Question

After reviewing the passage from "The People Could

Fly," write two to four sentences explaining which
details are factual and which are fictional.
Then, many of the people were captured for Slavery. The
ones that could fly shed their wings. They couldn't take
their wings across the water on the slave ships. Too
crowded, don't you know.
The folks were full of misery, then. Got sick with the up
and down of the sea. So they forgot about flyin when they
could no longer breathe the sweet scent of Africa,
Say the people who could fly kept their power, although
they shed their wings. They kept their secret magic in the
land of slavery. They looked the same as the other people
from Africa who had been coming over, who had dark
skin. Say you couldn't tell anymore one who could fly
from one who couldn't.
