass discussion

In the book "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" by Frederick Douglass you experience a very intense memoir about Frederick's life and who he came to be through slavery. Starting the book with Frederick as a child but being in slavery young made him mature very quickly, and also had to act it also. Some conflicts Frederick had to deal with was getting beaten and even seeing his Aunt Hester get severely beaten, which brought out his mental initiation of the horrors of being a slave. "The white children could tell their ages. I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege.".From that example you get to see his point of view of being a child slave and having to deal with always being an outcast from "normal" kids. The older Frederick got he knew he didn't belong in a place like this. He had to get out and become a free man to be as equal as everyone else. The Fact that Frederick set out to improve himself and get an education, knowing that he has to outwit his masters to do so. By him doing that it caused him to be severely punished multiple times, but later paid off because he became a freed man. "Learning would spoil the best nigger in the world. Now," said he, "if you teach that nigger how to read, there would be no keeping him. It would forever unfit him to be a slave. ". These points teach you that you should never give up even if your dream sounds hopeless. I could never imaging growing up being a slave and having the guts to escape from that, it takes a lot of courage and guts to do so. Do you have a character that never gives up?
