Strength
Strength is important to me because when you are a slave you get chained to the back of a wagon, whipped, beat up and you starve. You have no family with you, all you have is the other slaves to be friends and rely on. It is a good thing to be strong because when you are picking cotton in the fields everyday in the hot weather and an empty stomach, you can't stop working or break down or else you will get whipped or beat up more.

About Me
- E.B.
- St. Catherines, Canada
- My name is Lester. I'm a slave worker. I get whipped and chained from the back of a wagon. I'm a very mentally and physically strong. I'm 20 years old and as of now I pick cotton in cotton fields at Massa Riley's plantation as slave worker in Mississippi. A man named Mr. Ross picked me and my friend Adam to go with him and study birds in Mississippi. But instead of studying birds, myself, Adam, Julilly and Liza are going to escape to Canada. But we hope that Mr.Sims won't catch us and then whip us. Now I'm a very happy person in St.Catherines, Canada working and getting paid money. My best friend Adam died of blood poisoning. I hope that my other frineds Liza and Julilly can join me in Canada and we can all work together. Not being slaves. I work as a porter. I'm a very happy person now living free in Canada.
