The narrative begins with Equiano showing evidence that he is an honest and good person and that everything he will tell is true. This brings reliability to the text and makes the reader see Equiano as a reliable narrator, something rare for a first-person narrator.

He begins by talking about the place where he was born, in Eboé, Africa and then goes on to narrate the moment when he was kidnapped and sold as a slave. After going through a terrible and difficult journey to survive he was bought by an English naval officer.

As a slave, Equiano was introduced to Christianity and must accept it. He had a lot of marine knowledge, which made his "owner" see him with good eyes and allow him to learn to read and write, which was essential for his history and life.

Equiano and his lord got along and Equiano hoped that one day his lord would give him freedom, but when he heard about it, the lord of Equiano was furious and sold Equiano, who was terribly sad, but learned that it was necessary to trust us. God's plans. Whoever bought it sold it again and it ended up in the house of Robert King, a merchant, who was kind and kind. Although his new master was benevolent, Equiano knew how blacks were tortured and dreamed of freedom for all. However, Equiano realized that free blacks lived a very bad life because they had neither the resources to pay for their needs nor the owner to do so. With that, he realized that he needed to have money before he was released and he trusted that God would provide everything.

Senhor de Equiano promised that he would allow him to work for a small salary and if he got enough money he would lend him money to buy a letter of freedom that would set him free. He succeeded and became a free man in July 1766, but he did not forget the debt with his former master and so he worked as a sailor for years, traveling the whole world until he had money to pay his debt. In addition, he became an experienced and very skilled sailor, which promoted even better jobs.

Equiano shows how his story is a mixture of trial, perseverance, hard work and trust in God.
