Write a specific response in which you address the following in your own words. Paraphrase properly, quote sparingly, and explain your understanding of any quoted material. Include in-text citations as needed. Number your answers. 1. In one to two full paragraphs, discuss what struck you as significant – and why – about the ways Frederick Douglass went about acquiring literacy and freedom. Base your response only on your reading of Chapters VII and XI of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. 2. Metamorphosis means transformation.

In one to two full paragraphs, discuss the changes you see in Delia Jones from the beginning of the story to the end. How do you interpret the ending of the story and why?
