Tanner Brown
My name is Tanner Brown and I'm still an undecided major at this point. My favorite things to do are to be outside, and go bowling. I have not yet read the readings but i will later on. I did learn that Douglass had to read in secret and he was teaching himself how to. I found this very interesting because he was the first slave to actually take the risk to read and write English.

I thought it was amazing that he taught himself how to read because he was able to take his reading ability and convert it to a high level of writing, and he did all this without a real education.
ReplyDeleteI see you love to go bowling. I do too, Wii bowling is the best,haha. I got a perfect 300 on the Wii bowling game. Sad thing is, it has only happened once. Where is you favorite place to bowl at? My favorite place to go is Blue Fusion.
ReplyDeleteHi, im Liz. I also love bowling. I agree that I also found it very interesting that he taught himself to read. I think it is remarkable that he did that.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that he taught himself to read, what a great man.
ReplyDeleteI am undecided and enjoy being outside also. I agree with the fact that it is interesting how he took the risk and taught himself such a valuable skill. I couldn't imagine the struggles he had to go through to just to get a basic education.
