In “The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave” by Frederick Douglass. Explain how Frederick Douglass contradicts this widely held belief. For example, Douglass talks in his narrative about a slave who is asked by a stranger if he has a good master. The slave is somewhat vague, states that his master doesn’t give him enough to eat sometimes, etc. What the slave doesn’t know is that the man who asks him the question is actually his master, who promptly sells the slave as a punishment for speaking negatively about him.
