Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl 1

In my opinion I think that it's important for this book to be truth rather than fiction because if it were fiction then some of the content in the book might only be partially true. Usually after I get done reading a good fiction book I walk away from it like "wow, that was a really good book. I can only imagine if that were actually true". I know that whatever happened in that book is going to have ideas from someone's imagination, not from personal events. But when a book is nonfiction I know that what took place in the story actually happened to a real person; not just some madeup character. I also feel that when nonfiction is written, since it is a personal account of someone's life, the emotions and reactions that are felt are best expressed because they are coming directly from the mouth source. When the author shows that personal connection with the story I feel it too.
It is very important that the editor didn't change the content or language in the book. This is the author's firsthand account of what she went through as a slave. The views and angles of this book are hers being expressed to the public. They way she ihas wrtten it is the way it happened. If the editor tried to change content then the story wouldn't have had as much meaning because it wasn't what the author intended the story to be. if the language was changed then they wouldn't be keeping it real. If al the slaves in the book talked proper then the book wouldn't be as believable because everyone knows that most slaves weren't given the right to be educated and shown the correct way to speak.
