The reason for using truth in the book is to make it heavy and make the reader feel the emotions that the author had. It would be harder to take the book seriously if I knew that everything that was happening was made up. The fact that these are true stories shows all the terrible things that she went through and makes me as the reader get a true idea of what she went through. It is important that the language is not clear because it shows that slaves did not get an education and lacked many of the things that we take for granted. The content adds to the idea of truth, if the information was not given exactly how it happened, it wouldn’t have the impact on the reader that it does. The fact that she went through these terrible things shouldn’t be hidden because otherwise, we will never know the pain she was put through as a slave.
