The History of Mary Prince (Pages 1-19) .  one the things that I like about this story is that Mr. Mary starts her story by telling us how was her childhood as slave. ” The tasks given out to us children were light, and we used to play together with Miss Betsey, with as much freedom almost as if she had been our sister.” page 1, passage 3. In this passage I found that her age was of great importance because as a child, she didn’t understand how difficult would be her life as slave. However, all the happiness that she thought having it begins to fade when she is sold to another person. At this point in her life is when she realizes, which is her true position as slave. Since she sees that she does not have the right to oppose to so much injustice.

Another important that I found really interesting is when she says “.–Dear Miss Fanny! She was a sweet, kind young lady, and so fond of me that she wished me to learn all that she knew herself; and her method of teaching me was as follows:–Directly she had said her lessons to her grandmamma, she used to come running to me, and make me repeat them one by one after her; and in a few months I was able not only to say my letters but to spell many small words.” page 2. which is really important about this is although she was hold as salve, she had the chance to start something really important in her lifer which was her education. something that the slaves didn’t have access at time. which for her should be an important step towards her freedom.
