Struggle and try to Follow Your brother

From Create Your Own Story

The white men restrain you from your brother trying not to let you give him any good-bye at all, and this upsets you. Even with your mother and the white men holding you away from your brother, you try to follow anyway and wind up getting pulled very hard by the white man.You begin to cry and scream in African “Stop them that’s my brother, stop them”. The language barrier between you and the white man keep him from knowing what you said but by the look of suffering on your face he knows what you want. With no conscience he beats you with that scary rope looking thing. It injures you very badly and you are in great pain. You begin to wonder how can a man be so cruel to another person. I love my brother and they didn’t even let me give a proper good-bye. You think but you remain silent in fear of getting whipped once more.
