The Life Of William Bradford And Olaudah Equiano

The writings of both authors, William Bradford and Olaudah Equiano, are very important, because they show us first and accounts of their ideas and horrors. Bradford and Equiano both have many similarities. To begin with, both of them leave a country for a specific reason. Bradford leaves his country, England, “to escape religious prosecution” (William, 1) and Equiano leaves America to avoid discrimination and becoming a slave again (Elements, 56). Bradford left his country roots to traveled …

…the nineteenth century to fuel the crusade against slavery” (57). The main reason that William Bradford and Olaudah Equiano deserve to be classified as two of our best writers, is because they showed us in detailed an experience that we will never feel again. Their stories gives us an image of it and how they felt. They wrote as they experienced it, I strongly believe no one will ever write something better or similar to it.
