A Slave Grateful For Slavery ( CRR )

In class , we have been on this topic about Phillis Wheatley for a while now and I think I finally came up with an answer to why she loved that she was in slavery. As a slave you are forced to believe many things as Phillis Wheatley was forced to believe that Christianity is a way to freedom but it can also be that she really have faith in what she believes in and want to inform and offer these ideas to her people to show that they are not alone. A slave is the most lonely person you could imagine because everything that may seem grateful to them gets taken away like family , pride, their name and their culture. I believe Phillis Wheatley closest thing to not being lonely and to not being broken apart was Christianity. Phillis Whaetley made a connection between living life and how to pick choices and new ideas while living life even though she was a slave , she created solutions that she thinks would solve her problems. She created different options for herself and through her poetry she explained the way she felt about those options. Poetry was a way she expressed herself and it helped her express herself even more. In her theory I believe that she is only grateful about being a slave because that enabled her to come to America and find her faith because even in Africa slaves had slaves.
