Status Updates From Classic Slave Narratives

Reading this one for my US history, but we're only reading 2 out of the 4 narratives. Currently reading the Frederick Douglass one...extremely interesting and horrifying all at once.

Linda Brent's life needs to be a movie. It would be horror but I can see it on the big screens.

Finished Mary Prince and Asa-asa's narratives. Comparing their stories with Olaudah's is basically getting up from a really horrible dream to a complete fucking nightmare. It escalated.

This is a difficult read.

One narrative down, two more to go. Olaudah's story is interesting because it broke my expectation of what slave narratives tend to be which is mostly slaving away in plantations. Also, the Caribbean was hell on Earth, it seems like. The last few pages were incredibly dry though.

FREEEEDOOOOOOOM!!

A very fascinating read! Already the first writer kind of went beyond my expectations with his memoir of being a slave on a war ship! It's completely different from the accounts of slaves living in plantations I've been reading so far.
