how ownership affected the slaves
Platt had a master by the name Ford.Ford liked Platt and trusted him. He has a very hard time when his owner sells his farm to another owner.He sells it to Epps. Epps hates Platt out of all his slaves and make him work hard.With Epps as his owner Platt doesn't have a right to speak or tell his opinion as he did with master Ford.The little freedom that he had with Ford is taken away.In the movie when platt is building the house master Epps comes and starts talking to him and in the middle of it he knocks out the wood that platt was nailing to the house. Platt tries to defend himself sometimes but he is still beaten. When the slaves as sent to another owner from a while Platt receives favor from his temporary owner.When he gets back he goes back to his same old condition of working hard without rest.
