when you are not educated then you do not know any different. As a slave you have no reason for education and you might be one of the few like frederick that begins to understand that what is being done to him is wrong.. but not every one does that I belive that is a strong uplifting statement. If teenagers would make up their minds and make the right decisions, then we would all experience change. Education allows you to see. Then its up to you whether you wanna remain a slave or not. Will you apply the Knowledge or will you continue to close your eyes?
