Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861) is an autobiography that tells the story of a fugitive female slave and her struggle to reach her freedom. This excerpt from the book shows that slaveholders were never completely kind since they always ended up treating slaves as objects instead of people. In part 1), the word "bequeathed" means to give something to somebody and it is generally used to refer to personal property. In this case, it is the main character, a slave, who is given by her mistress. Furthermore, in part 2), slaves are also treated as if they were things or even animals when they are spread among the mistress' relatives. Moreover, part 3) shows that slaveholders thought they had the power to own not only their slaves but also the slaves' children and grandchildren, even if they showed loyalty.

the first answer is   …After a brief period of suspense, the will of my mistress was read, and we learned that she had bequeathed me to her sister's daughter, a child of five years old.

the second answer is    Notwithstanding my grandmother's long and faithful service to her owners, not one of her children escaped the auction block.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
