John + Abigal Adams

The letters written between John and Abigale Adams were very encouraging and relateable. My freshmen year of college I had to spend 9 months away from my now Fiancee seeing eachother only every other weekend, I can relate to the frustrations of both parities as I have been on the side of one and expirienced the wrath of the other. As seen in the letters these minor trials between the two did not result in a life/marriage altering conflict. It's cool to be able to read the letters of two individuals so utterly devoted to the other, that not even the atlantic ocean could seperate. It was also cool to see that even though Abigale was pain'd by the seperation she still fully supported him and his efforts in the contintential congress.

Olaudah Equiano

I must with utmost honesty say that before this required reading I had absolutly no idea who Olaudah Equiano was. I had never herd of him. I found it fascinating that he was one of the vary first anti-slave writers in the new world. I also feel an important note to add is that It was interesting that the anti-slave writings and justifications were based off of christian morals and ethics.
One of the most fascinating aspects about Equiano's writing is that he came to know Christ because he was a slave. The autobiographical approach enables us to look at the changes as they occured in Equiano's life. God has a perfect plan for everyone, and its quite easy to see how God was able to "bear fruit" through Equiano's life.
