Douglass’s account
Write a single paragraph responding to the following question: In what way do you believe Douglass’s account
of how he learned to read and write is applicable to us today?
Format: Make sure that you include a clear topic sentence (about the one main idea to be supported/
developed in the paragraph) and that all of the body/supporting sentences support or develop that topic and
the concluding sentence concludes the topic. Develop structurally correct sentences that apply techniques to
avoid run-on sentences.
