Essential Question: Slave Narrative

In the American Dream hope can be more accessible to some then other, but there is often a fear created leading to racial intolerance. This racial intolerance can be shown through the African American culture, like in ”Equiano Narrative”, where the African American Equiano’s hope is not as easily accessible as the white mans, and he must fight for his hope of freedom through his beliefs. This hope that is offered to him, though it is more difficult to achieve, confirms that the American Dream is accessible to all. Likewise the American Dream is not as easily accessible to the African American culture because of the white mans fear of a minority succeeding. With this fear the white men create racial intolerance, because of their own personal fear. “Equiano Narrative” is good example of the American Dream being easier for some to achieve then others, and how the fear of minorities succeeding results in racial intolerance.
