He lost his family, his name, and most importantly, his freedom. He was now named “Plat” and “Plat” was a common slave. He had no family, no education, and no rights. He was whipped and physically wounded countless times, but the one thing that affected “Plat” the most was the fact that he had to hide that he could read and write. Whites looked at slaves being able to read as a threat to their “way of life” and did not allow it. He was forced to hide his knowledge because of this. Douglas had a very similar experience of being a slave in that he had lost his family, education, and rights as well. Although Douglas was born into slavery, he did not understand what this meant at such a young age. He did understand that while staying at his grandparents house, the children staying in his home eventually moved out and he never saw them again. As an adolescent, Douglas anticipated and feared the day this would happen to him. When his day finally came, he was distraught. His grandmother dropped him off and left with no goodbye.

Douglas is portrayed as a person that has been wronged because he was sold to another person before he really got to know his mother.
