I think Douglass was lonely because when he was a slave he was occupied with all of his slave dudies and always had things to do but now that he is free, he doesn't have anything to do. He didn't have any family or friends when he escaped so he was on his own in a free state. I think Douglass should re-start his life in the free state and make new friends and even start a family and thats my advice to Douglass.
I think douglass was lonely because when he had gotten to New York where he was free he didn't know what to do. Why i think this is because fredick was so use to following orders an having to do what other people told him when he got free he didn't know what to do. My advice to him would be to just take time anfind himself.
I think that Douglass was lonely in the free state because when he was back on the plantation he had friends and family and the masters always had him working. At the end of the night he would have people to go to. The advice that i would give a freed slave would to put your fate in God and start over. Make new friend but beware of those who make trifling convrersation
Douglass would feel this way because he was a slave all his life. When something is in your life so much, it ends up becoming a habit or you adapt to it so, Frederick may have adapted to the slave life style. Also, he has no friends, family, and he is afraid to talk to someone. I would tell Douglass you have to stand strong because this is the life an African American should have. Do not be look at everyone white man as an enemy, you have to forget about the past to reach the future.
The Reason Why Douglass was so lonely, because when he had finally reached his destination which was New York he had no family or friends. He was by himself, he was happy that he was free but the loneliness began to overwhelm him, and it made him feel that way. I think that Douglass should just began a new life since he is in a different area where there is no rules or slaves around.
When Frederick Douglass reached New York, he was lonely because he had no family or friends, and I guess he didn't know what to do in the freeland. When he was a slave, even though he endured a lot of hardships, he always had a labor to complete and someone to go to afterwards. I say that since he is a free man, he should live his life as a free man. God have helped him this far. I know he doesn't want to go back to his old life as a save.
