Main+Characters

Main Character-Discuss what he/she is trying to achieve and how and why he/she is succeeding or failing.

Dana Hiyajneh-Pd 1  The main character At-mun or now Amos is a very strong boy or man if you prefer. He kept his head high during the whole process of being captured, making his way to America and being sold. I'm guessing most people just gave up hope but he didn't. I think it had some to do with the fact that he was a king and he wanted to keep it that way. He seems determined to find his sister someday.The family that he was sold to are very kind and take him to the wharf with them when they go.They even go when the ships come in just because Amos wants to see the ships but more their cargo(aka his sister).I'm enjoying this book i just hope it doesn't get sad and depressing like most stories about slaves because normally if they get sold its to a not so nice master. You hear the horror stories of getting whipped and killed. It's sad that his master Mr.Copeland died and now the rest of the Copeland family has to move away and Amos will be sold. I have a feeeling Amos will be strong with whoever his master is.

(Jack Miller) - I have read a little further, but I will not spoil it for you, but Amos does keep strong throughout. I have nothing really else to say because you have stated most about Amos and his characteristics. Good job.

Dana Hiyajneh- Thanks Jack :)

Emilie Bartkowski: Main Character is Amos. He was a slave until he was a friendly and brave King, He still is nice and brave. Amos is also strong,and he has bright eyes white teeth and grey hair. Amos is sad at some points in the book like when he lost his sister. But at the same times hes is happy too. I also think hes thankful. He was a slave until he was 63 years old then he was freed. He built himself a house and started a store. He was married 3 times, but 2 of his wives have already died. Amos, his Wife Viloet, and her child are moving to the woods and Viloet was scared to live there because of stories she heard. Amos is going to make a new home for them when they find an place with water flowing through it.

(Jack Miller ) - Some new characters who I believe will end up as main characters are Amos' wife and his daughter. They seem like they would stay in the story for a while and be main characters.
