Question

Which statement is true of slave narratives?

Answer 1

a genre of narrative; more specifically, a type of autobiography written by a former African American slave that typically recounts that person's life as a slave and how he or she managed to escape to freedom. In addition to having the basic purpose of all autobiographies, slave narratives also had the important social purpose of convincing the reader that slavery needed to be abolished

Answer 2

B. They depict the thoughts, aspirations, and experiences of enslaved people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slave narratives are the written records of people who were born into slavery and had to suffer, get through and try to get their freedom. This type of narrative genre is more of an autobiographical work, for it involves the first person narrative point of view, the very personal experience of the writer/author themselves.

Recounting the person't life when he was a slave and how he managed to escape all form part of the whole slave narrative. The notion of slave narrative also is prominent in that it propagates the abolitionist idea of the whole dissolution of the slavery system and the freedom of their own people.
