Harriet Jacobs wrote extensively about life both on and off the plantation. Read Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl and answer ONE of the prompts below in a 2-3 page paper. Full pages too.

Try not to use long quotations in your paper. I want to know what YOU think in your own words. Use Chicago/Turabian style citations. Please consult this guide. You must use complete sentences.
