The writings of Frederick Douglass and Phillis Wheatley world forever. A girl, no, a woman I should say given the strength that her soul, body and spirit possesses and certainly a man, a man who will grow to learn depths of knowledge shattering the impenetrable minds of those who have heard the silence. These two colors were distinct shades although fused together from a deep pigment. Two of the most renowned black writers of the abolitionist movement in America were Frederick Douglass and Phillis Wheatley. In the days of slavery, finding an educated black slave, who could read the very words of a newspaper, who could then think for himself and stand up to show who he was, speak with wisdom to rebuke the cowards silenced who looked away from the reality of the world was rare.

Like a child coloring in a coloring book, Wheatley never colored outside the lines. She wrote very formally, perhaps to show us how truly saved she was. But through her formal lyrics, she always sounded like God within herself, showing her faith in Christianity. In line 7 of her poem, she addresses “Christians,” she uses her experience to persuade her readers, black and white, that this will always be faith. In line 8, the “angelic train,” she uses a metaphor of heaven to show us that this is the place of believers. Using images, metaphors and symbols, she shows the form of her writing to express her beliefs..
