Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl: Chapter 1-5...
The first part of the book is all about her childhood and how her family changed as time went on. In my opinion, the point of this book is to get under your skin and make you feel sorry for the characters. If the editor had taken some stuff out, changed stuff around, or changed the language then it wouldn't be moving. If the incidents are fake and made up then it won't be as shocking when you read it. She's talking about how her family is getting sold and dying, imagine if it was fake, you wouldn't feel anyting towards them. Or at least, I wouldn't.

Alright Sas, this is a pretty good post but I disagree with you in one point you make. I dont think the point of the book is to get under your skin and make you feel sorry, I think that its to make you experience slave life as Linda did. You are going to feel sorry for her, but that's not the main point, you are supposed to feel the hurt that she does and you are supposed to see what it was like for slaves. I do agree with what you said about the editor though. Good job, BUM!
