MY PWA ESSAY

 I'm going to write about how slaves resisted slavery. Can you imagine slaves back then trying to resist slavery and got caught they got beaten up or sold.In summary this book is about an African American woman named Dana.Dana is married to a white man named Kevin.Dana can transport back in time were slavery was very oppressive.Dana helps a white kid named Rufus when he is problems.Did you know that people have resisted slavery in order to have equal rights?
      My topic is that how slaves resist slavery.One example i read from the book is were Dana is scaping to go meet her husband Kevin she gets caught by Weylin and Weylin kick Dana on the face.This  means it doesn't matter what race u are or if your a lady they dint care they still beat you.One connection i have is when my step dad use to beat up my mom when she tried to escape because of the pain she was passing through.
         Another way slaves resisted slavery is to kill yourself. one example i read from the book is when Alice killed herself because she was tired of getting beat up and raped by Rufus and she wanted a better life for her sons.one connection i of have is that i was watching a  show called la Rosa DE Guadalupe and it was about this girl thast6 got rapped by her step father and she hung herself .
         From what i saw in social studies we saw a video of Nat turner killed the white masters because he wanted all slaves to get freedom.This means that slaves even tried to kill all white masters and children so they would have freedom.Connection is when I read an article about5 Margret Wallace and it said that she killed her husband because she was getting oppressed by her husband forcing her to make a sex performance so she shoot him.
      In conclusion this topic I wrote about meant allot to me because people should understand that everyone needs equal rights.In the other hand slaves did good because they wanted to have a little bit of freedom.This is important because this means slaves always got oppressive that they wanted t resist.Well people should transform the world by people treating each other the same.Now you see my point why slaves resisted slavery to be free.
