Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman

Aa like the other slave stories we have read, they are all very moving with their strength for freedom. In this book, I felt like it was very easy to follow along with Jane Pittman. She made it so her reader knew where she was going and what she was doing.

There were many parts where I felt very emotional for Jane herself because she sturggle in my ways. A major part of this part of the reading was when she was traveling to get to Ohio to meet Mr. Brown. She was trying to find out how to get there and all the other people were doing was putting her down. It all started on page 14 when they were told they were freedom and Jane was ready to go to Ohio. Unc Isom tried to convince her that she wouldn't make it anyways but back the hands of a slaveholder. Throughout the rest of the reading Jane meets many people that are not very helpful and who just tell her to go back to where she belongs, at the plantation.

I felt the relationship she had with Ned was a very important aspect in this reading. Although Jane was no reltionship to Ned except for a slave watching over another slave, they became veyr close. Jane had taken ont he role of a mother for Ned and when he had faced danger more than once it frightened Jane like it would his own mother. What do you think would have happened to Ned or Jane if they didn't stick togetehr for their journey?
