I love how Olaudah, by now renamed Gustavus, or Gus for short, ends up making friends with some of the children he meets. After some time Olaudah finds himself purchased again and bound for life as a slave to a man on a ship where he begins life as part of a ship’s crew. While there he has his first encounters with Western things like paintings and clocks and I love how such things we take for granted are seen as absolutely terrifying to the young African boy. Once Olaudah is purchased by someone he ends up a slave in America in the 1700s. There Olaudah finds himself separated from his sister and on a boat where he will begin his life as a slave to white people. The two fear what they hear and try to run away into the corn, but soon Olaudah and his sister are caught, tied up and made to walk for days until they reach the coast of Africa.
