Thank you
You're right in your interpretation of "sealed for seasons" - to them in the holds of ships, time must have seemed endless. And the man on a mule to Jerusalem is a metaphor for Jesus, for sure. But you might want to consider why. The slaves were not Christians when they were brought here. How does Jesus figure into the thoughts in this poem?
not sure I understand this though, I don't get how Jesus fits into things...is it because he was supposed to have saved all of mankind?
The only thing I can guess is that the slaves were introduced to Christianity once on the plantations and farms. You might research christianity among american slaves to see specifics. I'd imagine, though, that since it was the dominant religion in the colonies and states and since it holds such promise of hope, during life or after death, it was something pretty powerful for a completely hopeless person to rely on. Just my guess.
oh..okay thank you Writeacher
