These narratives exposed the evils of Southern plantation life. Abolitionists had been writing and speaking about the horrors of slavery, but the narratives would provide the evidence that they needed to convince others. In the early Nineteenth Century, slave narratives emphasized the depravity of Southern planters, the irrepressible fact of sexual miscegenation, the hypocrisy of Southern Christianity, the scenes of brutal beatings and torture, and rebellious slaves who were murdered. Many narratives included letters or statements from white businessmen, lawyers, and organizations verifying the legitimacy of the narrative: these countered claims by Southern plantation owners that the stories were fraudulent. It was often dangerous for the narrator to include specific details including names of people and places because of fear of being forced back into slavery and/or fear of family members being sold and sent further south. There were also questions about the actual writing of the narrative. How could a fugitive slave, who had never learned how to read and write, produce such well-written accounts of their experiences?

When we write biography we could look at the concepts of time, space and scale as a way to organize our writing. Looking at time, we can use this concept to collapse and expand a period in one's life and we can move from the past to present and back again to gain a perspective of one's actions. We can, for instance, take an event and slow down the action by writing in increments of one minute or one hour. A wonderful example was "24" the TV series which ran from 2001 to 2010. Each year had 24 episodes representing 24 hours of one day in the life of Jack Bauer, a Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) agent. Each episode included the hours and minutes of the day and was filled with suspense and intrigue.
