Where is my home?

“I am going home, because I am not going to stay in this harsh place” that is what she would think. Margru Kinson that is. Margru Sarah Kinson was a girl who was pawned by her father. He was not a bad person he was but he had to because the whole village was out of food! But then the worst happened, the slavers came. She was taken prisoner along with some other children from different villages when they got to the coast they were taken into a ship and under the deck. She was then taken to Cuba and then to the United States. But in America you could not have a slave, but the government said that they killed to many Cubans so they had to go to court where she did not have a good time. She was there for a couple years, then she finally went back to Africa but then she had to go back to America and then she finally went back to Africa and stayed there. I recommend you read the book Africa is My Home by Monica Edinger when it comes out because it is a great, touching, true story. If you do read it, then please put a comment on my blog, I would like to know what you thought.

I think you are very understanding of the father trying to save the whole village by pawning his daughter. I do not think I could do it even to save a lot of others.
