Please read and consider these speeches by Frederick Douglass:

> The Composite Nation (1869) (excerpts) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HysKdK-sYazaxIf-0VB_S4bRcBHl3ccQIla-nsiyiB0/edit

> Oration in Memory of Abraham Lincoln (1876) https://teachingamericanhistory.org/library/document/oration-in-memory-of-abraham-lincoln/

Two questions for you to answer (based on your reading of both speeches)

[1] What qualities does Douglass display as a thinker and a writer? (People continue to read these speeches because they’re powerful and memorable. What makes them powerful and memorable)? Cite a specific example from the speeches to support your answer.

[2] What qualities of character does Douglass display in these speeches? (i.e., what do you find memorable about Douglass as a person, based on what he wrote and how he expressed himself?). Cite a specific example from the speeches to support your answer.

It’s not an essay, just answer each question with one-page long writing. There are two questions.
