Description: One of my favorite books is Roots, this book is little conventional for the people in Ecuador. Many people in Ecuador don`t know the book and movie of ROOTS.

Roots tells the history`s salavery suffered by the black people in North America for many years.Also tells several customs and traditions that blacks remained in their tribes. Slavery was such that people of color was sold in American markets how animals or products, caring for their land, houses and a number of activities without denigrantes.

The book narrates the economic situation partner that the USA lived in those times. Many of the scenes are carried out in plantations of cotton of those times. With the step of time, black people were understanding the importance of being free, the opportunities that were losing. One of the main characters Kunta Kinte is the one that begins many situations in favor of the freedom. Kunta is combatant, dreamer and a revolutionary of its tribe. Kunta is example so that its descendants contemplate the freedom that the one could not see but if to begin. After several agreements among American governments some in favor of the black ones others in favor of the owners of the country properties, the one is achieved desired FREEDOM. The book is grandiose, it tints such a perfect description that in certain occasions the reader feels that this inside the history. The desire to see in images that read is grandiose, however the movie is not as interesting as the book. I think that the movie is a small sample of the stateliness of the book.
My punctuation to the movie is 1 for the book 100.

I consider that any person that not this in favor of any type of slavery or inequality should read this spectacular book.
