Prompt: It was impossible to retain one’s personal dignity and still be a slave.
Originally, I said yes it is impossible to keep your dignity and still be a slave, because the horrific acts of slavery deprive the human soul. But, after reading the book I changed my answer. Slavery is a terrible act but it isn’t impossible to keep your dignity and still be a slave. No matter how hard things got Amari never lost her faith. She would not let her situation deprive her of her dignity.
