Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
2 In Stock
Cannon Classics Worldview Guide series
Written by Jake Meador
The book is perhaps a useful starting place for considering Frederick Douglass's remarkable Narrative. If we are to understand both the good and the bad in America, there may be no better text to begin with than with this book. "~ From Jake Meador's guide.
The Canon Classics Worldview Guides provide an aesthetic and thematic Christian perspective on the most definitive and daunting works of Western Literature. The Worldview Guides focus on the big picture (both the good and the bad) without neglecting the details. Each Worldview Guide is a friendly literary coach - and a treasure map, and a compass, and a key - to help teachers, parents, and students appreciate, critique, and master the classics.
The bite-size WGs are divided into these ten sections (with some variation due to genre): Introduction, The World Around, About the Author, What Other Notables Said, Setting, Characters, & Argument, Worldview Analysis, Quotables, 21 Significant Questions & Answers, and Further Discussion & Review.
Paperback, 52 pages,
