One of the excerpts from Mary Prince which was most significant was when Mary Prince was a little girl. When she was a little girl she was faced with the hardships of being a slave in the 1800s. When she was a little girl her mom and her sisters were being sold off to other white people. The person who bought her was a captain who bought her for her granddaughter. This was significant because this showed how cruel and unjust the world was. It showed how cruel a person can be in terms of treating people. According to Mary the years spent as a pet to Betsey were the best years of her life. Betsey referred to her as “little nigger” and treated Mary like a dog. When Mary was sold off and separated from Miss Betsey she was devastated, because she knew that it was the best she was ever gonna get treated.
