The Journey of August King
This is an excerpt from the paper...
The Journey of August King details a widowed North Carolina farmerÆs transformation from supporting the law to his recognition that he must follow his convictions and do what is right. August King is a farmer whose wife has died. As he travels home to his farm, he encounters a frightened, helpless runaway slave girl named Annalees. Annalees has escaped from her brutal master, Olaf Singletary, who obviously has more interest in her than just a slave. As he tells us, ôShe was my ray of light.ö August is at first reluctant to help Annalees, point her north and informing her it is ôagainst the lawö to help her. August discovers her the following night, hungry, lost, and tired. He decides to help her escape the bottom-lands of North Carolina by hiding her in his wagon. Chased by Olaf and his posse, the two form a relationship as they make their way North to the Blue Ridge Mountains. By the end of their journey, August realizes he has been enslaved by following laws in which he does not believe are just. The film ends with this celebration of his newfound courage and resolve.
