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.
In Dickinson's poetry, various thematic elements prominently shape her style. One significant theme she explores is scopophilia, which refers to the desire for visual pleasure. Through the use of the first-person perspective, vivid descriptions, and a sense of immediacy, Dickinson invites readers to step into the narrator's experience and engage visually. The culmination of these techniques results in poetry that feels dynamic and relatable.
