From Fredderick Douglass chap #10 pg #110:
"He asked me what I wanted. I told him, to let me get a new home; that as sure as I lived with Mr. Covey again, I should live with but to die with him; that Covey would surely kill me; he was in a fair way for it. Master Thomas ridiculed the idea that there was any danger of Mr. Covey; that he was a good man, and that he could not think of taking me from him; that, should he do so, he would lose the whole year's wages; that I belonged to Mr. Covey for one year, and that I must go back to him, come what might; and that I must not trouble him with any more stories, or that he would himself get hold of me."
Example of "chiasmus" because it shows Douglass' personal crossing of making a change while dealing with his enslavement. Even though Douglass is still a slave, his living and safety conditions have been questioned.
See you tomorrow!
