As I was reading this narrative some things stuck out to me. For instance what the slaves recieved as clothes and food was barely anything. The worst thought was that the children unable to work didn’t get shoes, stockings, jackets, nor trousers given to them. I personally think that the songs the slaves are very powerful. I remember in choir a long time ago we sang a song that the slaves sang and I was too young to understand it then but now as i remember the lyrics I can picture the meaningfull emotions through the song. I think for most the songs the slaves sang fill us with sadness and sympathy for the slaves. I think the hardest thing to think about for me as that this actually happened and still today their is segregation between color and race. It is incredible to see how slaves could ever smile and laugh under the horrible and cruel circumstances, which were put on them by the brutal slaveholders. I think it is amazing that they were able to create these songs and spirituals while undergoing the bad conditions. By these songs you can tell that the slaves never wanted to give up and they wanted one day to become free. This was a very interesting and powerful narrative and I enjoyed reading about it.
