Write Up Epithetical Books Twelve Years a Slave

Racism sucks, inn't? Its kind of fucking shit-Daniel Kaluuya 2018 Liiiisteen the movie is better. Its obviously an interesting read but some times its extremely slow and boring. There are things that just dont have to be constantly explained in detail. I had not then learned the measure of "man's inhumanity to man," nor to what limitless extent of wickedness he will go for the love of gain Slave owners treated slaves like animalssome of them treated them worse than animals. How fucked up do

12 Years a Slave is probably the most unique slave book that I've read so far because I can't say that I have ever read about a free person being kidnapped and sold into slavery. The concept was new to me and I imagine it was probably very common considering that is full profit for a slave trader (not having to buy a slave and then sale for profit). I can't say that I absolutely loved his book. I also can't say that I believe most of what was written to be a fact. What I believe is that he was

Slavery is an abomination. The United States was from its independence from England a nation that relied heavily on slavery. It was not a land of equality and it did not offer freedom for all. This book is an autobiography written by Solomon Northup, a free Black kidnapped and taken into slavery for twelve years. He was from Upper-state New York. He played the fiddle. Given a proposition to earn extra money doing just this, he agreed to travel to Washington D.C. It was here he was kidnapped and

I know it's a genuine slave narrative, but it is just one-note. It concentrates on episode after episode of intense and repeated physical abuse. I don't doubt its veracity but there are far more nuanced - and readable - narratives out there. Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is about life as a slave when not being physically abused. For most slave owners slaves were extremely expensive farm animals and only the richest who could afford 'herds' of them would be able to maltreat them on a

Distressing, powerful and fascinating. This offers up an interesting, and in some ways, singular perspective into a part in history. Although some people may compare it to other narratives of the same time and find them more valid, I disagree - this is one mans experience of Slavery in the south and an experience equally worth reading about.

A lot of people are saying this book reads like a novel, but I couldn't disagree more. It reads like a man telling his life story, which is fascinating, giving what the man became for twelve years, but not as engrossing as some of the new journalism that came out in the 60s and 70s by people like Hunter S. Thompson and Norman Mailer. Call it a book of its time. I actually saw the movie before I read the book, and there's an interesting difference. The movie is about the life of a slave, while

What difference is there in the color of the soul? A powerful and apparently true firsthand account from Solomon Northup, a free black man, tricked and sold to slavery after which he was rescued 12 years hence.I can say that it was chilling, heart breaking, gut wrenching, atrocious and none of these words can aptly describe Solomon Northup's experience as told in this memoir. The brutality of the slave masters is so finely detailed, the complete lack of justice so well elucidated and the story
