Viewing Questions<br />

1. How would you describe Aminata’s relationship with her parents? What does she learn from<br />

her mother? What does she learn from her father?<br />

2. How did the trading African peoples into slavery interrupt the lives of Aminata and her<br />

parents? What might their lives have been like if Aminata hadn’t been kidnapped?<br />

3. How does Aminata reciting the names of fellow captives in the hull of the ship foretell<br />

Aminata becoming a djeli like she wanted?<br />

4. Aminata was 11 when she was kidnapped and stolen from Africa, very close to your age. Try<br />

to imagine how it would feel for someone your age to be separated from their family against<br />

their will. What do you think they would feel?<br />
