Problem
Answer the following questions as they relate to the movie you watched:
1. How does Frederick Douglass learn to read? Why does literacy become so important to him?
2. How do slave narratives recast the American ideal of the "self-made man" to fit African Americans? How does Frederick Douglass, for example, build on and transform the legacy of Benjamin Franklin?
3. How do slave narratives draw on the seventeenth-century tradition of captivity narratives?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
