Becuase I forgot to do the pre-reading post, I will quickly say what I initially wanted to find out when reading the slave narrative.  From reading slave narratives previously, I knew that the individual experience of each slave is different in many ways, yet they all have similar aspects.  Most narratives are stories of how slaves break free of slavery and the oppression of their owners.  While reading the narrative, I expected to find out about the unique experience of the slave that wrote it as well as how similar it is to the other slave narratives that I have read in the past.
