"Reading these personal accounts of slavery is so interesting to me. It amazes me that this truly was what America was like during this time period. It makes me wonder what future Americans will look back at with amazement... what do we do now that will be considered outrageous in the future?"
"I wouldn't say "I really liked it" sums this up properly, it is too happy sounding. These are two separate slave narratives. I have read several slave narratives but Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs' stories stick with me the most. They are terrible sad stories but they are important to read. We have a lot to learn from the past..."
"Every American should read Douglass' narrative. It's a must to understand our ruthless past. We tend to forget in our post-modern era all the sins of the past...if we forget we will (and are) repeating them.
We also come to expect literacy as a no-brainer. All those spelling tests as kids drove us nuts. Some people will never pick up a book. Here's the story of the importance of literacy and how he learned to read and write by determination and even trickery. Literacy led to Douglass' freedom and then his self-identity as a freed man.
Jacob's narrative gives us a view of the feminine condition in slavery. It's pertinent to feminism today."
"It was a very inspiring book about slave women. Her life when she was a girl and preyed upon by her master, and when she was a women how she fought to keep herself hidden for years in a tiny attic that left her disformed for the rest of her life. How she finally got her freedom, and was finally free from her old master."
