![]() ![]() Also, Equiano described his experiences in a vivid form where I could picture the sensory details. With Equiano being a former slave, well-educated individual, and a public speaker, he knew in the near future he could have made a major impact on banning slavery for all slaves. His second target audience, were future African American slaves, newspaper writers during that time period, future historians, and future generations of students like myself because he knew that slaves are not well educated, and he could make a major impact with it. ![]() In my opinion, Equiano had two target audiences, the audience he was trying to attract the most were, the British Politicians who were arguing over the Slave Trade in Parliament. Olaudah Equiano’s main purpose of writing this narrative was to explain the harsh conditions of African American slaves lived in and how they were treated. In the following paragraphs I will be critiquing Equiano’s narrative in various ways. This narrative is well dissected in comprehensive detail that goes in depth about the time when he was kidnapped along with his sister, being around numerous masters in Africa, and how the Guerin sisters taught him how to read and write. Not only does it illustrate his own narrative, but some key details such as: how he bought his freedom, what he did with his freedom, and how he became an abolitionist and public speaker. To begin with, this narrative of Olaudah Equiano is extremely powerful and inspirational. ![]()
