Slave Feelings
Being a slave would feel unrealistic. People should be treated equally so it's just unreal to be a slave. So to really be a slave is like so depressing. It would be like there's no point to life. In order to live, I'd tell everyone that we should split up and run away in hundreds of different directions so most of us could get away. I wouldn't want to wait for a miracle even though I would want to see the miracle.

What if HaShem didn't free us
If HaShem did not free us from Egypt, he would have freed us later. The problem is that if we were still in Egypt, we still wouldn't get to eat or sleep and maybe we would whine a lot to Pharoah and he did still not let us sleep or eat. Then we might do bad stuff and be doing sins. Then we could become bad people. We would get Torah later and we needed it right away. It's a good thing HaShem took us out of Egypt at Pesach.

Slavery in Mitzraim
If I were a slave in Mitzraim I would be annoyed because I don't like working even now. Right now I kvetch a lot and I'm free.The only chore I like and the only that I have is to clear the dishes. If I were a slave, I would have to clean all the dishes from everybody and it wouldn't even be my own family. We wouldn't have much food to eat. it would be Pharoah's dishes. If I kvetched, I 'd be lashed with a stick or whip. Then I'd be crazy hurt and scream and cry and I'd get whacked again. I would hate to be a slave in Mitzraim.

Your Questions...Or Specific Ones
Your question about why G-d freed us really interested me! By the way, this site is so simple to work on, so cool! So I'm pretty sure G-d freed us because he saw in us something others refused to see. I think that that the Egyptians saw something in us that was different, and it scared them so much that they tried to rid of this new,unique thing and they just couldn't do it. Probably because He knew we were going to make a BIG mark on this world and so He freed us. He let us work for ourselves and He let us learn all on our own because He wasn't going to spoil us and let us take it easy. In a way, He taught us how to earn our keep and to appreciate what we have while it's available. I'm not religous, but I try to really learn about the holidays and follow up and I thank G-d everyday for making me a Jew.

well, i think being a slave is having a lot of boundries and having no fun. it might also represent that we are in pain and we have restrictions like being a spartin.

Why is pesach an important holiday?
it is an important chag (holiday) for 2 reasons.
1) it is in nissan, the 1st month of the year
2) it is when hashem (god) took us (the jews) out of mizrayim (egypt).

have a good pesach (passover)!!!!!!!!
