Interesting

Interesting - Emilie Bartkowski  To me, i thinks its mean how they captured the people and sold them to others. Amos was brave and kept his head up i no i wouldn't. To me, all people should be treated that same no mater what. I also think its wrong how they dug a 10 foot pit in the ground and threw them in it.(I would hate to be in a pit!) The slave trader that took Amos had 345 other slaves for 1 person is a lot and I'm glad that Amos got sold to Caleb and Celia.  If you look in the front of the book, it says that Amos was born in Africa in 1710. Then, at age 15 he was captured by slave trader and was traded, and was sold. He remained a slave until he was 63yrs old! ( That's along time 48 years of being a slave) There's more but it's too long to type.(: Amos should be able to be free even though Caleb died. Well i have to go so bye!

(Jack Miller) - I found it interesting that even when Caleb died, Celia couldn't keep Amos until Amos was allowed to be free, but instead he was sold to a different person which sign a time for him to be free.

Dana Hiyajneh- I agree Emilie.I would hate to be in a pit plus it was for along a time too! they practicly tried to kill each other for food! they became like wild animals!

Emilie Bartkowski: Thanks and I guess it because he was under Caleb's name but still...

(Jack Miller ) - I found it interesting that Amos had a strong desire to buy slaves and marry them so they could die free. That's kind of an odd desire, but it's his life I guess.

(Jack Miller ) - Another thing I have found interesting is that Amos lived to be so old. I do believe the reason he lived to be so old is because he worked hard all his life.
