Issata's Collage

I decided to design a collage because i wanted my creative response to not only be different from my other classmates,but to also show a visual response of the novel I read. My inspiration for this project was the vivid descriptions that Anna Rinaldi used in the novel. I wanted them to come to life. The scene from the book that i decided to illustrate was the departure of Harriet. To me, this was the most important scene in the book. It shown that Harriet matured from her naive thoughts of life as a slave. She finally became wise to know that it was her own good to leave Monticello and be freed from slavery, whether she was being treated well or not.
