Caution: Percentage may not indicate academic misconduct. Review required.
Our testing has found that there is a higher incidence of false positives when the percentage is less than 20. In order to reduce the
likelihood of misinterpretation, the AI indicator will display an asterisk for percentages less than 20 to call attention to the fact that
the score is less reliable.
However, the final decision on whether any misconduct has occurred rests with the reviewer/instructor. They should use the
percentage as a means to start a formative conversation with their student and/or use it to examine the submitted assignment in
greater detail according to their school's policies.
Non-qualifying text, such as bullet points, annotated bibliographies, etc., will not be processed and can create disparity between the submission highlights and the
percentage shown.
In a longer document with a mix of authentic writing and AI generated text, it can be difficult to exactly determine where the AI writing begins and original writing
ends, but our model should give you a reliable guide to start conversations with the submitting student.

Our AI writing assessment is designed to help educators identify text that might be prepared by a generative AI tool. Our AI writing assessment may not always be accurate (it may misidentify
both human and AI-generated text) so it should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student. It takes further scrutiny and human judgment in conjunction with an
organization's application of its specific academic policies to determine whether any academic misconduct has occurred.
The narratives of Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs display the unique views on
what actual slavery does to women in America. Through the text of “Narrative of the Life of
Frederick Douglass, an American Slave,” Douglass famously depicts the plight of being a slave
as a complete assault on his personhood and identity by declaring, “You have seen how a man is
created a slave; you shall see how a slave is created a man”. On the contrary, Jacobs, in a chapter
titled "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," focuses on the uniquely heinous atrocities that
slaves and specifically slave women faced, and the conclusion is clearly stated: "Slavery is bad
for men, but it is bad for women all the more". Through a comparison of the lens choices and
ideas presented in these narratives, our essay will explain how stereotypes about masculinity and
femininity are further radicalized by the experiences of the male and the female slaves in society.
Through the studying of Douglass's and Jacobs' accounts and drawing upon the author’s critical
analytics we can expand our horizon on the paradoxes of gender and slave hood in the nineteenth
century America.
his enslavement as the worst destructive trampling of his masculinity and self-esteem. He fights
the emasculation resultant from the slavery and he activates his will from the subjection to
dehumanization. While experiencing the phenomenon of slavery, he faced many cruel forces,
like seeing enslaved men and women being tortured, which aggravates and brings more to light
slavery’s hideous nature. Finally, among other things he blames the unbearable psychological
trauma of slavery with the confusion of powerless and unworthy person. For instance, critics like

Brewton analyze Douglass's narrative point out that the idea of respect and self-making was the
anticipated core of manhood. In addition, we delve into the gendered issues surrounding his
autobiography. This juxtaposition of masculinity and resistance to tyranny in this narrative and
other autobiographies is vital to our understanding of the narrator and will help readers
Through "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," Harriet Jacobs exposes an in-depth,
powerful insight into gender enslavement, referring to the very special kind of its which is
experienced by women. Jacobs portrays the unique hardships that were imposed on female slaves
in a masterful way, emphasizing the fact that everything they underwent was so destructive or
decrepit. At the center of Jacobs's narrative is the argument that the slaves suffer the most of
women. Indeed, she goes to reveal this with the utmost clarity. A great example of a painful
reality of women’s lives is this peculiar kind of suffering they have to go through in a society
built on slave trade. Varied forms of this suffering might include sex exploitation and
objectification, loss of independence and being deprived of doing things on their own. In
addition, Jacobs reduces her own ordeals of sexual harassment and assault in which she was
twice sold by her master and then severely beaten, thus helping to further explain the
Moreover, she further clarifies how female slaves are subjected to combined form of oppression
by focusing on the aspect of denial of the motherhood and reproductive capacity that are being

In the "Incidence of a Life of a Slave Girl", which is written by Jacobs strongly shows
gendered aspects of slavery through the life of women. Jacobs stresses the role of these women
depicting the special belittlement which exists only in slavery system. These women face the
gender-based oppression and violence which permeate all of the slavery system. Sugarinta shete,
with finesse emphasizes the more awful effects on women slavery than men, therefore
recognizing, and the intersectional of the oppression. Jacobs puts down in a detailed way the
several incidences whereby, the women were sexually abused, exploited and their rights denied,
which features the dehumanizing moral effects of slavery on bodies and identities of women. In
her narrative, Jacobs describes what some may call the complexity of motherhood in institutions
with the exposure of the painful choices which exist in all enslaved women. Through the exercise
of secondary sources, e.g. O'Malley's analysis, we have a better understanding of the dimensions
of disproportionality of gender in seized or mourned society and the strong social consequences.
O'Malley's criticism of Jacobs' narrative emphasizes how storytelling is a strategic tool used to
illustrate the intersectional oppression experienced by enslaved females, leaving a crucial lesson
for us to learn which is that the power and resistance exhibited by these women are unique and
complex. (Drake, 1997)By means of both Jacobs's remembered narrative and The Legacy of
Gender-based Violence and Exploitation in the History of American Slavery, we are led to the
inevitable thought that the cross-generational transmission of female servitude and sexual

Conclusion:

narrative is on gender inequality like men maledictions and dehumanization while Jacobs
narration emphasize on the forms of mistreatment and subjugation peculiar to the females.
Douglass purely highlights the struggle of male plantation slaves to recover masculinity and
regain their humanity, meanwhile Jacobs concentrates on the female slavery nature which is
infiltrated and encompassed all by sexual violence and body ownership loss.

oppression that operated specifically against enslaved men and women, we are better informed
about the social mechanisms that cut across race, gender, and power structures that affected the
enslaved men and women. This promotion gives us a base on which we can build and thus begin
to challenge the prejudice and falsehoods that are ingrained in our present-day historical
narratives and a platform to see the strength and determination which was shown by enslaved

empathy and solidarity and the fact that righteousness in overcoming the past and the way to a
new society has to be based on solidarity and empathy. With a critical eye we penetrate to the
very core of the notion that the slave narratives are made up of multiple forces that are often
intertwined like race, gender, and power. The slave narratives, because, among other things, they
present their stories as a shining example of the enduring legacy of slavery and the ongoing
struggle to achieve freedom and equality, are essential in our understanding of the time.
