1. The most memorable part in Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is the part where Linda hides for “nearly seven years” (Jacobs122) in a place where mosquitoes can't even bear to enter (101). Reading chapter after chapter about Linda hiding in such an uncomfortable space was enough to make my hatred of slavery even worse than I ever imagined. For freedom, he lay day after day in a place where he was unable to get up and move easily (96). I thought about how she was so close to her children, yet unable to share their young lives (96). I could almost feel the cold and heat from the open exposure of the “thin shingle roof” (98). This tears my thoughts beyond my understanding. She is memorable to me because she suffered more in her attempts to be free than she talked about suffering in slavery. She said that her life as a slave was “relatively free of hardship” (96), but she was willing to imprison herself in a horrible and harrowing hideout. He gave up involuntary servitude for voluntary confinement. She had nothing to protect her. All he had was freedom from emotional abuse, moral filth, and sexual abuse. I have to ask myself: was it worth the pain? Or what more could have been done?2. Jacobs suggests that slavery affects both owners and slaves. In his book I see that slavery “deadens the moral sense” of owners (Jacobs 33). Mr. Flint was also “father of eleven slaves” (32), but did not hesitate to sell them or call himself “their master” (33). Slave owners viewed their slaves as property and did with them whatever they thought was appropriate. Mr. Flint emotionally abused Linda with "restless, lustful, vicious... biting words" in the middle of the paper... customs are evident in both stories where wealth controls the poor and white Americans control immigrants . Both slaves and factory workers would have to pay a high cost for a better life, money talks.8. Peers – Do you think America still has the mentality that race puts a person in a different social position than others? Are there current examples where we can see race portrayed as evil, like the people of color in Incidents in the Life of a Slave? Works Cited Jacobbs, Harriet. Incidents in the life of a slave.
