  • What are some of the emotions Equiano experiences when he is first aboard the slave ship?
    He is terrified of the Europeans because they look like bad spirits. He was, "overpowered with horror and anguish."
  • Describe the conditions of the ship's hold-where the slaves are kept.
    The hold is packed full of sick people vomiting. People are crying and dying. It is very hot and smells horrific and there is little food
  • Why is Equiano allowed to stay mostly on the deck?
    He is allowed on deck to help keep him healthy, and he would not be considered a risk since he is so young.
