When Bessa spots pale stranger coming towards their village, the entire tribe welcomes them because visitors are always a cause for celebration. Little did they know the strangers weren’t there to celebrate. They came to capture the strongest, and the healthiest, villagers and kill the rest. Amari whose fifteen-years old are one of those villagers. The pale strangers shackled all the villagers they wanted and took them on a 3 day walk, nonstop walking. Some were beaten, dragged, branded, and even killed. When they reached their destination they a boarded onto a ship, a slave ship. There Amari met a red haired guy who taught her English. Soon after Amari met Afi who gives her hope and strength. The AOI that I thought was most prevalent throughout this story is Health and social education which is basically human issues that exist in human societies. I chose this AOI because this novel expresses unimaginable hardship, starvation and disease, pain, hope, determination, and human exploitation and suffering. To begin with, this novel is mostly about slavery which has been a major issue for decades and maybe still is today. A little after the ship ride, Amari was sold to Mr. Derby and then given as a birthday present to clay, his sixteen-year old son. Amari then meets Polly an indentured white girl. Who has the same dreams as her, to get freedom. I can tie this to Health and social education because as a teenage girl when you see your family get killed then you’re captured and soul many tend to lose hope and think there the blame so they will beat themselves up for it. Many people today still trade people or do human trafficking which is illegal. Another thing from the story is when Mr. Derby beat Amari on conscious, which is a form of abuse and maybe attempted murder. All because of a little spill. Many people today still face many types of abuse and some keep quiet about it because it’s their own flesh and blood. But that’s still
