copper sun AOI
In the novel Copper Sun the viewpoints were taken from a 15-year-old slave girl named Amari, and a 17-year-old indentured servant Polly, Copper Sun is a story of the struggles in the face of human beings during slave times and a hope for freedom against all odds and circumstances. In the novel the AOI that it is portrayed is the area of Health and social education. I chose this AOI because both Amari and Polly had to adapt to their new surroundings and they also had to learn the routes around the Mr.Derbys rice plantation.
The AOI that Copper Sun reveals is in the the category of Health and social education. In the introduction of the novel Amari is in her small village in Africa conversing with her little brother Kwasi asking him to fetch some fruits for their mother to prepare for them to eat. Kwasi was making jokes about Amari’s relationship with her soon to be husband Besa. Emerging more into the chapter the small African village encountered some “ pale, unhealthy, looking men who carried large bundles of unusual-looking sticks as they marched into the center of the village” but the people did not take it to offense but they welcomed the “strange men” into their village with open arms and they even had a celebration in place to welcome the men. As the celebration was coming to a close the Africans felt a surge of horror as their loved ones were being shot down by the strange men that they welcomed. Amari who had just witnessed the death of her mother, father, and her little brother, was chained together with other African men and women and also some African children and were lead deep into the forest where she saw her little village where she once called her home set ablaze.
In the chapters that follow Amari and the other slaves were taken on a ship and the were chained together women on one side and men on the other. As the slaves journey begins they were treated like animals like they didn't have a heart, like they did not breath the same air
