Hook, Housekeeping & Homework- LATE START Tuesday Discuss the quotes below with a shoulder partner. What do they mean in the context to Chapter 7? Identify the 3 metaphors. What is being compared to what? What feeling do these comparative images create? “Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her [Mrs. Auld] of these heavenly qualities. Under its influence, the tender heart became stone, and the lamblike disposition gave way to one of tiger-like fierceness.” “The first step had been taken. Mistress, in teaching me the alphabet, had given me the inch, and no precaution could prevent me from taking the ell.”

Essential Questions What can I learn from another’s experiences? How can the circumstances of my life and what I’m surrounded by drive me forward or hold me back?

Yesterday's Responses Douglass’ observation that “it is almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country” is situational irony because situation irony is a contrast between what happens and what is expected. This statement is ironic because the Christian religion is stereotypically supportive of everyone’s equality. However, the slaves are not treated with equality in relation to amount of education. This irony is used because it is the most subtle of the three types of sarcasm, and also because it expresses hypocrisy and corruption in a Christian environment. Irony is branched off into 3 different parts: verbal, dramatic, and situational. The type of irony used in the statement “Is it almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country.” is situational. Situational irony is the contrast between what happened and what was expected. When Douglass refers to a Christian country it is expected of them to forgive but he says it is an unpardonable (unforgivable) offence to teach slaves to read. This irony being used here is that a Christian country should be forgiving but teaching a slave to read is unforgivable. He uses irony in this statement to show the hypocrisy of the “Christian country” by not forgiving everyone. Slaves were further degraded by society by not being given the privilege to learn to read. The irony that Douglass uses is used to explain the unfairness of slavery.

Yesterday's Responses The implicit irony of slaves being unable to read in a Christian country is that it goes against Christian beliefs. Irony is opposition to what is expected. In this case, it is situational irony because as a Christian it is believed that all children of God should have the same rights, but they have done what is unexpected and looked past the rights of a black human. They used situational irony because in this situation you would expect Christians to give the right to read to a child of God, but they do not view them as a child of God. The irony implicit in Douglass’ observation that “it almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country” is that the predominate basis for Christianity is that you treat others as you’d want to be treated, but the way that these “Christians” are treating the slaves is not so. This type of irony is situational, meaning what happens and what is expected to happen are two different things. It is expected that Christians would treat the slaves fairly and Christian-like, but they treat them unfairly and not nicely. The white people kept their slaves ignorant and it was considered bad to teach their slaves, whereas other whites were not ignorant and learning was considered good. It was used in this story to give a voice to the fact that even though they called themselves Christians they didn’t act as such. This irony showed in the story, by showing that white people acted as they were not expected to.

Make sure you identify the feelings, give examples (consider “specific” words/phrases) that reveal these feelings, and explain what he is trying to reveal to the reader about slavery.

Instruct & Obtain I Do Key Passage 1 Prompt 1 Douglass uses words that imply multiple meanings and provide contrasts to show the confusion and irony of slavery. In the beginning of the excerpt, he says that when he told the young white boys about how he wished to be as free as they would be, it “trouble[ed]” them. Douglass is empathizing that slavery can cause more than one kind of “trouble”: emotional or physical pain, frustration, or even anxiety. The young boys may have been confused because they, themselves, were not slaves, and they also may have felt sad for Douglass’ situation. This suggests, however, that the boys did not feel all that strongly about slavery; they were not “angered” by it, even if they were uncomfortable about Douglass being a slave. Douglas also uses contrasting words when he describes the master’s response in the book The Columbian Orator. His response was as “desired” but also “unexpected.” He did not expect the slave to be freed, which is why the voluntary emancipation surprised him. As much as Douglass desires for his master to acknowledge the arguments of a former slave in his text against slavery, he does not expect it. Through Douglass’ words, the reader sees the confusions brought about by slavery often had unexpected results.
