One of the scenes that most attracts my attention is when Yoa tells Abena that he will take care of her child. “Don’t cry. for now on your child is mine. Do you understand? And just let someone try and say it isn’t!” pp.(7). This is very important to me because this scene gives me to understand that although this slave is in one of the worst situations, he is able to take responsibility for a child who is not his. And although he knows that this child is the daughter of a white man. he finds hope and love in a place where there was no happiness or hope.
