Analysis

During this story I felt a connection to my ancestors. It really made me think of what my ancestors had to go through just for me to be where I am today. Throughout the selection slaves worked all day and took care of their masters to the point where the slave owners didn’t have anything else to do but lounge around all day. It’s hard knowing all the things slaves struggled with and sacrificed when the current generation to are ignorant and selfish and don’t appreciate things. In the novel I think Dana was overwhelm with emotions. As a kid and adult she heard all these stories about slavery and even had to go back and live in this time under a Master’s beckoning call. While Dana was there she grow more and more attached to the time and the people in the time and learned about the life hardships of slaves.
I believe as the story goes on that Dana will find herself in even more dangerous situations as time goes on. I believe she will stop
