Homework for Nov 19: "How i Learned to Read and Write" Frederick Douglass

The way that Douglass got education is the very different but also same is some way. The was that Douglass learn was buy a kind willing lady named Mrs. Auld, now it pretty much mandatory to go to school and teachers are getting paid. when you first start learning to read and write the first think that I learned was my A,B,C's and that was the same way that Mrs.Auld. When you start learning the alphabet you probably around around the age of 5 or 6 but Frederick was a older male determined to get a education. The meaning of education to Frederick is completely different from me. Frederick wanted to learn because he felt that he could get freedom from it. I am learning because I want to be more successful in life and do big things. It took Douglass seven years to be able to read and write very well. I don't think it took me that long to be able to read and write because i got practice with it everyday for several hours  and i had access to book and materials that would improve me unlike Douglass. His willingness to learn is way more than mine is. Learning to him probably means everything to him. Being a slave all he new was work, not knowing that there is bigger and better things out to be learned. It was a lot harder for him to learn not having the appropriate materials but he sure did have to dedication to learn and that was all that it came down to. How far he was willing to go and come much time and effort it had to take to learn. Whether it was 150 years ago or not you always start with the simple things and work your way but such as the A,B,C's then all it takes is repetition from then on after the basics.
