For this is assignment, I want you to write a critical essay that you have based on a burning question/issue/topic that arose during your reading of the narrative.

Here are some topics to consider: How does Jacob’s narrative shape opinions about different classes of southern people? How does Jacob’s narrative shape opinions about the north? Why does Linda talk about her great grandmother during the Revolutionary War? What influence does the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 have on Linda and other slaves? What type of power does Dr. Flint have over his wife and slaves? What does Jacob’s narrative say about laws and the participation of citizens? What does Jacob’s narrative say about human trafficking?
