The backgorounds of this story are just few years before abolitionist movement has occured.  It is a story about a slave who was taught readings and writings from his master and ran away to get freedom.

Tone of the article is not serious. Rather, it has some humorous mood. Especially, a lot of dialogues between Lecklers’ gave me laughs.  The author treated this gloomy theme of slavery history with a little pleasant way.

 The author’s point of view is little warm to both of  masters and slave. He introduced a anecdote of a master who had tried help his slave, but later felt betraial from his slave.  The master’s saying ‘ the ingrate’ shows the irony of human life.
