Why does Douglass describe his fight with Covey in such detail in his memoir, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass?

As a consequence of his fight with Covey, Douglass meets Anna, a free black woman he eventually marries.

The fight with Covey is at the heart of every lecture Douglass gives when he speaks at anti-slavery rallies.

Deciding to fight back against Covey’s beatings is a turning point for Douglass that leads him to resolve to escape from slavery.

By defeating Covey in the fight, Douglass wins his freedom from the cruel slave overseer and begins a new life in the North.
