This book goes into the life of Fredrick Douglass, and what he struggled his whole life to become a free man. We learn that Douglass was different than all of his peers: he wanted to learn, he was curious and promised himself he would one day be free! Frederick was so courageous that he got into a fist fight with his master the 'Slave Breaker".

This book compared to "Young Frederick Douglass The Slave Who Learned to Read" seems more superficial and does not go into great detail about his life. This book does not tell the reader how he learned to read, how he tried to escape before and got caught and misses out on vital information that inspired Frederick to become a free man. It seems to be for a younger audience than the previous book. ( )

This biography explains how Frederick Douglass thought differently from some of the other slaves and he wanted to make a difference and a change. He knew everyone wanted freedom, but he wanted to actually do something about it. It talks about how he was beaten but how he kept his will and escaped, but when he returned he got in a fight with the slave master but this time he fought back and the slave master did not bother him after that.

This is a book on the early life and situations of Fredrick Douglass. This book opens us into the issues of his early childhood, being born into slavery as well as dealing with an oppressive master and losing his mother to a slave trade. This story serves to inspire young readers and allows them to see how slavery was, but also leaves much left for young readers to ask. ( )

This biography tells the life of Frederick Douglass before he escaped slavery. In the book, it tells how his grandma raised him and he had never seen his father and hadn't seen his mother in years. When he got older the slave breaker wanted to break him because he seen something different in Frederick Douglas but he could not break him. I think it's an interesting book because most books would probably talk about everything he had done after he had escaped slavery. Everything that made him famous, but it's good to know his background information before all of the fame. ( )

Where was Fredrick Douglass born? What books did he like to read? How did he learn to read? Did he teach himself? What else did he do with his life? Frederick Douglass: The Last Day of Slavery disappointed me. I could not tell what was fact and what was fictionalized. The title also does not fit the book. It is not about Frederick Douglass's last day as a slave. I did not know there was someone called a breaker to break the spirit of slaves. This book could be used as an introduction to Frederick Douglass, but students will need more information about him than this book gives to fully understand what he did for African Americans. ( )
