Week 6 Assignment – Due Apr 21
Read the excerpts from Frederick Douglass’ Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (in For the Record on pages 285-287) and from Harriet Jacobs’ Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (in For the Record on pages 287-290). In what ways were Douglass’ and Jacobs’ descriptions and experiences of slavery similar? In what ways were they different?
Responses should be at least 150 words minimum. Grammar/mechanics matter. Anytime you quote or paraphrase closely, make sure to include an in-text citation. Make sure to verify that you uploaded the correct assignment and that your file was properly uploaded. Instructors are not responsible for incorrect files or files that failed to upload. Failure to load proper files or files that won’t open properly will receive a zero grade. Files should be uniquely your own. If a file looks like another student’s file, a zero grade will be given to both files. It is difficult to work with and analyze primary sources without their surrounding historical context. Students who do well on these assignments tend to have read the corresponding chapter in America before completion of a weekly assignment.
