    The slave narrative differs from earlier African-American literature because it directly highlights the pain of slavery and forces the reader to experience the truth of what it is like to be an American slave. Instead of simply expressing emotions caused by black oppression and the struggle to gain recognition and appreciation as a race‚ as in the works of early African-American writers‚ slave narratives give readers insight to the inhumanity of slavery. They illustrate the painful lives that slaves
