    1.

    The copper sun is the novel’s central metaphor. What is its purpose in the novel? How does it reflect not only the environment but also Amari’s perceptions?

    2.

    It can be argued that Polly starts out as Amari’s foil but then becomes more parallel (similar) to her as the story develops. Outline her character’s development. What is Polly’s overall purpose in the novel?

    3.

    Are the small acts of kindness that Amari experiences throughout her journey the only things that keep her alive? Discuss why or why not.
