Mr. Covey was the biggest slave breaker in the area. This was Douglass’ first time being a field hand. He made mistakes and was severely punished. After the first 6 months, he walked to his actual slave master and stated everything that had happened. He had to face Covey again and stay there until he was released. Soon after Covey comes at him and Douglass ends up beating him up and taking back his authority.
This lit a very big spark in Douglass and gave him a reason to fight for his freedom again. He wanted to get out and get what he originally wanted. People did not want to get in his way since he was only a 16 year old fresh field hand that could easily take a grown man that wasn’t nearly as strong as him. He was soon a force to be reckoned with.

*Part Two*
Some masters where better then others, some worse, some kind, some mean. Well once Douglass moved for a second or third time, he found a very nice mistress. She was kind-hearted and helpful. She started to teach him the alphabet and to read. This was until her husband found out what was happening and told her that she could no longer teach him at all. The reason behind this was because he thought if you gave him a little bit he would run with it and use it to his advantage. Douglass thought nothing of it at first, but then as he began to think he realized that he should try and learn as much as he could. On his errands out on the town he would talk to the other white children and learn from them. Sometimes to get more help he would bring extra bread from the house to get them a reward for his knowledge.

Slaves were not supposed to know their birthday. In most cases, they didn’t care, but when they started asking and looking for answers they could not be found. The best explanation for this was because they did not want them knowing their history or anything that they might find to help them. Usually slaves talked and tried to learn as much as they could about their past from people who had been around them. When the master or father of the children were around, they treated the kids and everyone unfairly. The master’s wife had little to say, either because she didn’t know or didn’t really want to know what the real thing was. The singing of slaves was a representation of horror because they did not like what they were going through. They were often punished for not working hard enough or any little thing that they might have done wrong. They sang these songs and it was an unspoken thing among slaves, because most white people thought that they were singing songs of joy and happiness. The overseer Gore justified the murder of Demby as the protection of innocent people. He claimed that he was a threat and needed to be taken care of before anything bad could happen to anyone else.

Night Final Essay:
“Night”, what does that mean exactly. Could it be the long torturous nights spent in the concentration camps? Or maybe it was the first night? The long, tiring days, that lead to shorter and shorter nights of sleeplessness. Ellie Wiesel tells his life as a young Jewish boy in the Nazi death camps. A hard life ahead of him he knew not what to think. Being sent to Auschwitz with an unknowing future, he focused on his relationship with God and what he wanted to do with his life, he soon began to think differently. The concentration camps put a strain on every relationship in his life. Losing his mother and sister the first night, and being in the same place with his father as his father began to lose hope. He didn’t know what to do or what to think.
Coming from his hometown, he had met a lowlife person who had started to talked to Ellie and teach him some of his own religious ways. His father disapproved of these encounters, but Ellie continued. Tensions got higher as things went on in the world. Soon after the government had got touchy and made all Jews go to the ghettos. Being from a higher class family, Ellie had gotten to be in the nicer more powerful ghetto. He wasn’t shipped to a camp until towards the end. He had seen his father under great stress. This did not help their relationship much until they got to the camp and Ellie had to help his father stay well so that he wouldn’t be sent out. He needed him there even after all the things that had happened. His father began to age and lose his youthfulness. This was a sign of weakness which was not a good thing in the camps. Ellie did not want to lose the biggest part of his life. Since he had already lost touch with his religion, so he did not want to lose what he had left. He couldn’t decide what needed to be done.
He needed to grow up. This was the challenge. He needed to get back in touch with his inner self and get back to where he was. He did not know what he used to know. He started looking at the little things, like how his health had kept him where he was at. He had been working hard and not getting much to eat. He needed to stay well so that he wouldn’t be sent to the creamatorium and be killed. That was the everlasting thing. Make it through the war. Make it through the mess and the had times. This was the only way. Make it home safe.
