Briefly describe several, meaning more than two, of the conditions of the slave ship as experienced by Olaudah Equiano and related in his narrative.
Compare his narrative to that of Phillis Wheatley's experience. You must use selected quotes from each but then interpret, in your own words, what the quotes mean and what their impact is on the reader.

As we are not provided with the source that we need for this question, we cannot answer this fully or provide quotes. However, we can still discuss what we know of the journeys of both Olaudah Equiano and Phillis Wheatley.

When Olaudah Equiano talked about the journey he endured to come to America, he presents an extremely negative, painful and traumatizing experience. Equiano tells us that the ship was overcrowded and hot. Moreover, slaves were flogged and some even preferred to drown. He talks about the suffering that he experienced on the ship, the things in life that he was leaving behind and the sadness that accompanied him. This is similar to many other slave accounts.

On the other hand, when Phillis Wheatley talked about her journey to America, she usually expressed a mostly grateful attitude. In her poem "On Being Brought from Africa to America," she refers to Africa as a "pagan land" and expresses happiness at the fact that she is now a Christian and knows what salvation is. Moreover, she tries to convince others of the fact that African people can be "reformed" if given the chance.
