When I first started this novel, I instantly thought that it would our typical young adult novel. Caucasian girls who are annoyed with all of the money that their family has. Lesson number one..never stereotype a novel. Yes this novel has caucasian females, but it also contains an African American female as well.
Being one of the few African Americans we have in our high school, I could definitely relate to Ama and the way she sees things. For instance, her hair. Ama has your typical ethnic hair. Her hair requires daily care with certain products, which are not allowed on her hike. Her directors don't understand why it's such a necessity to have them. But I do!!!! My hair is very ethnic, so I also use products. These products help you to manage and maintain your hair, usually to make you hair less ethnic.
Though Ama seems like she drifting away from the story she really isn't. If anything she makes the story more interesting by finding he true potential.
