Noah and Isabel grew up together as family. They have spent most time together, but because of the racial principles and stereotypes they were forbidden to be together.]]> 2016-12-15 15:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/working729/ln24hqeivi79/wish/143855125 working729 https://padlet.com/working729/ln24hqeivi79/wish/144084775 "If you die, they win. We cannot let that happen"(Draper 48). For what happened during the middle passage the loss of hope would definitely end in death of Amari. Afi makes Amari believe that the captors are trying to destroy their hope and that is why they must not loose hope. ]]> 2016-12-16 16:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/working729/ln24hqeivi79/wish/144084775 working729 https://padlet.com/working729/ln24hqeivi79/wish/144085896 "Do you think they were killed?' No. They had value. They did not die. At least not physically"(Draper 26). The enslaved Africans were treated like animals, to be sold like property. Their humanity was stripped from them by being forced to do horrible things.]]> 2016-12-16 16:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/working729/ln24hqeivi79/wish/144085896 working729 https://padlet.com/working729/ln24hqeivi79/wish/144087382 "If this child is a boy, Amari thought, I shall name him freeman"(Draper 301). The name freeman represents freedom. The name freeman for a baby that would've been born in slavery represents the freedom of America.]]> 2016-12-16 16:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/working729/ln24hqeivi79/wish/144087382 working729 https://padlet.com/working729/ln24hqeivi79/wish/144088092 "You want go north? Go alone, Amari said with a fierceness she hoped had the courage to back up. Polly inhaled sharply, we would all die if we split up"(Draper 208). This quote represents the trust between Amari and Polly. Polly trusts Amari that Cato was in fact correct about Fort Mose's existence.]]> 2016-12-16 16:31:11 UTC https://padlet.com/working729/ln24hqeivi79/wish/144088092 working729 https://padlet.com/working729/ln24hqeivi79/wish/144089332 "Then she pulled herself back to reality that faced her. It was hard to hate the whites for what they had done and be thankful for Polly and this white woman"(Draper 259). Amari realizes that just because their skin color is white doesn't make them bad people. Amari overcomes her hatred for the ones who ruined her life, and gives thanks to the ones who surround her.]]> 2016-12-16 16:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/working729/ln24hqeivi79/wish/144089332
