Slave girl ch. 1-9

Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl has been quite intriguing so far. The novel had to be truth because it is based on history and actual events. If the book were fiction, then the events could not have the meaning that they possess. The editor was right in not cleaning up any of the story in terms of language or content because that is what gives the novel its power and relativity to the time period. The language of the narrator shows the level of education and expresses the true feelings of that person. Content in any novel should never be changed. Altering it would not allow the events to have the same amount of meaning. The exact details are always good. This novel is telling the life of one girl’s struggles in slavery and how she is overcoming it day by day. I look forward to the rest of it.
