How did Frederick learn how to write?
What is competition with any boy who he knew could write. "After that, when I met with any boy who I knew could write, I would tell him I could write as well as he. The next word would be, 'I don't believe you. Let me see you try it.' I would then make the letters which I had been so fortunate to learn, and ask him to beat that. In this way I got a good many lessons in writing, which it is quite possible I should never have gotten in any other way."

How does Frederick feel about his masters now that he has learned to read? Why?

I could regard them in no other light than a band of successful robbers, who had left their homes, and gone to Africa, and stolen us from our homes, and in a strange land reduced us to slavery. I loathed them as being the meanest as well as the most wicked of men."

How did Frederick act to benefit himself, even though it angered Master Thomas?
What is he let Master Thomas's horse run away so that he'd have to chase after it and end up at his father-in-law's farm, where he could find food. "My reason for this kind of carelessness, or carefulness, was, that I could always get something to eat when I went there. Master William Hamilton, my master’s father-in-law, always gave his slaves enough to eat. I never left there hungry, no matter how great the need of my speedy return."
