Break Helm Village Break Helm Village acted as a home for Lia Hills for a long time, but it wasn’t where she was born, she lived in a cabin in the middle of the woods. In her childhood she grew up with no friends and never had a real social life outside of her family. Growing up alone wasn’t fun for Lia, she never really met anyone but her parents, of course, and they had countless long days and nothing to do but stand around. They ended up living alone because they weren’t welcome anywhere else, and eventually a group of hunters came around when she was around the age of 16, they took her from her family right there in that moment, Lia was separated from her parents and put into slavery. All Lia could feel was heartbreak Life wasn’t easy …show more content…

She hated it there, so much that Lia felt as if all the hard work was on her shoulders. She got the most attention because she was the first to arrive, but she didn’t want that. Lia seemed exhausted all the time, I assumed that of course, because everyone was worn out and tired. She would be in charge of crops everyday all day. The other slaves never really talked with her, but they respected her, she was younger, but yet somehow did the most work. So many long hard days in the village kept adding up, and they were just too much for her eventually and others saw that. She ended up becoming so exhausted that she passed out in the middle of working and she was beaten all night, everyone could hear her screams. Lia was very confident that someday she would be free and that maybe if she worked hard enough, they would let her go and of course being hungry and dehydrated can make you easily manipulated. She soon enough found out that it would never happen. Two years later she was eighteen and didn’t get anything special but 18 lashes. She was tired of it, all of this work for what? To be beaten, no way she was dealing with it any longer. On day 854 she had an idea, she knew the crops better than anyone which means she would know what crops were good to eat and what …show more content…

She wanted to fight back for once, make the power shift just for a little. Her and the others slaves came up with the idea of poisoning all of the masters. How were they going to do this you ask? Well, they knew they don’t get to eat what they pick so they purposely picked bad food for their masters to eat hoping they would get sick. Week after week they picked and picked, hoping that this would work. Then the day came people started getting sick so the village went under urgent care they waited for the right moment to run for their life. They ended up waiting three more weeks until Lia said it was time they trusted her with their lives. The guards and masters were getting more ill every second, the next day in the middle of the field, Lia clapped everyone heard and suddenly 24 slaves ran for the wood. She was energized and excited dust flying through the air, her blonde hair and beautiful dark skin racing through the fields thirsty for freedom. Some slaves fell and were too tired to continue and she would even stop to help some up. Carrying two separate slaves on her young shoulders, she felt exhausted, Lia wanted to just collapse to the ground but she kept going. Lia believed they were going to make it, until

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Slavery In The Land Of The Free

    797 Words  | 2 Pages

    Bales and Soodalter use this to their advantage very effectively by using a multitude of personal stories from people who went through slavery. They tug at your heart strings by starting with Maria, who was 12 years old when she was taken into slavery for seven months by Sandra Bearden. During that time she was reportedly “ . . . dragged into hell. Sandra Bearden used violence to squeeze work and obedience from the child.” (722). Bales and Soodalter begin by giving you an emotional connection with Maria by telling a short story of her life growing up with her two loving parents, and small details of their house and living conditions. After the backstory is established, it goes straight into the accounts of beatings and torture endured by Maria, to quote “ . . . Sandra would blast pepper spray into Maria’s eyes. A broom was broken over the girl’s back, and a few days later, a bottle against her head . . . Bearden tortured the twelve year old by jamming a garden tool up her vagina.” (722-723). The inclusion of the tortures paints an image of how horrible slavery is, and evokes a sense of dread, despair, and helplessness for Maria. Bales and Soodalter not only state the tortures but they follow the text immediately by stating “That was Maria’s workday; her “time off” was worse.”

  • The Book of Negroes (Someone Knows My Name) by Lawrence Hill

    1065 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first thing the slavers do is to strip their prisoners naked, since they treat the people that they capture not as humans, but as a commodity from which they want to gain a profit. They train their prey from the moment of internment, “they began with humiliation, they tore the clothes off our backs” (Hill 29). Aminata is a Muslim, and the reader is able to ascertain in the first pages how full of pride her people were and how much they valued their families. Women were the main workers and Aminata was trained from her mother in being a midwife. The village life is shown as a normal community encompassing jealousy and other customary happenings. When Aminata first is captured, she becomes an orphan, since the slave traders murder her parents. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, to humiliate somebody means “to lower or depress the dignity or self-respect of; to mortify” (humiliate). The first thing the captors do to the newly captured is therefore to take their dignity and consequently their humanity away. The captors make it clear to the caught that they see them as a commodity; humans are wares that they plan to sell in order to make money. They are not...

    The bitter cold bit against the starved girl’s skeletal body. She was tired. Her parents discussed ways to get to good lands. They told her the only way to have a better life was to sell her into slavery. The girl, only ten years old was silent. She dreamed of fine clothing and good food. The girl went to the House of Hwang. She was too ugly to be in sight; she was kept in the scullery. All dreams of any kind were lashed out of her young mind. Mistreated, beaten, and underestimated, young O-lan learned to work hard and became resigned to her fate. One day, the Old Mistress summoned her and told her that she was to be married to a poor farmer. The other slaves scoffed, but O-lan was grateful for a chance to be free - they married.

Her years of abuse as a slave had made O-lan wise, stoic, and bitter; whether the events of her life strengthened or weakened her is the question.

  • The Unique Experience of Women Slaves

    1348 Words  | 3 Pages

    Women slaves were subject to unusually cruel treatment such as rape and mental abuse from their master’s, their unique experience must have been different from the experience men slaves had. While it is no secret that the horrors of the institution of slavery were terrible and unimaginable; those same horrors were no big deal for southern plantation owners. Many engaged in cruelty towards their slaves. Some slave owners took particular interest in their young female slaves. Once caught in the grips of a master’s desire it would have been next to impossible to escape. In terms of actual escape from a plantation most women slaves had no reason to travel and consequentially had no knowledge of the land. Women slaves had the most unfortunate of situations; there were no laws that would protect them against rape or any injustices. Often the slave that became the object of the master’s desires would also become a victim of the mistress of the household. Jealousy played a detrimental role in the dynamic the enslaved women were placed within. Regardless of how the slave felt she could have done little to nothing to ease her suffering.

  • The Psychological Toll of Slavery

    1627 Words  | 4 Pages

    One important psychological toll of slavery is fear of slave owners, abuse, and of losing everything. Many slaves lived in fear throughout their life and some of them learned to accept the fear. Sarah lives with constant fear throughout the story. The only person she has left is Carrie, her daughter who cannot speak. Sarah’s husband died and three of her children were sold. Here we can see that Sarah accepted the life of slavery out of fear: “She had done the safe thing-had accepted a life of slavery because she was afraid.”(145) Many slaves during that time seemed to make themselves accept their life. They would accept and behave in order for their family and their own safety, although the slaves were never always safe and still risked being separated from their family.

  • Frederick Douglass Dehumanization

    1085 Words  | 3 Pages

    Often slaves were traded like livestock and forced to relocate from their familiar to the unknown. Female slaves were often raped by their male owners.

Slave labor was incessant. Abuse and brutality were rampant. Beatings and whippings were common place. Numerous slave killings were never brought to justice. Fear and hopelessness knew no bounds. In this environment of both physical and mental control, slaves were made to fear for their own safety too much to attempt to stop the brutality.

Language and communication may have been the one thing that caused Lia to suffer because the doctors couldn’t understand the Hmong and the Hmong couldn’t or refused to understand the doctors.
