    Answer: Ben Franklin and Frederick Douglass write the stories of their lives, but Douglass's narrative is inner directed and reveals his innermost thoughts, while Franklin's is outer directed and he writes with posterity in mind. Douglass writes of his suffering in slavery. On the very first page, he says, "A want of information concerning my own [life] was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood." Douglass often uses metaphors and symbols to represent his yearning for freedom. For example, when he looks at the sail boats moving out of Chesapeake Bay towards the ocean, he clearly associates them with his desire to escape north and find freedom.
