Passage Chapter: 11Page: 86 I was afraid to speak to any one for fear of speaking to the wrong one, and thereby falling into the hands of money-loving kidnappers, whose business it was to lie in wait for the panting fugitive, as the ferocious beasts of the forest [10] [11] lie in wait for their prey. The motto which I adopted when I started from slavery was this— “Trust no man!” I saw in every white man an enemy, and in almost every colored man cause for distrust [1]. It was a most painful situation; and, to understand it, one must needs experience it, or imagine himself in similar circumstances. Let him be a fugitive slave in a strange land—a land given up to be the hunting-ground for slaveholders— [5] whose inhabitants are legalized kidnappers—where he is every moment subjected to the terrible liability of being seized upon by his fellowmen, as the hideous crocodile seizes upon his prey! [9] —I say, let him place himself in my situation— without home or friends—without money or credit— [2] wanting shelter, and no one to give it— wanting bread, and no money to buy it,— [3] and at the same time let him feel that he is pursued by merciless men-hunters, and in total darkness as to what to do, where to go, or where to stay,—perfectly helpless both as to the means of defense and means of escape, [7] —in the midst of plenty, yet suffering the terrible gnawings of hunger,—in the midst of houses, yet having no home,— [4] among fellow-men, yet feeling as if in the midst of wild beasts, whose greediness to swallow up the trembling and half-famished fugitive is only equaled by that with which the monsters of the deep swallow up the helpless fish [8] upon which they subsist,—I say, let him be placed in this most trying situation,—the situation in which I was placed,— [6] then, and not till then, will he fully appreciate the hardships of, and know how to sympathize with, the toil-worn and whip-scarred fugitive slave.[10[11[1][5][9] [2] [3] [7][4] [8] [6]

Annotation 1 This section of the passage contains atypical, inverted syntax. By wording his ideas in this way, Douglass reveals the extent of his distrust for every man by inverting the sentence so that is hatred is first and foremost within the clauses of the sentence.inverted syntax Return to passage “I saw in every white man an enemy…”

Annotation 2 Douglass uses parallelism to emphasize the mistreatment of slaves and their lack of worldly needs. By repeating these familiar ideas that many are comfortable with in similar sentence structure, it illustrates the slave’s apparent lack of those resources.parallelism Return to passage “—without home or friends—without money or credit”

Annotation 3 Return to passage wanting shelter, and no one to give it—wanting bread, and no money to buy it Douglass utilizes antithesis as a sentence structure/scheme in parallel structure in order to create a clear relationship between the lack of necessary resources. Douglass does this through joining them together and emphasizing that there is no help and no aid from others.antithesis

Annotation 4 Douglass uses parenthesis here to break up the sentence, thus adding pauses and emphasis to imagery of the “terrible gnawings” between pauses.parenthesis Return to passage …means of escape,—in the midst of plenty, yet suffering the terrible gnawings of hunger,—in the midst of houses, yet having no home,

Annotation 5 In this Douglass uses anadiplosis to emphasize the word “land” and to place permanence on the effect of the loss of a land of freedom and livelihood.anadiplosis Return to passage land—a land given up to be the hunting-ground for slaveholders—

Annotation 6 Douglass uses anadiplosis to emphasize his present situation; by repeating the word between clauses, Douglass places emphasis on the severity of his current state of being. Return to passage I say, let him be placed in this most trying situation,—the situation in which I was placed

Annotation 7 Douglass uses repetition of “means” here in order to create a visualization of the effort necessary to protect oneself and find a way to escape from his situation; this repetition emphasizes the true means needed to live on. Return to passage perfectly helpless both as to the means of defence and means of escape

Annotation 8 Douglass uses a metaphor here in order to compare his captors to monsters and himself to helpless fish; this comparison helps the reader see just how helpless Douglass has become as a slave, thus better displaying the severity of his situation.metaphor Return to passage monsters of the deep swallow up the helpless fish

Annotation 9 Metaphor is used here to describe the slave- catcher taking a slave to a “hideous crocodile” seizing his prey in order to get across Douglass’ severe apprehension for the system of slavery. Return to passage the hideous crocodile seizes upon his prey

Annotation 10 AlliterationAlliteration of the “f” sound changes the rhythm of the sentence, creating an emphasis upon the wild nature of said beasts. Return to passage as the ferocious beasts of the forest

Annotation 11 The term “beasts” is a metaphor, comparing slave bounty hunters to animals. This helps illustrate the animalistic and ferocious behavior of the slave-catchers. Return to passage as the ferocious beasts of the forest

Inverted Sentence Structure Noun : any sentence in which the normal word order is reversed, with the verb coming before the subject or the complete subject and predicate coming after another clause Return to passage

Parallelism Return to passage The repetition of a syntactic construction in successive sentences for rhetorical effect

Paranthesis Return to passage A separated part of a sentence created by ellipses or dashes used to digress on a side note.

Antithesis Return to passage An antithesis is used when the writer employs two sentences of contrasting meanings in close proximity to one another.

Anadiplosis Return to passage A syntax technique where a word or phrase at the end of a sentence or phrase is repeated at the beginning of the next sentence or phrase

Metaphor A figurative language technique which compares two or more unlike things in order to make a point Return to passage

Alliteration Repeating a sound from the beginning of a word often within a sentence Return to passage
