AML1600 Module 2 Discussion 2

After reading an excerpt from “The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano,” participate in the discussion, THE POWER OF PERSONAL NARRATIVE.

In a substantive initial post (at least 200 words with CITED examples from the text), share your thoughts and impressions of Equiano’s narrative. SOME QUESTIONS TO HELP GUIDE YOUR RESPONSE: What elements of storytelling stuck out to you? How does Equiano use scene, sensory details, and figurative language to craft voice in the piece? What images, characters, or plot sequences are clear in your mind and why do you think those images, characters, or scenes stayed with you? What is the tone of the work? How does Equiano’s experience give credence to the historical contexts of chattel slavery? What themes or overarching messages are you left with after reading?
