Your Assignment: Using the Slave Narratives from Henry Bibb, Solomon Northup, and Harriet Jacobs in the document posted below, answer the following three questions thoroughly and specifically, including multiple examples and short quotes from each of the narrators in all three of the questions: 1) Each of the narratives describes aspects of enslaved people’s daily work, their family relations, and overall culture. Of those categories, what aspects did the three individuals experience in common, and in what ways did they differ? 2) Each of the narrators describes a confrontation between a slave and a master. What were the common elements of these confrontations, and what was different about Harriet Jacob’s confrontation from the two men? What does that suggest about the different methods men and women used to resist their owners? 3) Slave narratives were written by African Americans, but read mostly by northern whites. Where do you see evidence that the narrators possibly had a white audience in mind? And, what ideas and impressions of slavery were they trying to impart to their readers. Attention!
