Answer:

The point of view that can be found in the excerpts from Olaudah Equiano's memoir is the First-Person Narrative.

The purpose of Olaudah for beginning the narrative with details of his village in Nigeria is to educate his European audience with African culture and custom and how the whole community of slaves are ill-treated by white people.

Explanation:

'The Life of Olaudah Equiano' is a memoir of Olaudah Equinao. The memoir narrates the life of Equinao in slavery and how he purchased his freedom.

The memoir is compiled with the letters of Olaudah and his memoir. In both the writings there is different point of narrative used. In letters we can find the third person narrative, whereas in the memoir the first-person narrative. Both the narratives has helped to build the author's credibility. So, the point of view that can be viewed in the memoir's is the first person narrative.

Equinao begin his narrative with the details describing his village in Nigeria with the purpose to educate his European audience with the cultures and customs of Africa. He described the details of his village depicting the difference between African and English cultures. He, then, aimed at pointing out the slavery system in his own country due to the racial hierarchy formed by white people in Africa. He points out the inhuman treatment of slaves by white people.
