As they near Fort Mose's entrance, they view it as a pathway to liberation. "Copper Sun" is a work of historical fiction authored by Sharon M. Draper. It revolves around a young girl named Amari, who is taken captive by her tribe's neighbors, the Ashanti, and sold into slavery. Amari, a fifteen-year-old from the Ewe tribe, is joined by Polly, an indentured white girl taken to Derbyshire Plantation along with her, and Tidbit, the four-year-old son of Teenie, a kitchen slave. Together, they are sent to the auction by Doctor Hoskins, who eventually liberates them near the jungle and instructs them to head north towards Fort Mose. They undertake a grueling trek through the jungle for days without sustenance, finally reaching the Fort, which they perceive as their escape from oppression, slavery, and abuse.
My father is a hero. He is not only celebrated for his military service but also for his bravery and resilience. He has shown incredible dedication in all that he does, never shirking from responsibilities. There’s no trace of laziness in him; he confronts challenges head-on. Years ago, he deployed to Iraq for two years, which was tough for me, but I understood it was for a significant purpose.
