Answer:

He used the first-person point of view.

His purpose was to show how his life changed drastically after he was enslaved

Step-by-step explanation:

In the introduction of Olaudah Equiano's memoir, he clearly stated that his major aim of writing the book was to let the reader feel what slaves were being subjected to and show how evil the slave trade is.

His purpose was to strongly oppose slavery and describe how evil and inhumane it was, buying and selling human beings like you were purchasing goods in the market.
