Although they are all connected and related in some way, their cultures are ultimately different, and the spaces they call home are as well. Some villages were colonized, some people sold into slavery, some were taken from their homes, and some became a large part of the problem; each person, however, is positioned in a different space that they consider their home regardless of their circumstance. ]]> 2021-02-24 20:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238425964 s_nicholassimmons https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238431162 2021-02-24 20:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238431162 s_nicholassimmons https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238447361 Effia can never seem to find her sense of home. Throughout the novel, she knows that the village that she was born into is what she should consider her home, however, the experiences that she had there does not allow it to have that title. After being sent to the castles for marriage, she finds that this is not a home-like environment either. She is not allowed to explore around, and the only people that speak her language are some of the other wives . Once Effia has a son, she finds a sense of family and home that she did not necessarily have before. This sense of home is not a location, but a feeling that she has when she is around her family. ]]> 2021-02-24 20:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238447361 s_nicholassimmons https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238464820 2021-02-24 20:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238464820 s_nicholassimmons https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238474914 2021-02-24 20:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238474914 s_nicholassimmons https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238480068 Family is Effia's sense of home]]> 2021-02-24 20:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238480068 s_nicholassimmons https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238500667 Effia's son has a different perspective on home. His idea of home is a physical place due to the fact that his father sent him away. Quey was sent to London due to his sexuality, so he never got to experience home as a mental space. When he returned, he began living with Fiifi, his brother, where he was given a place to live and eventually a place to rule. He is also a half-caste that is kept separate from the castle in a small home with his mother. He never makes friends or feels like he fits in until he begins running Fanteland. ]]> 2021-02-24 21:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238500667 s_nicholassimmons https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238529786 2021-02-24 21:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238529786 s_nicholassimmons https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238547948 H's home is Pratt City, but it took him a long time to find somewhere that he felt comfortable. He was placed into the prison system where he was forced back into slavery. Once he was finally taken out of this environment, he settled down in Pratt City with a large number of other ex criminals. He finds a girlfriend and eventually has a daughter. He also works in the mines and begins to join a union in order to increase pay. He ultimately does not find a home until he is fully out of slavery and the ills of American society, and settles down with a family. ]]> 2021-02-24 21:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238547948 s_nicholassimmons https://padlet.com/s_nicholassimmons/bk7ucjrpexlibfnr/wish/1238593391 He thought about going back home, but realized that he didn’t know where home was.
