In the first paragraph of "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," a lady named Linda Brent, who is actually Harriet Jacobs, tells us about her life as a slave. She starts by saying that she was born in North Carolina and that her life changed a lot when she was just a little girl. Linda explains that she had a happy childhood, but she didn't know that being a slave meant she would have to face many hard and scary things as she grew up. She wants to share her story to help people understand how terrible slavery is.
