Detailed explanation-1: -Equiano relied on both first-person (I/me) and third-person (he/she/they) narrative in his writing. The bulk of the narrative is written in first-person, with Equiano describing his memories of his childhood, his time in slavery, and his successes as a freeman.
Detailed explanation-2: -He and many other Africans, both male and female, were loaded on ships that took them to the British colonies, where they were sold as slaves. Hundreds of people were packed into the lower decks with barely enough room to move during a journey that took at least six weeks. Many died, but Equiano survived.
Detailed explanation-3: -While Equiano was still enslaved in west Africa by his captors and owners he got treated either like a son or was comforted. For example Equiano says “all their treatment of me, made me forgot I was a slave".
