In this narrative, I expect to more about of the horrors of slavery. Most pieces concerning slavery that I have read have been viciously against the practice. I believe that this narrative will be no different. I have chosen the narative of Isaac Mason, and while I do not yet know his story, I do not think that it will in any way support slavery. Based on previous knowledge of slavery, I am almost certain that this narrative will concern some sort of personal dealings with slavery. Past examples have shown that slaves were beaten and tortured if they tried to run away, and sometimes simply because their masters felt like it. During the time that we have been reading Huckleberry Finn, we have dicussed some of the attrocities commited against slaves. I expect that this narrative will only help to more accurately portray slavery. I believe that in addition to telling of some of these atrocities, this narrative may help to show how just how it feels to be owned by someone else. In Huck Finn, Jim does not run away because he is phisically abused but instead because he wants to live his own life. His goal is to reunite his family and live as a free man. I believe that much like these past examples, this slave narrative will help introduce just what it would feel like to be owned.
