Reaction To Douglass' Narrative

I was impressed by Douglouss' narrative and instantly supportive of him. He used ethos to make me respect his credibility. The narrative first explained how successful he was as an adult and I could tell how smart he was by how sophisticated his writing was. He also proved credible to how horrible of a slave life he had by going into detail of his experience. I reacted to the horrific details of slaves being whipped with empathy for them and hatred for the white slave owners since Douglass used pathos to make me empathetic. I reacted with support for him and his cause as he used logos in explaining how unfair slavery is and how the white man stealing African men is simply evil. The narratives also used timing in how he waited until the end to say that he finally learned how to read making me appreciate the struggle Douglass had.
