I found this reading to be very interesting. It is different and yet similar to the past readings we have read. Unlike I Tituba and Mary Prince, Sophie is not a slave. However like Mary Prince and Tituba, Sophie is oppressed by the world she is living in. All three books tell the struggles of women. In I Tituba and the history of Mary Prince, both women show moments of strength in struggle. I would like to see Sophie develop her strength.

In the reading Sophie finally meets the mother she barely knows. Unfortunately Sophie is shocked when she meets her mother. In her hometown Sophie’s mom is put on pedestal because she lives in America and is able to send money home.  However when Sophie meets her she is unlike anything Sophie pictured. She is Fragile and weak looking, showing her own signs of struggle. America was suppose to free but instead imprisons her more than being home in Hati.
