Stream of Consciousness- Refers to an attempt on the part of an author to reproduce the unembellished flow of thought in the human mind with its feelings, judgements, associations and memories.
Example: "I do not remember to have ever met a slave that could tell of his birthday."
(Frederick Douglass Pg,1)
Douglass is trying to recall back to see if he could actually remember of a slave who could actually tell his birthday. He lets us know that slaves had no knowledge of anything about them.
