Monday 12th January<br />

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 />
