The Impact Of Technology On Education And Developing The Educational Process

In a Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave written by himself, the author argues that no one can be enslaved if he or she has the ability to read, write, and think. Douglass supports his claim by first providing details of his attempts to earn an education, and secondly by explaining the conversion of a single slaveholder. The author’s purpose is to reveal the evils of slavery to the wider public in order to gain support for the abolition of his terrifying practice. Based on the purpose of writing the book and the graphic detail of his stories, Douglass is writing to influence people of higher power, such as abolitionists, to abolish the appalling reality of slavery; developing a sympathetic relationship with the

Modern technology has penetrated every aspect of our lives and made great impacts on our daily activities, especially in the area of education. The continuous infusion of technology in education has become an unchangeable tendency. Given the increased use of technology in education, much research has been done on the value of technology in education. However, none of the studies have answered all of the questions that are essential to determining whether continuous infusion of new technologies in education can improve the quality of education. Since a clear answer to this question is vital to help educational organizations to make decisions on how much

In Frederick Douglass’s narrative, “Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass”, he speaks of how he gained his education. He discusses who helped him and who discouraged him from getting an education. He mainly taught himself how to read and write, but he would have been nothing without the help of one of his master’s wife, Mrs. Auld. This narrative has shown that even the slightest education can be very abundant and meaningful. Through this essay it becomes evident that education is only a privilege.

Published in 1845, Frederick Douglass’s autobiography, “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave”, is a historical account of his life that told of the challenges and obstacles that plagued the lives of slaves in pursuing freedom from injustice and persecution from white wealthy slaveowners. In particular, an excerpt titled “Learning to Read” shines a light on the tragic reality African Americans lived in every day during the 19th century. The circumstances surrounding the restriction of growth and development centered around the limited availability of education, or lack thereof. Frederick Douglass uses the Aristotelian appeals of ethos, logos, and pathos to build his credibility and connect with the audience on a more personal note, though he struggles with primarily focusing his paper by appealing to popularity. Nevertheless, he is successful in employing these strategies to tell a riveting memoir documenting his struggles in learning how to read and write to speak out against the injustices of slavery.

When a man grows up as an untaught slave in the southern eighteenth-century, he has no other ambitions than to be free. But for Frederick Douglass, freedom was merely step one. Douglass began his life on a plantation owed from the moment he arrived. He was not destined to stay put there. Born in (what he can come close to) 1818, he began life out as a man in chains but ended up a respected wordsmith, but still apologetic for his short comings. Douglass learned how to read, write, and give speeches; he influenced a nation for changes among writers today; and he had different approaches to the era he lived in, but knew he wanted change to exist among all. These things were needed to occur in order for the slavery and African-American society to be recognized as equals among all. His wit was not small nor was his leadership not seen as defiance. Each step of his journey, brought him to a different place where he faced a challenge that could not have been met any other way, but with strength and education where he was successful in obtaining. Douglass was not only a speaker, but was an author of his time. Many colleagues wrote of him and his life even after he passed away. In Douglass’ works he spoke of his ignorance and blunders, but continued to sow his good seed. In the book “The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas an

In the passion described through Frederick Douglass’s narrative excerpt, he reveals his difficult walk as a slave in “Learning to Read and Write.” Back in the mid 1800’s, Douglass became a recognized leader in the abolitionist movement; reassuring the enslaved in the southern United States that freedom is attainable. Douglass demonstrates, through his eyes, how one person’s passion to learn, could lead to a promising future. Douglass applies his mixed subjective experience and expressive tone to communicate his story to the audience who could influence the most change – abolitionists.

Every person in life faces a number obstacle that he/she either conquers or the obstacles conquer that person. In the two essays, “Learning to Read and Write” by Frederick Douglass and “The Library Card” by Richard Wright, the two authors face many obstacles in their lives. Frederick Douglass is a slave who has a desire to gain knowledge regardless of the circumstances and obstacles. Richard Wright is an African American man who lives in the South during the Jim Crow Laws and also has a yearning to attain more information about the life he lives. A previous EOF student, Rakiyah Johnson’s reaction to the essays written by Frederick Douglass and Richard Wright is that Douglass suffered far worse difficulties than Wright did. On the contrary, there are facts, which proves that the two men, Douglass and Wright suffered equal obstacles throughout their quest to gain knowledge. The obstacles consist of society’s restriction of knowledge to African Americans; the idea of Frederick Douglass and Richard Wright became ostracized; and the gained knowledge left the two authors with awareness, which brought distress in their lives.

Being resourceful by saving bread to use as incentive for children to share their knowledge was an ingenious plan to further Mr. Douglass’ education. The children felt rewarded and good about knowing more than adult, and Mr. Douglas gained knowledge that he was not able to acquire through any other traditional means. He was able to conduct himself as a slave and an unsuspecting student all at the same time (Learning to Read and Write, Fredrick

Fredrick Douglass was well known abolitionist know for influence on the black community through his stories from moving around during the slave journey, his escape, and his rise to being an abolitionist.

Originally illiterate and unaware of the evils of slavery and segregation, Douglass was taught the basics of the English language by his slave master’s wife. Soon after the beginning of his instruction, Douglass had developed a raging fire that could only be quenched with more knowledge. As his pursuit of reading and writing lead him to become literate, it also gave him a real-world understanding of the evil concept of slavery. As time went on, he began to resent his master and mistress for subjecting any human being to such a fate. It was his belief that the color of your skin or your country of origin should have no standing to what rights and abilities any person has. Becoming literate further exemplifies Douglass’ refusal to adhere to societal expectations, as people of black heritage were not allowed to be taught how to read in the United States. This was the way of the land, but it didn’t inhibit his resolve to become a learned man who was capable of understanding language, reading and writing. This passion is what set him apart from other people, not his

In his essay “Learning to Read and Write” Frederick Douglass begins by describing how he learned to read and write and the obstacles he faced to overcome his condition of being a slave. Douglas’s enslavers prevented him from getting an education or to learn anything that makes him somewhat valuable because they believed that slavery and education were not compatible. The challenges he faced were not easy, but his persistence to better himself allowed Douglas to invent strategic methods to pursue his aspiration of reading and learning. Frederick Douglas strongly believes in basic human rights of an individual and enlightens society around him the importance of education and freedom, stating that it gives an individual the opportunity to identify

First, the author develops his overarching claim that literacy was important to his mental progress by explaining the impact his mistress had on his education.

In Douglass’ Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (1841) we get an account of Douglass’ life of enslavement during the American Civil War. Douglass becomes a voice for countless slaves who couldn’t read or write and he ultimately shocks the nation with his chilling account of his enslavement. It was believed that black people couldn’t write such literary texts but Douglass purposely wrote this text with the use of literary devices and techniques to convey to the people that when blacks are educated they can address important issues like why in a country that believes ‘all men are equal’ is it that black men are excluded from this equality. People didn’t believe that Douglass was in fact an ex-slave because he was wrote like a white intellectual, there was a common belief that all slaves were illiterate because it was illegal to teach slave how to read and write.

Slaves were mentally oppressed in the area of education. Their yearning to become literate was denied over and over again. Indeed, slaveholders obstructed slaves from receiving any form of education at all costs. The reason behind this was no mystery to Douglass. As spoken by Mr. Auld, “Learning would spoil the best nigger in the
