Equiano's writing on the Middle Passage is the section of the work most likely to end up in anthologies for history and literature classes. It is a profoundly evocative and devastating account of one of the most terrible events in human history: the forcible removal of millions of Africans from their home, and their subsequent transportation across the Atlantic in slave ships, under the most abominable and hellish conditions imaginable. Slaves were chained to the hold and had to perform their bodily functions while chained. Excrement and refuse were everywhere, and the air was heavy with noxious, harmful smells. There was no privacy, even for women and girls. Slaves could not move about, and barely escaped without their limbs atrophying. They rarely had enough to eat or drink, and would grow sick in droves. The cries of pain, terror, and grief filled the air at all times. Many had no idea why they were there, and were frightened of the white faces on the ship. Individuals were severed from their families and thrust together with strangers whose languages they could not speak. Many were beaten mercilessly. It was so terrible that many slaves wished for death, but even this was rarely possible by one's own volition. Equiano's account is a valuable source for examining the realities of the slave system, for its evocative writing and historical perspective.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is Ask yourself which sentence is the topic sentence.

Explanation:

One of the main methods to identify supporting details is to be able <u>to recognize the main idea of the text.</u> This is essential to understand what the author meant.

You can follow three steps to identify them:

  • Identify the topic: To achieve this, you must ask yourself <em>"What is the text about?" </em>
  • Identify the idea the author wants to convey: To achieve this, you must ask yourself <em>"What does the author wants me to know about the subject?"</em>
  • Identify the details that support the author's main idea: To achieve this you must take the answer obtained by asking “What is the text about?”, and add it to the answer obtained from the question “What does the author want to know about the topic? “ And then find a phrase in the text that best matches those answers.
