Equiano was very relatable throughout his text and he was determined enough to basically teach himself how to read and write and that is very inspirational; he craved education and knowledge so much. I do not think there are too many people who would work that hard to educate themselves.
I found it interesting how he became Christian through his captors; I would think one would not want anything to do with what their captors believed because of being taken and then the cruelty that he went through. I liked how he questioned the motives of his Christian captors and how they thought they could treat other people so terribly when they were Christians. He understood that if you were going to take the name of a Christian, your actions have to act like it; one cannot be Christian if they do not apply Christianity to their life.
