From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
Mr. Auld’s warning that reading “would forever unfit him to be a slave” comes to the boy as “a new and special revelation.” He trusts it because Auld so plainly believed it. List what Douglass says he learned from that warning. What exactly did Auld teach him, without meaning to?
