  • A “Slave” Again
  • First Field Job
  • Hungry Enough to Lose a Horse
  • Frederick Douglass moves back from Baltimore to Thomas Auld, at St. Micheal’s, in March, 1832. At this point in the story, Frederick knows dates, and is used to having more freedom. It’s the first time in a while, that Frederick felt hunger, and he is not happy with where he’s at.
  • Boats of Truth
  • When Frederick transferred over to Edward Covey, he was given a field job, which was driving the oxen. Frederick wasn’t experienced at driving the oxen, and lost control twice, almost losing his life, twice. Frederick goes back to the plantation, and tells Mr. Covey what happened. Mr. Covey went out with Frederick the next time he went out, and told him to take off his clothes, but when Frederick didn’t listen, Covey charged at Frederick, took off his clothes, and beat him.
  • A Fight For Freedom
  • After feeling pain and hunger, Frederick loses a horse, and lets it run to his master’s father-in-law’s plantation. There, he will be fed till satisfied. That slaveholder always fed his slaves. But because of this behavior, Thomas Auld gave Frederick to Edward Covey to break him.
  • A Step to Freedom
  • On a Sunday, Frederick had some leisure time. The plantation was near Chesapeake Bay, and Frederick would stop and watch the boats float by. He would then speak, asking God, “Why is my life like this? Why was I born to be a brute?’” He questioned wether taking his life was the right call or not, but then made the decision that he didn’t have to live the life he had been living. He would run 100 miles north.
  • After the day on the bay, Frederick had made the decision that he was going to fight for freedom. He said he would rather die fighting, than die standing still. One day, while working, Covey came in, with a whip in his hand, but Frederick wouldn’t stand it any longer, he fought Covey back, and knocked another white man on the floor. He had the root in his pocket, and that could’ve been the reason he didn’t end up getting whipped. Frederick fought back, and didn’t get punished since then.
  • The fight with Mr. Covey was the turning point in his career as a slave. It revived a sense of manhood, self-confidence, and the sense of determination to be free again. His term for Mr. Covey ended on Christmas of 1833, and on January 1, he left Mr. Covey, and went to live with Mr. William Freeland, where he got his first paying labor job. Only about 2 people on the plantation were slaves, and the rest were hired. This meant that Frederick was one step closer to freedom.
