The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The feelings and emotions that are expressed in the descriptions of Equiano’s village are of nostalgia for his birthplace.

In my opinion, what readers can learn from reading these excerpts of the memoir is the fond memories Equiano had for his village, his people, traditions, culture, and customs.

He describes the landmark. A place full of vegetation, where people grew fruits and vegetables. He refers to the clothes the people used. Nothing fancy. Those were simple and comfortable clothes. He remembers that his people traded different artifacts with white people. He mentions some traditions such as marriage and the way the elders punished people who committed any crime.

You can read more about Olaudah Equiano in his autobiography and refers to his life as a slave.
