Copper Sun By Amari Character Analysis

In the book Copper Sun the author introduces you to many different characters. One of the main characters in Amari. Amari isn't just a character to me, she is someone I feel I can connect with. Amari goes on a tough journey with many other slaves, she finds hardships on the journey to Sullivan’s island. I feel like I connected the most with Amari even though she is a girl.
One of the ways I feel Amari and I connected was by the way how she stayed brave, strong and hope full throughout her times of sadness. When I go through hard times I try to stay brave, strong and hope full even though i’m going through a hard time. The second way me and Amari are the same are we look up to other people and use their strength. Amari used Afis strength when they were getting off the ship they got checked by people from the island and Afi got checked by one of the guys, as Amari watched she saw how she was staying brave. Using Afis strength she stayed brave when the guys checked her. I’ve used someone’s strength before when someone was getting picked on I saw someone else stand up for them, so

using their strength I stood up for them and they stopped getting picked on.
Some ways me and Amari are different are well obviously she’s a girl but in some ways we have different personalities.

Amari comes from a whole different country than me, she comes from Africa while im from the United States. Amari had bad conditions growing up in Africa and here in the United States I think we grow up in good conditions. Also Amari is a slave that has been sold on Sullivan’s island. Even though me and Amari have a lot of things in common and I can connect to her we have a lot of things that are different. Amari and I have different personalities, Amari is a shy person which is bad because then she is less outgoing and she won't meet a lot of people at Sullivan’s island. For me I feel that I am an outgoing person, and I like to meet new people and not just know the same people. Im also brave which helps with my outgoing type so i’m not

shy.
Amari isn’t just a character to me I have so many things that I can connect to her and also not connect with or ways were different. I feel like a lot of people can connect with Amari because she is a brave person and uses other’s strengths the help herself. Some people find it hard to do a lot on your own so if you use others to help you, you could be a stronger person. I think Sharon M. Draper put a lot of characters in the book that many people can connect to. Most people could say they connect the most to Amari because she was a brave person.
