On the Relationship Between Education and Freedom in "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass"

In this blog post I will be speaking on, as the title suggests, the relationship between education and freedom in "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass". I could probably just copy and paste my blog post from last week, as it's basically on the same subject, but because of this little inconvenience known as "plagiarism rules", I'll go ahead and write a new essay.
So, what is the relationship between education and freedom in "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass"? Well, you see, the book is set in the time of slavery, and back then, being educated gave slaves powerful tools to escape slavery, as well as a strong understanding of why they should do so. For this reason, as well as the reason that white people didn't want to see evidence that black people could be equal to them, slaves were often barred from education. As we can clearly see in Douglass's case, when slaves did manage to become educated, they were suddenly empowered both in their understanding of what rights they deserved and in their ability to fight for those rights. On the opposite side of the coin, slaves who never received an education had lots fewer tools to escape bondage, and perhaps also didn't really ever even think to do so. So, how did education and freedom tie in to eachother in the book. Well, in the slaves' case, the former was a path that drastically increased their odds of reaching the latter. As the saying goes, "Knowledge is power."
