Slave Narrative

    The slave narrative is about a person named Clayton Holbert. Clayton was a slave in the state of Tennessee, when he wrote his narrative he was 86 years old. His masters name was Pleasant, he swears his master must have had about 100 slaves on his very large plantation. Mr. Holbert worked on the plantation during the civil war. Mr Holbert talks about how everything he had ever gotten was made from the plantation, "there was no such thing as going to town." Mr. Holbert was taught many skills on the plantation but in essences how to survive.
    I've concluded that the narrator had a very hard life, but his hard life also taught him so much. I learned that many slaves would die or be severely punished if they did not know there place among the plantation. Working on the plantation taught Mr. Holbert many things but the most important was how to survive.
