Without actual physical evidence their idea is flawed because Snowball could have just written down these ideas without actually following through with his plans.

He compares the lives of those who live free lives to those who live in the poor conditions of slavery in Maryland. His description of the area and the people highlights the themes of freedom and identity by showing how freedom gives people the opportunity to thrive.

Douglass saying he felt himself a slave shows that his identity was essentially changed even though he was free and could finally have a voice and true identity.

He had acknowledged that there were people out in the world looking for those who had escaped slavery. Douglass is essentially saying people of color were treated like animals and hunted down no matter where they were or if they had escaped slavery.

This shows the theme of rights because while the master has control over Douglass and the money, Douglass knows that it is wrong and he should have rights over the money he earned on his own. It is important to understand that Douglass is saying he believes that his master should know that it is wrong and that Douglass is entitled to the money, but that isn’t the truth. This shows that slavery violates basic human rights, taking money that Douglass knew he was entitled to.

Douglass explains his feelings of, “the wretchedness of slavery, and the blessedness of freedom, were perpetually before me” (Section 5), showing how he sees both the suffering from slavery and the relief of freedom in his future.
