Two part reading response " Incident in the life of a slave girl".
Harriet Jacobs describes in her story her experiences as a female slave and the terror of women rights at the hands of a men. Her story is painful and this is obvious since at the beginning whrn she says " I was born to be a slave". The reasons why she was writing was not only to reveal the suffering of slaves but also the extreme gender inequality. Although there is treated the difference between white and black people. Harriet provides how difficult is to be a slave and motivate awaken the female rights in the period of time. An women whose destiny is to be a slave have a different point of view, education and humanity. As we read, we see that there are men who try to abused women sexually. Harriet provides that she's strong for her children and she won't give up. She was so brave as she break the glass ceiling through the gender and race. Harriet fights for her right as an women, as a human being and set up the stepping stone for ending the slavery disappearance.
