The eyes of the potential soul arose upon the world in Senegambia, and on the other side of the world, in Easton, arose a soul destined to be imprinted upon the world forever. A girl, no, a woman I should say given the strength possessed in the soul of her body and mind and certainly a man, a man who will grow to learn depths of knowledge breaking the impenetrable minds of those who have listened to the silence. These two were of separate hues though fused by deep pigment. Two of the most famous black writers who supported the abolitionist movement in America were Frederick Douglass and Phillis Wheatley. During the times of slavery, finding an educated black slave who could read the same words from a newspaper who could then think for himself and stand up to show who he was, speak with wisdom to scold the silenced cowards who looked away since the reality of the world was rare. These two bold-spirited authors managed to write literature that inspired people's minds to change. Wheatley moved his readers with delicate yet powerful literature while Douglass employed strong and authoritative use of words. ……During the years 1773 and 1845 works of perfection and significance arose. In 1773 a work by Phillis Wheatley was published. A poem entitled “On being taken from Africa to America” which had described a fate doomed but enclosed in a veil of liberation and sovereignty. Wheatley was one of the most passive writers. She knew she was a slave considered to have no moral value in the eyes of whites, and she was aware of her place in society compared to whites. He knew that the only way to get his readers' attention was to inflame them with anger. When analyzing slavery…middle of the paper…twins. He rhymed and wrote in iambic pentameter and the way he wrote his poetry was all about reason and form of style. Unlike other poets, she did not fill herself with emotion by using imaginative language; in fact she remained calm and collected. Like a child coloring in a coloring book, Wheatley never colored outside the lines. She wrote very formally, perhaps to show us how saved she really was. But through her formal words she always resembled God in her entire being, demonstrating her faith in Christianity. In line 7 of his poem he addresses “Christians,” he uses his experience to convince his readers, both black and white, that he will always be faith. In line 8, the “angelic train,” uses a metaphor of heaven to show us that this is the place of believers. Using images, metaphors and symbols he shows the form of his writing to express his beliefs.
