Copper Sun by Ranita Gubbins https://padlet.com/ranitasnibb/it7h5d7i97r5 en-us 2017-03-20 17:38:16 UTC 2026-03-12 03:42:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Brightnessdown.png Hope ranitasnibb https://padlet.com/ranitasnibb/it7h5d7i97r5/wish/161272718 "Because I see power in you", you know cretin people are chosen to survive. I don't know why, but you are one of those who must remember the past and tell those yet unborn. You must live", Because your mother would want you to. Because the sun continues to shine. I don't know, but you must"(37).
I think this shows hope because it gives me hope when I read it. It also makes me think of hope, as well as it says that you must live, because the sun continues to shine. That sentence alone shows that it has hope in it all by itself.

The smallest thing just like the moon light shows them that they can get to freedom. It is just the matter of seeing it in everything around them from the moonlight to a leaf falling from a tree. It is saying that sometimes you just need a little guidance to reach your goal.

You can be beaten and raped and killed"(37).
This shows that African Americans were not treated like people they were not thought as being humans because of there skin color. So they could not be equal to the whites. All because the whites did not like them. They got labeled for how they looked.

We've decided to go alligator hunting this afternoon and we need some gator bait"(56).
The whites had used Tidbit as bait for gators. It had shown that they did not care how they were treating people at all they only cared about treating other white people nicely. Africans were not thought as a human but all most like animals all because the color of there skin.

This is what Amari had told Tidbit, It is showing that although they have gone through they have become friends. Friends come in many different shapes and size even different religious or race. They found friendship in the hardest of times. It is showing that after all they have been through they still have hope and care about one another and become friends.
