  • Sarah Grimke and Frederick Douglass

    Now on the other had Frederick was born into slavery. He was living in Maryland, born to a white man unknown to him and his mother was also a slave. Frederick pursued how to read and write while being a slave but found that it was an uphill battle, because no slaves were permitted to be educated. Frederick persevered and learned to read and write but prior to his escape up North his moral was very low because being educated as a slave he states, “It had given me a view of my wretched condition, without the remedy. It opened my eyes to the horrible pit, but to no ladder upon which to get out”(Narrative of the Life of F.D. Pg 1073 col.2). Can you imagine this; a slave that can now read and write all of a sudden wishes the opposite? It’s tough to stomach the grief that he must have felt during that time.

  • Frederick Douglass Loss Of Faith Essay

    1264 Words  | 3 Pages

    The bibles says “the just shall live by faith and not by bread alone.” (Hebrews 2:4) I know early in Fredrick’s life he was looking for that faith, that fullness of grace, the promise of God to never leave nor forsake him. And he soon found it. Fredrick ended up keeping faith in God because no matter the situation, there always seemed to be a way for him to overcome what many men in those days would have died from if put in the same situation. For example, Douglass writes: “I escaped death by the merest chance.” Later in his narrative Douglass is caught trying to escape from Covey’s plantation but is able to keep his life. Douglass ever gets into a brawl with his slave master. All these images that we are given in the narrative are so that we fully understand why Douglass battled with faith and also why after everything he is able to keep his faith in God. His ability to read and write also played a large part in him coming fully to faith. With these abilities he can interpret the bible anyway he would like. Fredrick now understood that without struggles there can be no true greatness. He stated this in his later years.

  • Analysis Of Descartes Natural Light

    1695 Words  | 4 Pages

    Rene Descartes’ natural light is his saving grace, and not Achilles’ heel. Descartes incorporates the concept of natural light within his epistemology in order to establish the possibility of knowing things completely without doubt. In fact whatever is revealed to the meditator via the natural light is considered to be indefeasible. The warrant for the truth of these ideas does not rely on experience or the senses. Rather the truth of the idea depends on viewing the concept through clear and distinct perception. Descartes’ “I am, I exist”, (Med. 2, AT 7:25) or the ‘cogito’ is meant to serve as the basis for knowing things through clear and distinct perception. Descartes’ cogito is the first item of knowledge, although one may doubt such things as the existence of the body, one cannot doubt their ability to think. This is demonstrated in that by attempting to doubt one’s ability to think, one is engaging in the action of thought, thus proving that thinking is immune to doubt. With this first item of knowledge Descartes can proceed with his discussion of the possibility of unshakeable knowledge. However, Descartes runs into some difficulty when natural light collides with the possibility of an evil genie bent on deceiving the meditator thus putting once thought concrete truths into doubt. Through an analysis of the concept of natural light I

    “The Wonders of the Invisible World”, written by Cotton Mather, is an account of the Salem Witch Trials. He retells information that has been passed down to him without actually being present at the trial and simultaneously explains his theory to why witches were suddenly emerging in Salem, Massachusetts. There were quite a few holes in the Salem Witch Trials, especially regarding whether or not these events occurred the way they are said to. Mather’s book shows us how intense the Puritan ideals were, attaching anything out of the ordinary to a higher power and in doing this shows the flaws of the religion which caused to Salem Witch Trials.
