Character Analysis Of Amari In Copper Sun

Copper Sun is a novel by Sharon M. Draper about 15 year old Amari, whose village was taken over so she has to cope with the fact that her family is now gone. She also has to deal with the fact that she is being taken away from her true love. Throughout the story Amari displays many emotion, two major emotions are loneliness and bravery. Amari becomes very lonely when the fact that her parents and brother are dead becomes a reality. She still has Afi, who treats her like her own. On the very rough nights Afi was there to keep Amari from being hurt or lonely. Even though she had Afi, Amari was still lonely sometimes. Just for the simple fact that she didn't have her family anymore. "How can I continue to live without my family?” When Amari is being auctioned off she knows that she is about to be alone again. Up until then she had been with Afi. But now they are about to be split up and she is not ready for it. After
She is now forced to show that she is bravery because she is now going to be a mother to a new baby and also Tidbit. Amari was ready to become a mother so that showed how brave she was because most fifteen year olds aren't willing to to have a baby and make it their number one priority. “Amari refused to think of Clay any longer, for she knew his evil spirit could never touch the love she was already beginning to feel for the child within her.” My personal opinion of this book is that it's really good because it gives you a chance to see how people feel during their capturing and becoming a slave. As well as their journey to freedom, from the eyes of a teenager. Many of Sharon Draper’s book are like that. Shes able to connect with her teenage audience which is great. Another thing about the book is that it is a book that gives you a chance to see the effect that being a slave has on a person because it really changes you. That was something seen with Besa near the end of the
