Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

I finished reading and exercises earlier than usual, so I tried the third extract. That was "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" by Frederick Douglass. It was really hard for me to keep reading because this depicts how the author had been treated as a slave. Along with "Uncle Tom's Cabin", this narrative was one of the most influential pieces of literature to fuel the abolitionist movement of the early 19th Century in the United States. The teacher said children in U.S. read this story in a class.
Recently I have to research the history of African American, so it was lucky for me to know it. Perfect timing it was.
