Jacobs and Douglas: a comparison

Harriet Jacobs & Frederick Douglas: a comparison. Two stories about slavery, both very impressive but at the same time very different from each other. The stories are written by authors who both where once slaves themselves, but finally gained freedom One was written by a woman and thus giving us a look at how slave women experienced this life, the other written by a man. The first story, Incidents in the life of a slave girl. …

…I finally would like to mention that, after reading these stories it was once more made clear to me how ridiculous it is that one person can be owned by another person and having no right and how scary I find it that one person can abuse another person. Although slavery is forbidden by law, the thoughts that this kind of abuse is still taking place in some parts of the world makes me sad
