Slave Narrative






Slave Narrative:



This slave is 36 years old and her name is Alice Port living in Pensilvania. She was 16 years old when some people came along and took her and her family. They captured them and assigned them as them as their slaves. Alice had her parents and 7 brothers and sisters older then her. She was the youngest member of their family.





Alice's master was Phillip Mcbride. He would treat his slaves badly, he tortured them by hitting them most of the time for a little wrong thing they did. If his slaves failed to do an order he would hit them on their hands till they bleed. Or their master would leave them without eating for about two days.




When Alice turned 19 she started to get an education, and later on she would teach the master's kinds (5) how to read and write. When a cuple of years passed by one of the master's child passed away. He had cancer and so he died at a young age. Ever since the master's child died, he would spend most of the time in his room locked in there and wouldn't really eat, and he changed alot. Before his child died, he would be really mean and would care about how his slaves did their job. And now he wouldn't care how his slaves did their job and wouldn't tell them anything if they had done it wrong.






After a while Alice's master, Phillip got really sick from a fever, and was dying. That's when her master Phillip signed a paper saying that Alice was a free slave as long as her family, and a week or two after she was free the master died leaving his 4 children left to Alice. Alice then raised the children as if they were hers and they later grew up and lived their own life seperetly.




At age 30 she had a child called Manolo, then moved to California and lived there for the rest of her life.

The Things I Value The Most:




One of the things that i value the most is my family. I value my family the most because, they are who I learn from, and who teach me how to be me. I learn from their and my mistakes and they help me to get better. My parents give me good advice as for my future and for my life. My older sister she helps me how to get better at some things, and makes sure i don't do wrong things like she did, sje make me improve my actions. My sister also helps by trusting in me and telling me her private secrets and she helps me trust her as well.











The second thing I value the most are my friends. I thing my friends are a big part of me and my family in many ways. My friends are people I can trust at not all but most of the times. Freinds are like our brothers and sisters, we can trust them, have fun with them, be with them, and share ideas and secrets with them. I think our friends are a big part of us.
