Indeed such were the horrors of my views and fears at the moment, that, if ten thousand worlds had been my own, I would have fre

ely parted with them all to have exchanged my condition with that of the meanest slave in my own country. When I looked round the ship too and saw a large furnace or copper boiling, and a multitude of black people of every description chained together, every one of their countenances expressing dejection and sorrow, I no longer doubted of my fate; and, quite overpowered with horror and anguish, I fell motionless on the deck and fainted.

When Equiano boarded the slave ship and saw the condition of the other captives, he realized that his fate would be similar to theirs. He knew that he was being taken away to a faraway land, where there would be more misery and more uncertainty. He felt that, if given the opportunity, he would have preferred the life of a slave in his homeland, where he was familiar with the territory, people, and language. The fear of the unknown was overpowering for him.

Slavery was different in the new world since they were not treated as people but as animals and in his home country he knew how slavery worked and how slaves were actually treated as people. He would be a slave at his own home gladly compared to this because he sees the horror around him and the way that the white people are intimidating and completely different from anything he had ever seen.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

I was walking home one day and something strange started to happen. The air turns black around me. I thought it was nothing I thought it was just pollution in the air we got to water pollution where I'm from. I was wrong to think that I tried not to breathe it in I covered my mouth the whole way home. when I got home my mom looked at me slowly walked over to me and shook me "did you breathe in that black air?" she said. I was quite confused but I said no then she said "oh Lord my baby you'll be safe and Mama's arms." that air out there is dangerous she started quivering and shaking and whispered it's starting to turn people into zombies. I looked at her and did my mind I was scared but I wanted to put on a brave face in front of my mama I told her" I'm not scared of no zombies I have you and that's all I need and with you by me we can defeat them all." truth be told I was scared out of my mind I just didn't want to say nothing I was holding back my tears because I was so scared I just wanted to cry. we had a bunker under our house so I believe we will be safe there we grab all our food and head for that bunker as fast as we could. when we got into the bunker I couldn't hold it anymore I started crying my mother looked at me and told me " it's all right pumpkin we will be safe our friends and family will be safe you have nothing to worry about the coming to Mama's arms and stop crying because I got you."
