Description


Essay 2 is due this week. Write a 500-750 word essay on one of the following topics.

1. Review Mary Rowlandson's narrative as a faith narrative instead of a capture narrative. If instead of viewing the work as an attempt to tell the true story of a capture, it is read as a reaffirmation of faith in God, how does that change the meaning?

2. Discuss the idea of the Reliable Narrator in one of the authors read up until this point. Use specific examples from outside sources and the text to show why it should or should not be believed that this author is reliable.

3. Think about this rather surprising statement: It has been suggested that Olaudah Equiano may not have been born in Africa, but in South Carolina. If this were true, does his birthplace change the way we read and evaluate this memoir? Does this possibility affect its viability or reliability as a source on slavery and the slave trade?

4. Compare or contrast two individuals from weeks one through four who best illuminate important themes of America during the time period covered. Define the themes you’ll write about, and then discuss what precisely in the writing defines those themes. Discuss these themes as they relate to current day approach or understanding.

Your essay should be formatted in MLA style, including double spacing throughout. All sources should be properly cited both in the text and on a works cited page. As with most academic writing, this essay should be written in third person. Please avoid both first person (I, we, our, etc.) and second person (you, your).

commonly known as slaves in their new homes. They could be used to sever their masters. They
had no rights whatsoever regarding what the owner demanded. Slave trade was mostly exercised
in Africa. Traders from the west targeted Africa because they perceived Africans as illiterate.
The white had the notion that enslavement was their right. Many Africans slaves fought against
either freed slaves or enslaved fought against the inhumane trade. During the colonial era,
colonialist forced those in their colonies to work for them without pay. Slave trade was against
all righteous acts and went against the doctrine of equity (Equiano 3).
Olaudah Equiano was born in Eboe...
