Chapter 11 and Appendix

He is very kind to not mention the names of people who have helped him or how he managed to make his great escape. It probably took quite a bit of self control for him to not publish the names of these people. I thought that Frederick was willing giving his master the money he made but apparently not. It is a good thing that even though being a slave he could carry the responsibility of a freeman and also manage to save up a few bucks in the process. I find it very sad that just because he goes out with the company he was hired for, he loses the privilege of finding his own work and such although Master Hugh is still paid. At least, Frederick wasn't harmed physically even though he was threatened after not turning in some money but hey, he goes out and finds more work in which he can turn in 8 dollars at the end of the week. I find it joyous that he could make a successful escape, however, it is also depressing the way he feels about leaving his friends. I want you to think of your best friend. You just found out they were moving that day and your friend has known for a couple of months now. Your friend has gotten all their work and paperwork filled out to leave in the middle of the school year. How you would feel is probably close to how Frederick feels. That is really neat that he finds himself comfortable speaking in front of white men. I think that the last two paragraphs finish up the story nicely and tie together all loose ends. I never would of thought of two kinds of Chirstianity, the Christianity of America and the Christianity of Christ. I find the parody interesting in the fact that the author is stating what the white people are saying, which is, oh look at us doing all this good stuff and hey you nigger what did you did do that for along with a few new valleys and ridges from a cowskin cord all here in this oh so great union. Hey look at us praying for greatness of the Union and what are you doing nigger, stealing food from me I'll teach you, say goodbye to your family. The parody is explaining how hypocritic the whites were and it makes me glad that our nation finally decided to get rid of it even if we have to pay off the debt from the civil war when we get out of high school.
