Ch. 1 (V) Betrothed: engaged to, be married
Amari and Besa had been formally betrothed to each other last year.
Kente: A colorful fabric of Ghanaian origin
Their fingers flew as they chatted together, the pale fibers stretching and uncurling into threads for what would become kenet cloth.
Ch. 1 (Q) “Be content with woman’s work child. It is enough.”
I think this is a memorable quote in which got me thinking of how different women’s and men’s jobs where and how women weren’t allowed to as much as men, so they had to settle for what they were able to do, and one day it will come in handy.
Ch. 1 (S) Chapter one mainly talked about Amari and Besa’s relationship now and how they’re soon to be engaged. It also t talks about the type of place they live in, and all the people in it.

“Impossible!” the villagers responded almost in a perfect unison.
Fondly: Lovingly
“You sound like a monkey in pain” Amari’s mother would tell her husband fondly.
Caressed: Act or gesture expressing affection
Her heart beat faster as Besa’s fingers caressed the sound out of his skin covered drum.

I chose this quote because it’s meaningful to me, and I could see how the drums are not just noise. They are more than that; it’s like music to our generation now.

When they did arrive they welcomed them and danced when all of a sudden they started to attack them. Amari was in such shock she couldn’t move. She witness her father and mother died as well with the rest of her people, then her little brother grabbed her and they ran. Until one of the pale men grabbed them and killed Kwasi, and snatched Amari.
