I think that Frederick Douglass is an admirable man. The way he behaved in so difficult circumstances is incredible.
After watching this video, I need to say thanks for so many things I have, specially freedom.
Probably education changed how Frederick behaved and thought. He felt proud of being a man and he fought for his dignity and respect.
Education has helped me to be aware who I am and how I can help me and other people.
I think human being is like a piece of stone, when you were born it starts your work of sculpting this piece of stone into the best human being you can be.
Countries develop throught education.
Interesting thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to write your responses.
Note how you can improve this sentence by using better word choice from “The way he behaved in so difficult circumstances” to “The way he coped with very difficult circumstances”:
Keep at it! Many thanks.
