Jul 08, 2017 it was amazing Captivity sounds like an old concept, something that happened in a time so far away that it doesn't seem possible. To capture someone and take them away to a culture and place that is so foreign that everything is new and unknown. Olive's story is one of acceptance and a determination to survive in an environment that is so totally strange to her, she learns to adapt in ways that will imprint on her soul and face in ways that when she is re assimilated into American culture she never totally becomes what she was. The tattoo on her chin is a mark that separates her from her old life and tries to stain her character. But she rises above this and learns to live a life in white culture that neither denies her captivity or her captors.
