Main Character-Discuss what he/she is trying to achieve and how and why he/she is succeeding or failing.

This is Aaron Miller from period 7. Right now the main character Sarny is trying to find her children. She lost them earlier on in the book when the plantation owner sold them to a guy who would sell them to another plantation owner. Well she is free now and trying to get to new Orleans to hopefully get her children back. she got these directions from a piece of paper which is pretty much like the receipt of her children that she found in the slave sellers "store". They were well on their way until they stopped and watched the battle. They asked a soldier on a horse how far it was it he told her and her friend that she picked up along the way it was about the same distance south as west. They are back on their way to find her children.

Hello its Hart from 1st period. the main character is still sarny but i also think that other girl would be considered a main character too. because as much as it talks about sarny the other girl is still involved too.

Hey it's Rachel again. I think the main character would just be Sarny. I don't think Lucy would just because Sarny is the reason for all of us. Lucy was just another slave that decided to go with her. Although Lucy is not a main character, she is important to the story. She helped find the paper with Sarny's kids names on it and where they were at.

Hey it is Aaron from 7th period again and the main character is Sarny i agree but yes at the same time it seems like lucy is too. you could figure it out though that Sarny is the main character because that is who the story is about and it focuses on Sarny more than Lucy. Right now Sarny and Lucy are succeeding at everything they are trying to do. they have a job now and with that job they travel to new orleans. they get paid 20$ a week to help a girl named Mrs. Laura get to new Orleans just where they want to go.
