The character I am writing about is Fone Bone in the book BONES by Jeff Smith. Many important events that happen in this book including when Fone bone lost his cousins in the beginning, he has to babysit mrs. possums kids without given a choice, and he struggles to cut firewood. These seem like relevant events but they have a deep importance to this book as i go into depth in this essay. Fone Bone faces many more challenges in BONES, throughout he learns a great deal about himself. When fone bone lost his cousins he was tremendously lonely and he struggled to survive on his own until he makes friends with ted and others throughout the book.

He tried to call them back to the house but they would not listen. It went silent and fone bone was worried, he had no idea where the kids ran off to. He searched the forest for them and heard a noise in a bush thinking it was them hiding in the bush; fone bone opened the bush to rat creatures holding the kids. He didn't know what to do but he was smart about getting them back, fone distracted the rat creatures and snatched them right out of their hands and ran.

In almost all stories, the main character or characters usually have many personal experiences that change their views in one way or another.

Another story includes many small events and moments that in the end affect a certain character's views and habits. The last story shows how previous life experiences turnout to not only not benefit but actually hurt. Notice that there can be many different kinds of situations that have an influence on a character and can change a character for better or for worse.
The tone established in the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is unusual in that from the beginning to the end the focus has been shifted. In the beginning of the narrative Douglass seems to fulfill every stereotypical slavery theme. He is a young black slave who at first cannot read and is very naïve in understanding his situation. As a child put into slavery Douglass does not have the knowledge to know about his surroundings and the world outside of slavery. In Douglass’ narrative the tone is first set as that of an observer, however finishing with his own personal accounts.
The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass details the oppression Fredrick Douglass went through before his escape to freedom. In his narratives, Douglass offers the readers with fast hand information of the pain, brutality, and humiliation of the slaves. He points out the cruelty of this institution on both the perpetrator, and the victims. As a slave, Fredrick Douglass witnessed the brutalization of the blacks whose only crime was to be born of the wrong color. He narrates of the pain, suffering the slaves went through, and how he fought for his freedom through attaining education.
In Frederick Douglass 's first autobiography, "Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass”, he provides a graphic portrayal of his childhood and disturbing experiences as a slave as well as his eventual escape to freedom.

In telling his story, Douglass paints a realistic picture of slavery. Douglass 's narrative spells out the slaveholders ' tactics in simple terms while highlighting the moral inefficiencies and the damaging effects of slavery on both the slave and the slaveholder
Natalie Goldberg in “Writing Down the Bones,” compares running to writing, “like running, the more you do it, the better you get at it. Some days you don’t want to run and you resist every step.” I believe majority student hate writing papers as much as professors grading them. They are countless reason why so many student struggle with writing. Majority of the time it’s not fun or interesting, you can feel insecurity or just can’t figures out how to compose you thought into words on paper. As the book says, “don’t try to control it. Stay present with whatever comes up, and keep your hand moving.”

The novel begins with an anecdote, used as an epigraph, in which Susie recalls her father amusing her as a child by shaking a snow globe with a small penguin inside all by himself. When she worries about the penguin, he says, "Don't worry, Susie. He's got a nice life. He's trapped inside a perfect world."
I think it is important to start out this essay saying that what Frederick Douglass wrote was an exception and most slaves did not get the chance to tell their very much important life stories. Douglass was of the minority of the african americans during his time. He knew how to read and to write and that was a skill most slaves were ignorant of. He was a lucky soul. Because of his writing, reading and intelligent vocabulary, he escaped and landed into freedom.
