Akata Witch



When I first read the story about Akata Witch, it was something that was a bit different than the usual witches appearance. This characters name is Sunny, she has African bone structures but she has cream colored skin and wavy blonde hair. wherever she goes it seems like she can't fit in and continues to be the outcast. Her skin basically lights up anytime she's in the sun light so, she has to have an umbrella whenever she wants to go out into the world. Nowadays you can look like anything and people will look at you so you might as well rock your beauty and don't care what others think about you honesty. All women have super powers and they should use them for the greater good like Sunny. When her teacher gave Sunny the switch to hit the kids that were laughing at her in the back of the classroom, it showed that bullying has consequences and I was all for that one. She then realized that her looks were beautiful and not ugly, and thats the main element to take away from this.  The witch read for this week was a confident read that shows off woman power in a mental way but in the good aspects of it.

  1. Although I agree with your thoughts on Sunny's struggle to find peace with her outward appearance, I don't think the main message of the story was beauty. More so, I believe that the focus is on acceptance of your entire being - not just whats on the surface. There is a lot of depth to Sunny's character that goes so far beyond her albinism.
