Write a letter Amari from "Harbor me" by Jacqueline Woodson. What questions do you have, is there a moment which you have strong feelings for his speech, behavior, or thoughts. Do you have any criticism.
Dear Amari,
I hope this letter finds you well. I recently finished reading "Harbor Me" by Jacqueline Woodson, and I wanted to reach out to you to express my thoughts and questions about your character and the story.
Throughout the novel, I found myself deeply invested in your journey and the challenges you faced. Your strength, resilience, and determination were truly admirable. However, there were some moments that left me with questions and strong emotions.
One particular moment that stood out to me was your speech during the "harbor" sessions. Your words were raw, honest, and fiercely powerful. I could feel the pain and frustration in your voice as you spoke about the racial profiling you and your family experienced. It was a powerful reminder of the injustices that exist in our society and the impact they have on individuals and communities. Your courage in sharing your experiences highlighted the importance of having a safe and supportive space to express our thoughts and emotions.
Furthermore, I was particularly touched by your genuine concern for others, especially when it came to Esteban's father being detained by ICE. Your empathy and ability to see beyond your own struggles was truly heartwarming. It made me reflect on how we all have our own battles to fight, and it is crucial to support and stand up for one another.
However, I do have a small criticism. I felt like your character's growth and development were sometimes overshadowed by the other narratives in the story. While I understand the importance of highlighting multiple perspectives, I wished for more exploration of your own personal journey and how it shaped you.
Overall, I want to express my gratitude for sharing your story with readers like myself. Your courage, resilience, and unwavering friendship were truly inspiring. Your character reminded me of the power of empathy, understanding, and the importance of creating safe spaces for people to be heard.
I hope you continue to be the strong and passionate person that you are. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Warm regards,
[Your Name]
