• I thought the story as going to be about
Nelson Mandela and slavery in Africa , but this
story only deals with slavery. In the story a boy
thinks his father is leaving his mom because of
some reason, but actually he is been taken
away to be a slave. Later on in life he
understands what really happened that day
and learns that his father did not leave his
mom for his own reasons.
