Personal Slave response

The passage that I feel most represented slavery in the book was when Linda met Luke. Luke was another slave but with a terrible master who beat him for the most moronic and superfluous reasons. And when Luke’s master started to get weak from sickness and barely had any energy to do anything at all but to survive, he still, still found some energy to beat Luke for stupid and moronic reasons, or calling someone else to do it for him. After Linda saw this she was extremely appalled by this act, especially all the beatings when this old sick man was on his deathbed. That is what I feel is the passage that represents slavery most in the book.

wat up tony is jamar. I agree with you, your passage was strong it deals with the worst part of slavery. I think it was really wrong of his master to beat Luke even when he was sick. That shows how bad slavery can be.
