= The Slave Ship = //"And then the boat left the shore. Forty terrified women and girls howled as the boat began to float upon the sea. Soldiers laughed at their fright, sailors beat them with their whips.// Why do they beat us? //Amari thought wildly,// to silence us? To stop our fear? //Nothing made sense. She looked back with longing for the land of her birth. She knew she would never see this place again." -//**Copper Sun**
