    There are many similarities, yet also many differences. Some similarities include that both Jacobs and Douglass worked hard to escape to freedom and were successful. But, a difference would include the way they thought of their freedom. Jacobs thought that the North imitated the customs of slavery, being that colored people had the right to purchase a ticket, yet had to ride in the filthiest sections of the train. Though in the South, they were able to ride in the train cars behind the whites without having the “privilege” of paying. Yet, Douglass didn’t complain about the train cars, because he was much too nervous about being captured, so they have different viewpoints of the North when they first arrive. Another difference would be that Jacobs had children before she escaped and she had to leave them behind, but Douglass had no children to leave behind and was able to cut his ties much more freely. Lastly, another similarities is they both faced the dangers of being captured and sent back to their owners. In conclusion, both Jacobs and Douglass had alike yet disparate experiences with slavery and pathways to…

    Many experiences were different for blacks during slavery than blacks in the Jim Crow south, but the one thing ties them all together is their curiosity that led them to their passion to improve themselves by reading and writing. From slavery to Jim Crow Laws, white southerners feared that the education of blacks would give them the power to resist and threaten the whites’ authority. Although Richard Wright in the story, Black Boy and Frederick Douglass ,in the story Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass grew up in very different time periods and have very different personalities, they do have one thing in common; their passion to learn how to read and write.

    One story has a woman’s point of view and the other a man, both wanting the same desire “freedom”. They both were kept as slaves from their mistress and did not have the opportunity to finish school. If even given the chance for someone to teach them they were selfish enough to discontinue Margaret and Douglass teaching lessons. The narrator from “What’s Your Name Girl?” focuses on Margaret, she did not seem to be as motivated to have liberty. She always had conflicts with Mrs. Cullinan, Margaret learned to release her anger by writing about her mistress in her journal. For the other narrator from “Learning to Read and Write” he focused more on his liberty, did everything possible to escape and be free from his mistress. “Douglass learns how to read and write and escapes to the North.” Every human deserves freedom, learning how to read and write at its finest no matter the age, gender, race or…
