In the story, A Narrative of the Captivity and Restauration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, as well as The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, there are numerous similarities, although the overall circumstances were unique. Mary was a white, Early-American colonist taken hostage by Indians, while Equiano was an African taken by slave-traders in his own country. However, the commonalities between them far outweigh the differences, and the biggest commonality was their faith in God, although, sadly, Equiano’s journey didn’t begin with any such faith.

Mary sat at her desk, just like she always did. The desk’s varnish had been worn down to the raw wood, and it was covered in scratches made by her own clawing nails. Mary couldn’t remember when she had been locked in there, in the blanched room. The room was vacant except for the debased desk, a plastic chair, and a very shabby Mary.

Mary is known to be very revealing in her poetry and music. She mostly writes of her childhood traumas, the abuse she suffered from, body image and positivity, her bipolar disorder, her sexuality, and love. Her writing, in her words, “has a lot of darkness, and sadness, and grief.” She lets everything she’s experienced flow out onto the page and readers can really tell the pain and hurt that is underlying beneath the written words.

Mary’s motives were completely political as it was usual for those times to rush to throne sweeping everything on their way.

Her father was a drunk, and often times would attack Mary’s mother in a drunken fit of rage. Mary often had to protect

Was Elizabeth jealous? Did she truly deserve the name bloody Mary for what she did to protect herself and to survive as an outcast? For example her life had been a roller coaster ride she lived in a lovely castle. That was until her father decided to take
