Explanation / Answer
With this prehistorical event of human society in the africa for which they are saperately known as the africans, Olaudah Equiano begins his understanding with the interesting narratives. the incident taken fron the age of him when he was about 11 years old was abducted from his lbo village and then he was put and sold in the market of slavery. from that time, about 30 years laters when he was a grown up man with tag of slavery in the slave area, he wrote his first autobiography.
In the meanwhile they were suffered a lot of tortured life in the slavery. they were the africans who was always taken as born for the slavery. they don't have there own right and choices as well as the generations of them were directly taken in the slavery after they aged upto 10-11 years old. the slavery in the west africa was going to be worst when they were bruetly tortured and work for a life long terms of slavery. they were taken as sold or buy in the business and send them yo diferent nations of the world like england, america. but Olaudah was take it another way. in that time many slaves were illiterate but he was little bit literarte and by work as slavery he gained more knowledge and then he realised that he should write about the life story of him and the people of his kind. in his first chapter he wrote about the beginning of the life as slavery. in the second chapter, he described that how he and his sister was kidnapped for the sold in slavery at the little age. in third chapter he described that he was living in england for many time and at that time he never mind what is he and thought himself to be an englishmen. in forth chapter he was sold to another master known as robert king. in chapter six, he explained that many tortured and in human kind of happening takes place with him as a slavery life accidents. and at last chapter, he described that he went out for freedom by the money he got from slavery and then he published his autobiography and hence fought for the right of africans.
1) when he considered himself as an englishman rather than to be a slave. i think that he had a strong mantality and feelings that make him uneffected from the situation he was suffering.
2) because the the tendency of south was to be like something inferior as a human society and taken themselves as a downward people in compare to the other citizens of other nations like U.S.
3) the native american and indians always have the loe for their own culture and they thought that if they adopt another culture then their ethics and moral responsibilities for their traditions and culture will be lost and lose respect and standard in the front of other culture and they taken it as slavery.
