Paragraph 2 states that Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland. Analyze how this event affected other individuals and/or influenced other events described in the text. Use specific details from the text to develop your response.
Born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey into slavery in Maryland, Douglass did not know his real birth date. He later adopted February 14 as the date to celebrate. Separated from his mother at a young age, Douglass had the good fortune to be exposed to reading at an early age. He soon learned enough to begin teaching other slaves. However, he was sent to another plantation where his education was discouraged. Douglass wrote about this time in his autobiography, citing it as a period that nearly broke his spirit. But it didn’t break him. In fact, he fought back and tried to escape slavery several times. On the third try, he succeeded. HELP QUICK 23 POINTS NO LINKS

Passage 1:

When President Kennedy vowed in the early 1960s that America would put a man on the moon, few could have dreamed that it was actually possible. But on a humid July night in 1969, I sat with my parents in front of the television, glued to the images of an astronaut bounding around on the lunar surface in front of an American flag. That night, I walked outside and looked up at the moon, which suddenly felt so close. Then I turned my head slightly to the nearest star. What was next? I thought. Everything out there suddenly seemed close enough to touch, and in that moment anything was possible.


Passage 2:

It has been 68 days since we left the shores of Europe aboard the Mayflower, and there have been many moments when I was sure all hope was lost. Great storms rolled upon us with no warning at least a dozen times, and when sickness spread across the ship, most of us felt that we would never see solid ground again. But now on the shores of this new land, with the past at our backs and a new life ahead of us, it feels as if anything is possible. It is November, so first we must build a home. Then, perhaps we will move westward and see what else this great land has to offer.

I'm writing a short story about a clown stalking a little girl, it's not finished but can anyone give me a suggestion on what to change in the writing and maybe come up with an ending cause I'm having a bit of trouble.

In October of 2016, a twelve-year-old girl named Samantha lived in a suburban town, after school her friend invited her to a Halloween party later at night. She accepted her request but of course like every other kid, they had to get permission. She later came home and asked their parents if she could come to the party, short answer...no. Samantha tries to argue with them but, no luck. Later in the evening, Samantha was getting frustrated. Then she thought “I could sneak out of the house while mom and dad are sleeping.”, and so that’s what she did. A few hours later she started to get ready, wearing her witch costume. She quietly sneaks out of her room into the hallway, the wooden floor creaking. She gets to the front door, walks out of the house, and slowly shuts the door. She looked around, seeing the streets were completely empty. She began walking down the street, slowly realizing she didn't know where she was going. After about a few minutes she was completely lost: didn't know her way back home, nor which direction to take. The fear of being alone crept up to her. All of a sudden she hears a bit of laughter coming from behind her. She turns around, her eyes widening as she sees a tall man in a clown costume, looking at her with a sinister smile. Samantha didn't know what to do, she quickly started to walk away, the clown follows. She yells, "Back off creep!". She started running, so did the clown chasing after her. She yelled and screamed for help, nobody was around. She gets to a nearby park losing sight of the clown. She hides behind a tree not knowing what to do. She peeks around seeing him, wandering around looking for her. She was trembling in fear, being cold and alone. Then she heard sirens in the distance and the clown immediately runs away.
