From Kelly,<br />
When I arrived in America, we went downtown, we were in a kind of<br />
cage and when the boss of the slaves blew the horn, lots of people came<br />
running for the auctions.<br />
A specific family watched me and the spouse said she wanted me<br />
because I had the requirements she wanted. The boss gave a few prices and when he pronounced<br />
2000$, the family bought me.<br />
Wednesday 14th January,<br />
Two day later, the family arrived at their place. They showed me where to sleep and what to do. I had<br />
to work inside the house and tied up to a rope. I had to get up very early to prepare breakfast. After<br />
that, I had looked after linens, cleaning, washing, cooking…. all the housework.<br />
Two weeks later<br />
I was a cleaning lady, I cooked the dinner, I had a muzzle not to eat food, otherwise I was punished.<br />
One day I forgot to wash a plate and my master took her whip to beat me.<br />
I hated cooking because I was muzzled and always tied up to a rope. I did not like<br />
that at all. One day, I was alone in the kitchen, unsupervised and took a knife to<br />
cut the rope and to run away as fast as possible. I run during a very long time and<br />
never looked back. After hours of running, I was exhausted and collapsed. I woke<br />
up with an animal‟s noise and realized I was free!!! I finally got my freedom.<br />
