My Bondage and My Freedom

The book I am reading in class is called "My Bondage and My Freedom" by Frederick Douglass. It is a narrative of his life in which he deals with the hardships of slavery, and the desire to gain freedom. The master's wife had begun to teach him to read and write but her husband became upset with her because he said that a slave that can read and write will be of no use to them because he will find a way to escape because he know he has a chance to be free. After this, the wife begins to act more cruelly to Fredrick than ever before. This made him understand that there was no justified reason for him to be a slave to another person. People are equally the same and one should have no advantage over another. It is a natural feeling for humans to care for one another, not act cruelly to each other.
