The Interesting Narrative of the life of Olaudah Equiano

The Interesting Narrative of the life of Olaudah Equiano was a sad story because to read about what these people went through was depressing, yet not shocking. We read about stories about this type of behavior a few times a year in history and occasionally in English class. It makes me sad because younger kids than me go days without eating; when they do eat, they eat something that is old, disgusting, and raw. Kids in the 21st century are so spoiled and should be happy and considerate that their parents are even thinking of them and can protect them. It hurts me to know that the parents of these kids, back in Olaudah's time, can do absolutely nothing to protect their kids when they want to so bad. I'm blessed to be born in this time period where kids have the option to work and actually have a shot at a career. All in all, I feel sorry these families and we are just so lucky that we have freedom and justice in America.
