The section I found most interesting was Esquino’s Narrative because it was actual events that occurred in his life. I felt as a reader I connected more to Esquino’s story in an emotional level from the start of the narrative making it more compelling. I can’t imagine going through the situations Esquino had to endure as a slave throughout his life in order to survive. This text mentions some of the struggles he went through while at times he just wanted to throw his hands up in the air and just give up on life, “…on my refusing to eat, one of them held me fast by the hands, and laid me across I think the windlass, and tied my feet, while the other flogged me severely” (Volume E, 93). Flogging someone because they refused to eat seems an extreme
