I expect to find that the slave narratives are about the ways that slave’s are treated and how the lifestyles of their masters was so different.  I already know that there were huge differences between slaves and their masters.  Slaves weren’t even considered to be human beings, so they experienced a lot of racism and were not treated well at all.  While their owners prospered off of their labors, slaves were forced to work ridiculously hard with no payment and if they refused, they would be whipped or beaten.  I suspect that the slave narratives will be about a slave’s perspective of their conditions and slavery, and that should be very interesting because it would be an opinion from when slavery actually happened.
