Activity The writers of slave narratives wrote about their experiences to make readers aware of the evils of slavery and support the abolitionist movement. Most slave narratives had many common themes such as the importance of education in eliminating ignorance and apathy, the importance of loving family ties, the pain of losing or being separated from family, the determination to escape slavery no matter what the cost, the physical and mental abuse that is inflicted on slaves, and the ability of slave owners to justify their cruel actions with religion and other methods. These themes appealed to readers emotions and greatly helped to popularize slave narratives. In this activity, you will explore the themes and structures of this lesson's reading selections: My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass and Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Ann Jacobs.
