Entry 7
Jacob's rhetorical strategy allows him to portray to the reader of the struggles of slavery. His numerous accounts of telling "white lies" to keep himself out of trouble or him being falsely accused of a deed he didnt committ sent an underlying message that there was no way possible to be a slave and live normal fair lifestyle. If he didn't tell lies to keep himself out of trouble he would have been flogged until he had little energy left to live, therefore as a result of blaming someone else for his wrong doings they were in turn flogged and he had to live with that amongst his conscious. The brief accounts of his family being soldway while he was at work spill a thick layer of guilt amongst abolishonists. Frederick Douglass ties into this same strategies as they share the same insight towards the highly visible inconsistencies of slavery. Mary Prince states "slavery is terrible for men, but way more terrible for women" as a way to show neither gender had a chance for fair treatment.
