slave narrative




hello my name is Marcus Philips,i was born south of Louisiana in the year 1818 now a days i think i
am at least 87 years of age. my slave name was journeys, because i was raised there, in that plantation till i was 'bout 18 then i gots sold to petes plantation up north in Kentucky. when i was working at journeys plantation my master taught me to fend for my self and stand up for whats right. one night night watchmen found me cutting wood one night and and he was drunk you see so he started to chase me till i was tired and he gots his whip and started to beat me till i gots big red lumps on my back. wen i got my ax he ran away but all i could of done was just keep cutting my wood till i got my self inside and my momma asks me what be happening out side so i told her and she tells me to tell master but i didnt cuz he only gunna belive him and not me.
two weeks later that same guy raped my momma and kilted her. master granted me a funeral and mourning for her।after that i felt like i had to get away. from there or else i taught i might me next to die. there since i was the only one of my family left there cuz my pappa gots sold 'bout 2 years back when i was 16. i was an only child you see and so i got to spent time with the masters children for some time and he granted me my freedom. at the age of 30 when i was a grown and free man i learned to read and wright like them white people and teachers in them of.
every day in the plantation i had to pick copper from the fields, cut wood, and bake for the masters children.it was hard work but it got me out of trouble with the master and i get better treatment in than the rest but i heard one that its survivable of the fittest. so i did what had to be done to stay good altho i couldn't learn good i still tried my best to read the masters books when he lets me.the master,was so cruel to the Cotton pickers when they don't hurry and especially when they don't get the job done before winter.
At the age of 35 i had made a living for house cleaning and cooking after a time of doing that i went to child care and be a sitter. i took care all types of children blacks whites and even mix of them both till i got enough money to go up north i went to Illinois and opened a new shop with a partner of mine some white fellow named Cesar Thomson.we had good time together unfortunately he died two weeks before the shop actually opened for business for the firs time and made its first sales. altho he was dead i cept the buisness running smooth i gave up on my buisness and soon retired at the age 60 and decided to stay and live the rest of my life writting my memuars,something i did to pas the time as i awaited for god to say"your time is done, time to be really free".

family values




1. why do i value family the most?

i value family the most beca
use family always has to come in first of everything except you re self. and its a very important aspect of life to have you re parents with you till you move out and then till they rest in Peace. you re family is the one thing you have to help when they are in trouble and in need.you should always know that you can always rely on you re family to help you when you need them.you re family should always be there fore you like you are for them nomatter what the cost to you.


2.why do i value friends the least?


i value friends the least because you might not know if there going to be permanent friends. friends that are always going to be cool with you no matter the situation. some friends might just laugh at you when you mess up and do something wrong. but some just take it out of proportions and never stop making fun of you even if you ignore them like you re parents tell you its still going to bother you. till the point you snap and beat them up but you might never get friends like,on the other hand i have so i have to put up with that all the time so so value them the least of every thing else because yes, ether way your going to make good friends in you re life time, but friends you cal actually trust, is something that really tend to not happen as much as you thing it should.
