                       The most important emotional knowledge communicated by slaves is the use of provoking the emotion of feeling depressed within one another. This is important because when we as humans feel depressed we naturally share our feelings with our peers as a way to comfort us during rough circumstances. This very form of comfort was the reason why some slaves survived the scarce experience. When we describe our feelings we are able to give others a vivid picture in their minds and provoke the same emotion that we feel inside them. We have the ability to look at a person and observe t heir facial expressions but we would not know in detail how they really feel unless they explained it to us verbally and in depth. In the interesting life equiano goes through many different emotions but the one that comes up most often is the feeling of despair and deppresion.

                        In “The Interesting Life of”  page 11 paragraph Equaino describes his feelings after attempting to escape his slave owner quoting “I was seized with a violent panic, and abandoned myself to despair”. Here he gives us a brief yet full descriptive image of the anxiety and fear that flourished with inside of him that almost instantly transformed into lost for all hope.
