"And my story waits like a restful beast"

Question: Compare and contrast Amanita’s beliefs and values with the Abolitionist’s.

Amanita has endured many hardships, that most people have never experienced anything like. She had been living with the basic necessities for almost her entire life. Now that she is in London, she has to learn to adapt to her modern society that surrounds her. To Amanita all she needs to survive is her food, shelter, water etc., so now that she is surrounded by the British men who make the most of there resources she determines strong opinions on those who she is supposed to work with. The Abolitionist's like to think that they have the best motive in mind while trying to persuade Amanita to share her story. But we are lead to believe there is an underlining motive. Amanitas values are family, religion, and her historic past. But the abolitionists main motive is money. The contrasted difference lead us to wonder how the two different personalities are going to work together to abolish slavery.
