P2 Adan M & Adrian DLT
1.Thomas Jefferson said that slavery is a very disrespectful thing to do other people who dont look the same.
2.Reading 3 is the one that gives more details on how the life was for a slave because it tells you everything they do and everything they eat.
3.One reason is that they have their Sabbaths and holidays and the second reason is they are protected by their master.
per 2 pablo N. martin Z.
1. jefferson is saying that god doesn't want slavery.
2.quote number 2 because it xplanes that the slaves get up in the morning an it explanes what they have to do like make food an work in the field an wake up really early.
3. he says that the slaves have every thing they need food shelter an that the youngs dont work much. but he was only talking about the south
Ana R. Antonio S. Period-2
1. Thomas Jefferson said that slavery is a very bad thing because its a disrespectful thing.
2. We think #3 is a more accurate description because its a very good reason.
3. The two reasons are that the slaves they have there holidays and the second reason is that they have protection.
Christian P. Ricardo T.
1.Thoms Jeffersons comments are between master and slave is perpeual exercise of the most unremitting desotism on the one part and degrading submissions on the other.
2.I think the third reding is more accurate because people would understand it more. The second reading has big words for example, the slaves arouse,and others. I think a 8th grader would understand it in the third reading.
3.The two reason's the author gives are. One, the chilren of the slaves dont have to work because of their age also saying they are the freest slaves in the south. 2, They have free time during the holiday and they dont have to wok.
p.2 emily o. & ernesto c.
1)What thomas Jefferson thought about slavery was that the god made us like this.
2)i think reading 3 is explaining more because it tells us about what time they start doing their things and indian meal and how they plant things.
3)That slavery is good for the slave and he must work hard and have no liberty and be happy that the slave is living and eating.
JUAN M. VERONICA R. P2 1. The business between whites and slaves are an exercise of the persistent ruler on one part, and respecting submission on the other and god is just and will bring justice to the country. 2. Reading 2 is more of an accurate description of a slaves life because slave had hard life's and the 3rd reading being a slave was more of a job than being a slave and in reading 2 they suffered how you think a slave would suffer.
3. The 2 reasons that slavery is good are that the children and aged dont work and they must work or starve
Period:2 Gema O. and Gabriel V.
1.) That even though people can get away from a crime or something that isn't right justice will always come sooner or later.
2.)The second reading is more accurate ,since it is about the normal life they had before slavery even though it was the same thing they were free.
3.)That other people are more of a slave then the negro because they work harder for less money and they either work or starve to death.
Ashley V. And Bellana O.
#1- Thomas Jefferson thought slavery was bad and that God made us like this.
#2-The third reading is more expliaining about slaves lives .Because its explians how the slaves lived their liives for example this text is in the reading of paragraph 3 '
The laborers begin work at six o'clock in the morning, have an hour's rest at nine for breakfast, and many have finished their assigned task by two o'clock, all of them by three o'clock.'
#3-
Period 2 Stacey M.& Ashley K.
1.The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the... most unremitting despotism on the part, and degrading submisions on the other...indeed i tremble for my country when i reflect that god is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.
2.Whole night chatting,merry making,preaching and psalm singing together.
3.
Jackie M.
Stephanie S.
Per.2
1.) Thomas Jefferson said that slavery is a never ending horrible thing.

3.)The 2 reasons he gave that the women do little work and are protected by their mastersand the free labor people work harder and longer for less allowence.
P.5 Bryant Salas
1.That there is no justice between master and slave
2.I think that reading 2 is better than reading 3 because reading 2 is more understanable and it tells more
3.THEY have comforts and nessaries for there life provided for them and that they dont have to starve and they bearly work
p#2 Annabel G angel s
1. Thomas Jefferson didn't like slavery and he feels bad for his own country.
2. the third reading explains more than than the second because it tells us what time they eat and sleep

Juan C. and Carlos M per 2
1.This means that he is scared because he thinks that they would be punished by god and no justice.
2.I think that the 2nd one.
3. they get to live somewhere and the get to eat what they harvest.
Valeria B. And Steven L. Per. 3
1. That justice can not go on forever because there always has to be something wrong going on.
2. We think its the third reading because it has more detail like the time and what they ate plus when.
3. He's saying that there happy because they don't starve to death, they have clothing, and they have shelter. Also he's saying slave do little work and they are protected.
E.C: Their reasons are that they only do a little bit of things and they don't have to pay taxes like others. Also they have a place to live and things to eat.
P.3rd Stephanie D. && Sergio O.
1.Jefferson says that slavery is something that is never ending and slackening. And there is something wrong going on.
2.It's the 3rd because it sounds more detailed and accurate.
3.He says that they are happy because they have most necesseties.He also says that sklaves do little work and they are protected.
EC:He said that laborers must work or starve but slaves get their needs one way or the other. Slaves dont have to pay taxes.
P:3 Ramiro B. & Sandra C.
1) We think that he is saying that god is giving people no freedom that people say that he treats people equal and that it is not happening to the slaves.
2) The third reading is the more accurate reading because it explains how the laborers work and what they eat and their timings and also slaves living in fear.
3) The reasons why slavery is good for the slave because they are the happiest and free people in the world.
EXTRA CREDIT: The slaves are better off then people who work in wagons because the slaves they usaually work for you almost until the whole day, they have no holidays, the slave has no liberty or rights.
Kimberly Alcantar & Joshua Finnell Per.3
1) I think it means that pretty soon slavery is going to come at an end because buisness is going to become slower and there is not going to be enough money so people are not going to buy slaves anymore so then slavery is going to come to an end.
2) I think reading number 2 is more accurate about slave life because it explains what do they do and how do they life and in reading 3 they just talk about workers and how they live.
3) It Says that slaves have the best life they have the most freedom and liberty. but at the same time they have a rough life because they are like being told what to do and it must be rough also because they dont have alot of freedom like the other people so life for them kinda sucks
P3 Alan p Alisson D.
1.Jefferson is saying that god is bieng fair to both slave owners and slaves because if you do something good you get rewarded and if you do something bad you get punish.
2.The most accurate is reading 2 cause of the person her wrote it like sir charles lyell sounds like a slave owner and solomom northrup sounds like a slave also the text ''the laborers begin work.''
3.One of the examples is ''The free labor must work or starve.'' ''The negro slaves of the south are the happiest.''
Ivan G Javier C
P.3
1)The relations between master and slave is one part horrible unforgetable humiliated and degrated . And that god will punish us.
2)The second reading is the most accurate because it shows more details about the slavery and the third reading was not as accurate as the second reading.
3)The slave has to work less hoursand his master provides him food and clothing . and the master protects them from the law and gives them a place to live.
#1 Jefferson says that slavery is a good exercise for the the master and very embarrassed for the slaves. that god cannot do anything for the slaves or justice
#2 reading #3 is most accurate he describes what they eat the time they wake up and the time they go back to sleep.
#3 one reason is that the children enjoy they don't work they enjoy liberty .reason two the slaves work in good weather they have to work or starve.
P3 Anaid R Anais O
1. Thomas Jefferson thought that slavery was unfair and bad, it was mean and humiliating to the slaves. He thought that God will punish the slave owners and the people that like slavery, because they were being unfair to the slaves. It would be fair if God were to punish and be mean to them, because they were mean to the slaves.
2. The second one is more accurate, because it says what the slaves do from when they wake up and when they go to sleep, and how sometimes they had to work late, even passing the time to eat. The third reading just says at what time the slaves begin working, what they were allowed to eat, and what they can sell for other things.
3. The author says that slavery is good, because meals are provided to the slaves by the slave owners. The free people have to provide their own things vital to living.
ec. The author says that slaves are better off than people working for wages because the free people work more strenuously, and they get paid little. For this reason they are more of a slave.
p.3 Stephanie O. and Vanesa E.
1.Thomas Jefferson is saying that slavery is against humanity.All men are created equally and the should have the same rights.In his opinion slavery is wrong.
2.I think that reading number 2 is more accurate with slavery than reading number 2.
P.3-Carlos H. Darlene V.
1. he says "the whole selling of the master and his slave is never ending exersise of never relaxing the power, and disrespectful force on one another. i fear that i am sinning under the eyes of God".
2. i think reading 2 is more realistic because the 3rd reading sounds like a regular person but the second one is alot of work and sounds like a slave.
3.
Jorge C. & Joselyn C. p.3
1.Thomas Jefferson wrote that the whole thing between the slaves and the master is a cruel thing that they have done and god may never forgive them.
2. I think that the 3rd one is the one that is true,because it adds much more detail in the story and explains the ways they eat at each hour.
3. The women do little of hard work and they realax more. They have more comfort their.
Eric.L period.3
Hector Flores
1.Thomas Jefferson said that it is a tiring to have slaves and is degrading (a shame)and also said. That god has to wake up and redeem him self.
2.Reading number 3 is more acurate than number 2 she explains that wat time they wake up to wat time they go to sleep.
P.3 Anthony.G Carlos.M
1. What Thomas Jefferson said is that life isn't fair for the slave but life is fair for the whites and rich.
2. the second reading is telling about a ever day life for a slave . As ,for the third reading it is about the same only this time their is the punishment if they disobey thier mater and the season invobel .
Ofelia R. Perla M. period 3
1: This paragraph mean that slavery will not stay forever.
2:The third reading is more accurate because it describes the life and the working hours of the laborer/slave.
3:one reason is because they at least have a place to stay and have food.
and the other reason is because they have
Period 3
Veronica Leiva and Vanessa Barrios
1. Thomas Jefferson is saying that the whole buying and selling about slaves is a never ending change and its cruel. He also said that he shakes for his country when he relects in God and that his justice can't sleep forever,
2.We think that the thrid one because they gives specific times and what they ate deatiled and how they treated them.
3.
hugo s.eric p
Jefferson is trying to say that the practice of slavery is never ending.
the third story is the most accurate story because he give more detail about what they are allowed to eat and do. it also gives you times and dates.
the first reason is that the author say slavery is good for because everything is giving them like home,clothe. the woman does nothing to work.
that true that slaves better of because they get everything giving to them.the average person get holidays and get pay by the hour.
Diana Rojas and Manny Ornelas
1:skiped
2.i think that the reading 3 is the more accurte in the slave life because it saiys when they wake up eat work go to leap and ect...
3. two reasons they give is that the children and the aged and infirm work not at all, and yet have all the comforts and necessaries of life provided for them.
extra credit because he works longer and harder for less allowance than the slave, and has no holiday, because the cares of life with him begin when its labor end.
Diana Rojas & Manny ornelas
1:The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the...most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other.....Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever. thats what heffersons coment was about slavery :)
2.The one tht i think is more descritive is the third one because it gives u a better view of how things were really for slaves.
3.He says its good for them because they re the freest people of all the world and because women ae protected from the depotism of their husbands by their masters .
Alejandra Raygoza per.4

2. The second reading is more actuate than the third one. The third one uses laborers instead of slaves

Melissa Aguilar & David Verdugo
Period 4 1/28/10
Juan G. period 4
2. Reading 2 has the most accurent amnd is written by the slave but reading 3 is written by the slave owner and the owner makes it look like the slave ids being treated good.
3. The slave master is saying that being a slave is better because you get treated better they just talk about the little kids but the dont talk about the older slaves.
Diana Ramos,Jairo Martinez

3)Because they are the freest and the south are the happienst
Period #4

2. I think that both of them are very specific but the one that is most it the second one because it tells more like what they ate and things like that.
3. The author says that slavery is good because everything is provided for them and they dont have to work on holidays.
daniel m per4.
2. i think reading number 2 is more better because it is more specific becuse they say what time they sleep and eat.
3. it says that the negros were good bieng slves because they were paid by food nand the kids that were little
Marina P. & Maggie M. P.6
The buying and selling between master and slave is a never ending, never relaxing exercise of absolute power on one side and disrespectful acceptance to provide the greater force on the other. Im afraid that god with not put off his judgement until later.
P.6 Cynthia G. and Isaac j.
1) Jefferson meant that the way masters treated and handled they're slaves wasn't at all well and that he well knew that even though no one did anything about it sooner or later justice would be made and felt sorry for his country.
2) Reading three was more descriptive about slavery life since it told about how they would get whipped and when they had time to rest, what they were allowed to eat, and how their worked changed in the summer.
3) The author gave reason which was that the slaves worked in good weather and only nine hours a day. Another reason was that whoever did not work hard didn't have the right for liberty.
Michael B. & Stephanie C. P.6
1. The business between a slave and his master is a bad exercise of absolute power on the master and submission of the save. I fear for my country when I think that God is just and he will not put of his judgement forever.
2. I think the third reading is more detailed because it shows the working plans they had and luxieries they had also the sound of the whip that terrified them.
3. Two reasons the author gives are that the young, old and infirm (sick) did not have to work at all and also that the woman were not oppresed by their husbands because the masters did not allow them to.
p.6 Jc b & jasmin r
1.With the relation between master and slave, that was not what this contrey is about and justice will punish slave owners.
2.The slaves would wake up at six to get to work and even sometimes some of them would start work at two.So they would sleep in the day and even most of the time they would have to return part of their food or keep it to feed their fowls and would usually sell it to buy tobacco and other luxuries.
3.that the women slaves hardly get whiped by thare masters and huband.also all thare need are taken care of food shelter and warmth.
Brandon O. Brenda F. Per6
1. Thomas Jefferson thoght that God was watching over the commrs between masters and slaves and he would soon have justice against the country.
2. WE think that the second reading is more accurate in description of slave life because it says they would work for their mastes with little to eat, and somtimes wouldnt rest.
3. The fourth reading says that they are the freest people in the world and the author also says that they have all the comforts & necessaries of life.
Pedro C. Period 6
1. Thomas Jefferson says that the relationship between slave and owner is just.
2. I think that the more accurate reading is reading three because it describes the hardship in the slaves' daily life in a plantation. For example, the reading says that the slaves work sometimes until after midnight.
3. One reason the author gives is that the slaves have holidays and days off when the author describes the life of a free laborer is harder than that of the slave. The second is that they have all the necessities that they need and even luxuries like tobacco and molasses.
Muriel P. and Misael G. Period 6
1. That he beliefs in God and has faith that one day slavers and owners are going to stop fighting.
2.i think that the third reading is more accurate because it say that they get whipped.
3. White don't rest and Black do, that Blacks take it the easy way and that the White are more like slaves because they work harder.
Per. 6, Nancy C. & Nathalie G.
1. Thomas Jefferson's quote
What Thomas Jefferson's quote means that he will believe that freedom will lways be in your right hand.
2. We believe that the 2nd reading is a more accurate life for slaves because the whites wanted the work done quicking. They often barely feed the slaves, or let them rest.
3. The author said that, "They enjoy liberty, because they ae oppressed neither by care nor labor." " The Negro slaves of the South are happiest, and, in the same sense, the freest people in the world."
4. We think that the author is trying to said that slaves don't that to pay taxes or the bills. They don't have to pay rent because someone is letting them stay there.
Christian C. & Carla Z.
1.He said that slavery has last a long time and that god has had mercy so far but that he will not have it forever.
2.I think that Reading number 3 is the more accurate description of a slaves life ,because they explain everything how its does as the day goes by in a more accurate way.
3.He says"The children and the aged and infirm work not at all, and yet have all the comforts and necessaries of life provided for them." and he also said that the men work hard but only i good weather.
E.C. Because a free laborer has to work and starve.
Esmeralda.V. Hugo.T.
(1)Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.
Thomas Jefferson, 1782
Thomas Jefferson said the following. This his comments n slavery. That he does not approve of slavery for the same reason George Washington did see us all as an equal person.
(2)I think 3 is more accurate because it says that they wakeup and have certain breaks to eat and everything is all planned out.
(3)The writer says that negros have more liberty than the white. The reasns he gave is they work in good weather and he said that whites do more than blacks they have more cares than blascks.
Arturo.V && Andrea.O Per.6
1.Basically he is saying that he is scared for the country that was supposed to be a free country.
2.I think the 3rd one is more accurate because it tells us what they do daily.
3.they say that slaves in the south are the happiest and the freest people in the world
Alexander M. & Alexandra G.P6
1. I think Thomas Jefferson is saying that slavery is something that never ends and is a cruel form of power, he is scared for his country when he thins that God is fair and even and will punish them because they are doing something wrong.
2. I think the text by Soloman Northrup was more like the real situation of the slaves. "The hands are required to be in the cotton field.. they are not permitted to be a moment idle until it is too dark to see" This shows that they were real slaves because they had to work as much as they could.
3. He gives the reason that all the needs of the slaves are provided by their master no matter what. Another reason he gives is that the slaves are happy and protected by their masters, they have holidays.
EXTRA CREDIT : People who work for wages get paid less, and have to work harder than the slaves, also these people don't have holidays or any days off because they need to get their everyday things, while slaves have thier masters give it to them.
Stephanny S.Michael N. Per.6
1.That things between master and slavery are never ending.Also Thomas Jefferson mentions that he is scared that his country is not following gods ways.
And that god wilsoon make slaves free.
2.I think the second reading is more accurate because it is more likely that they got treated like that . They hardly got enough rest.
3.That they are actually more well fed than the free man. Also that the slaves make more money than the free man
Jasmin Hinojosa and Joob Giron Per.6
1.He's saying that slavery is excersised as if it has been around forvever. He judges people as the same just as god would.
Marina P. & Maggie M.
2. We think reading 3 is more descriptive because it shows what slaves do in detail like exactly what they do and exactly what they eat. It also talked about how they felt when they saw certain things like their owners whip.
3. (1)"The children and the aged and infirm work not at all, and yet have all the comforts and necessaries of life provided for them. "
(2)"Besides they have their Sabbaths and holidays. "
It says being a slave is better than being a free laborer.
Patricia A. Juan B.
1. For the first reading, paraphrase Thomas Jefferson's comments about slavery.
Thomas is saying that slavery is bad and hes worried that god will punish them for not being just.
2. Read the second and third readings. Which do you think is a more accurate description of slave life? Explain your answer with specific examples from the texts.
Well, i think the 2nd reading describes the most accurate "An hour before day light the horn is blown. Then the slaves arouse, prepare their breakfast, fill a gourd with water, in another deposit their dinner of cold bacon and corn cake, and hurry to the field again."
3. In the forth reading, the author says slavery is actually good for the slave. What are two reasons the author gives?
They enjoy liberty, because they are oppressed neither by care nor labor... The Negro men and stout boys work, on the average, in good weather, not more than nine hours a day....Besides they have their Sabbaths and holidays.
Nemesis D. & Stephanie O. - P.6
1.) The business where masters sell slaves is the practice of a degrating,unhuman on one hand and a sad and disturbing on the other hand. I fear for my contry, because one can never escape justice, and God is justuce. So i fear when justice comes back for us.
2.) I think that Reading two is most accurate beacuse it gives details about slaves and what their ife was like. " They do not dare to stop even at dinner time..." Ths showed that the slaves where to scared to stopp in fear that they would be whipped. They lived in fear and segragation.
3.)His two reasons are that they are 'provided' with all the comforts and necessaries of life they needed, and that the women did little hard work.
Alan rodriguez and abraham L.
1. The whole relationsip between a master and a slave is a countinueous show of crulty no one end and hoding them against their will on the other. God is just , and you will get what you deserve.
2.i think reading 3 was more descriptive and gave more details then reading 2. For example"The laborers are allowed Indian meal, rice, and milk, and occasionally pork and soup."and,"The sight of the whip was painful to me as a mark of degradation,"
3.he sais ,"The Negro slaves of the South are the happiest, and, in some sense, the freest people in the world." and ,"The women do little hard work, and are protected from the despotism of their husbands by their masters."
Leslie.B & Luisa.G :)
Per.6
1.Thomas Jefferson was saying that on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other.....Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.
2.) I think reading number three is more accurate because It says how slaves must work or starve.
