In this part of the story Equiano is suddenly taken from his home and forced away from his family, he transported by strangers who treat him like property instead of a person. This is a really important moment because it shows how the slave trade began with violence and separation.

I felt scared and lost because I didnt know where they were taking me. I missed my family and feared I would never see them again and everything around me felt strange and terrifying.
