Amari vs. Polly:
Amari is a young lady (15 years old), Amari is a African American who is part of the Ashanti Tribe in her village. Amari is the oldest daughter out of her family of four. Amari is the type of girl who is shy and quite. Amari has fallen in love with this man who's name is Besa. When the white men come and take their village away, Amari has now became a slave as Besa has also and the rest of the village's young people. When they reach the place where they are branded and then raped, Amari meets a lady who has been sold before and back again to be resold who is Afi. Afi is like her mother calming her down and letting her understand what is going to happen to Amari. When they have reached America, Amari is sold to Mr. Derby which is how she met Polly.
Polly is a young lady just as Amari. Polly is a only child of her family of three. Polly's parents were killed by paying their debt off to Mr. Jeremy Carton. Mr. Jeremy Carton didn't want to deal with Polly, so he sold her with her debt that she has to pay off because of her parents. Mr. Derby bought Polly for help of teaching the slaves the language that the whites speak which is English. Polly is also to teach the slaves their new names and what their jobs are. Polly is then able to go help in the house, serving the Derby family. Polly and Amari are good friends now, because they both have been in the same conditions in their past lives and now going through being a slave now.
