  3. Text Purpose • Why do you think the author wrote this book? To explain the details about slavery. • Who do you think the intended audience is for this book. Young adults and adults.

  4. TextStructure The text structure in this book is really weird. Because in the book it is written how the slaved used to talk. For example. In the book, instead of then saying “master,” they say “massa.” And that is exactly how it is written in the book. So the text structure is shows how the slaves used to talk in those days.

  5. Text Representation -In this passage it contrasts what used to be done and what is done. -In this passage it compares what was done before and what now. -They were both slaves • Describes more thoroughly how the • masters treated the slaves. -In this passage, it gives an example of what the slaves do, and what their owner does in return. -Both passages state that slaves were treated badly. • In this passage, Alice sounds resentful • of what happened to the slaves. -In both passages they compare what it was then and now how it is. -In this passage it tells what a slave would do if it does something wrong.

  12. Opinions

  13. Reading Response 1. Not all slaves marched in coffles. Some were shipped by steamboat. • Why didn’t they always take the steamboat? 2. We entered some negroes’ huts, for their habitations cannot be called houses. • When I hear the word “huts,” I think about a small tent made out of tree branches. 3. And when it got so they could go to the other end of the field, the trough was filled with water and every baby in it was floating round in the water, drowned. - That is sad that the babies drowned, but at least they did not have to become a slave like the others.
