Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl entry 2

The first couple chapters of Incidents in the of a slave girl are very fascinating and interesting. Its so astonishing and sad how much power Dr. Flint has over her. For example, Jacobs can't have a husband that  Dr. Flint doesn't approve of. Dr. Flint says "If you must have a husband, you make take up with one of my slaves" (Jacobs 30). Jacobs has virtually no power whats so ever and how perverted Dr. Flint is.  Dr. Flint won't let her marry the man because he wants her for himself.  Another interesting thing is, Jacobs is very calm when she is talking about her horrible experiences. For example Jacobs couldn't even give her two kids her father's name. She says, "Always it gave me a pang that my children had no lawful claim to a name" (Jacobs 80).  Its sad and dissapointing how she wants her kids to have their father's last name but won't get it. This is a little thing that we all take for granted, we have no idea what it would be like if we didn't have the benefit of having our father's last name. I think Jacobs should show her emotions more in her writing, and I wish D. Flint did have as much power. As Kanye west song "Power" says "No man should have all that Power".
