In Olaudah Equiano, The Interesting Narrative, a passage I found interesting in chpaters 7-9 was in chapter 7 he states, “I used also to go with the captain, at his own desire, to attend him; especially when we saw there was no appearance of his recovery; and in order to recompense me for my trouble,… Continue reading Gisela late work – Equiano 2

It demonstrates his character… Continue reading Erin Lee – Equiano (2)
