To create a well-structured and universally appealing narrative, the author must consider the relationship between the speaker and the audience he or she is directly addressing. Creating a good speaker/audience relationship depends greatly on how open and accessible the main character is to his or her readers. This two-way communication is constructed through a first-person narrative. In the story titled “Amazing Grace” by Abdel Nasser Ould Yessa, the speaker not only creates an intimate relationship with his readers, but also addresses his message to a specific audience. Instead of speaking to a universal audience, Yessa's story aims to convey a message to a particular audience. Even though the speaker's primary audience is distinct and specific for most of the narrative, a connection with their general audience is created through a first-person narrative and the inclusion of universal and relevant elements. With pronouns like “I” and “we,” Yessa, the narrator, presents his story and conveys directly to his audience what he did, how he felt, and why he did it. The reader is then able to experience the events of the story through their lenses. What makes Yessa's slave narrative different from other narratives of its genre is that it is not only written from the perspective of a slave owner, but its structure also employs multiple speakers. intended for a specific audience. In the narrative, the speaker immediately limits his audience by incorporating cultural elements and descriptions that are not identifiable and common to all. For example, the description of his circumcision ceremony, filled with large "ritual tents" and "celebratory songs", with "hammering drums", and his decision-making process of choosing a slave, the distance... ... middle of paper .... ...and. You have the power. You built this country. All you’re missing is confidence” (Sage and Kristen 203). The use of the pronouns "we" and "you" shows that Yessa speaks for and represents the slave owners of the world to an audience that is not limited to Yebawwa, her former slave, but to whom Yebawwa represents, the population slave as a whole. The localization of cultural elements and themes may have restricted the speaker's audience and lengthened the distance between him and Western audiences, but through the use of first-person narrative and ideologies universal, a connection is always established. The use of a first person narrative may not be able to completely transcend the cultural barriers that exist in the story, but it is able to reduce the distance between the speaker and the reader and create a feeling authenticity and truthfulness..
