Frederick Douglass Narrative CHAPTER 1 HOMEWORK

IREEC- The format of a well-constructed body paragraph
Indent the first line of your response.
Restate the question—what are you trying to argue in your response?
Example-provide an example from the text that supports your argument. This will be a quote from the text.
Explain your quote—how does it support your argument? (the point you’re trying to make)
***(THEN REPEAT THE LAST TWO STEPS: PROVIDE ANOTHER EXAMPLE WITH ANOTHER EXPLANATION)
Conclude your paragraph, revisiting your main idea.

Answer the following question in IREEC format: In the first chapter, Frederick Douglass discusses some pretty heavy themes: loss of identity, how slavery works to break apart the family unit, and “the bloody scenes” of planation life. Who (audience) do you think he is trying to inform of these themes and what is his purpose?
