I was honestly surprised when Chekura didn't get off the boat with Aminata when she had to leave when Robinson Appleby claimed her. To be finally with your wife, to then let her leave and ahve that thought in the back of your head that you may never see her again, it's just silly to not leave with her. I was mad at both of them when they decided for him not to get off the boat. Aminata made a big mistake when she thought that she would see him again, I just dont understand how you could leave someone and not ahve a chance to see that person again, especially if it was your husband. Of course the news came that his ship went down in the middle of the ocean and that he was lost forever. My thoughts on how Aminata felt would ahve been that she just felt guilty, life it was her fault. To be honest tho, it partially was. I felt bad for all of the people on the ship, and deep down inside I had a funny feeling something like that would have happened. That incident taught me a lesson. The lesson was to really value your loved ones, and keep them close to you; not to hope for the best that they maybe will or will not return.
