Explain how slavery is personified, and explain how this shows the effects of slavery.

Hi there, here are some of my ideas below :)

Many were tortured in slavery. If a slave was refusing to do work they would be tortured half to death or to death. They would have whips and whip them with them. Some would try to escape and would be beaten or hung. Some were burned. In slavery it required long hours of work. In slavery the male or female would get up early in the morning and work all day, sometimes they would miss a meal and would be forced to work all day until the sun set. The men would be out in the field while the women cooked, cleaned, and probably made clothing for themselves and their masters.

People were bought as slaves at a young age, and they would grow up to work. If a mother/father was a slave and had a child, their child would be a slave as well.

the use of “as” in the example to draw the resemblance. some more examples of common similes are given below. common examples of simile. our soldiers are as brave as lions. her cheeks are red like a rose. he is as funny as a monkey. the water well was as dry as a bone. he is as cunning as a fox. simile introduces vividness into what we say.
