I took AP Lang in 2006. It's likely that this text will be one of the one's excerpted from on the AP test (not to mention it's fantastic and arguably one of the most important American autobiographies of all time):
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
The Autobiography of Malcolm X
A fantastic and often read text that explores the transformation and life of Malcolm Little, later Malcolm X, and still later El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz.
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
Not a personal favorite but an important book in the American Canon written by one of the most influential men in the history of the United States.
Black Boy
A fictionalized, though not fictional, autobiography written by American author Richard Wright. Wright chronicles his life growing up in a surly, pernicious South and his eventual flight from it.
Hopefully these books will at least be a good place to start in your quest for a suitable book. Good luck in class next year! Its nice to see you're getting an early start on your reading; I put my AP Lang summer reading off until a week before class started, what a mistake that was.
If you have one the kindle version (also free) seems to have much cleaner text https://www.amazon.ca/Narrative-Life-Frederick-Douglass/dp/0486284999
I recently read The Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass. It's a really great book that gives a very unbiased almost clinical account of slavery and, at least of me, that makes it that much more intense and saddening. It reminded me of Night in that it provides clinical, levelheaded presentation the holocaust and I could help but seeing the awful similarities between the two. I read some depressing books.
> so I only have to pay federal income and capitol gains.
The slaves from various plantations used to argue about who's master was nicer, more wealthy and provided better living conditions.
Yes, that actually happened, which can be read about here:
