Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl Ch. 1-9

If Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl were not true it would not be credible or believable, and it would not of made as big of an impact on its readers. It is important for the events that happened to Linda to be the real deal to connect deeper with the reader and for them to realize what life was like for a slave girl. It’s authentic knowing this is a story of what actually happened during that time period. If the editor were to have cleaned up the language I feel that would of taken away from the realistic ness and rawness. It would have also taken away from the personal tone and the appeal to pathos. This book was able to touch its readers by allowing amount of emotion show through the word choice and credibility.
