Harriet Ann Jacobs known to the public as Linda Brent and Frederick Douglass both were the victims of slavery and succeed to escape its clutches. As they possessed the skill of literateness, after becoming free members of the American society, they decided to write down their experiences of living as slaves to share what they had witnessed. Consequently, “Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl” is the fruit of Linda Brent’s labor, and Frederic Douglass delivered his testimony in “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave”. Additionally, this is not the point where their similarities diminish. They were also involved into abolitionist movement and work as social reformers which gained them recognition and esteem amid Northerners.

Blue can evoke intelligence and sophistication, and again a sense of loyalty and submission, something Esperanza clearly confirmed when unwillingly kissed the man. The essence of the chapter truly the loss of innocence, but the colour blue is linked with the common theme of young submission and ignorance. In the chapter, “Born Bad” (58-61), Esperanza is further exposed to the realities of death. Esperanza, in an innocent tangent to show her death-struck aunt an illustration from a book, is told that “I [Esperanza’s aunt] can’t see it, she said, I’m blind.

Azaleas stand out because they are able to grow even in harsh and unbearable conditions.

However, during the nineteenth century medical practice advanced substantially. The invention of procedures such as the speculum and D&C (dilation and curettage) along with people learning about the dangers of bacterial infections are presumably the most significant ones. In addition to this new techniques involving usage of anesthesia surfaced. It was, for the first time in history, possible to perform safe abortions and yet — along with these improvements — came the criminalization of abortion.

Ultimately, despite the fact that the both Mr. Lindo and Appleby are considered slave owners, Mr. Lindo properly clothed, fed as well as educated Aminata. However, Appleby physically abused Aminata as well as forced her to wear a dirty handkerchief around her waist.
