Douglass blog for Nov 18

For your 400-word blog on Douglass, you have a few options. You might compare the slave drivers he describes. How do they differ? Why would Douglass show this range of slave drivers? How does Douglass use "beast" and other animal terms to articulate his argument against slavery? Can you put this into conversation with Carpentier's uses of animal imagery? How does Douglass deploy geography, what we might call "social geography," in his writing to analyze slavery in the USA? Please post before class on Monday.
