The Scribe

I used a piece of paper and a feathery pen to create the sound I call "The Scribe". This sound applies to this class in that some of the slaves were able to read. The literacy of slaves was an uncommon blessing and was frowned upon by masters. The scribe sound is derived from my vision of Phyllis Wheatley or other African American writers we have studied in class, who wrote their most prolific writings using a feathery pen on stiff parchment paper.
