Reading a book about the life of a slave girl. I stated to read a book about a slave girl. I thought that it was going to be a bored book but I was wrong. it started to talk about Linda. She was a slave girl, the same with her mother, grandmother and brothers and sisters. Her mother died when she was a little girl and she was living with her mistress. That white woman taught her to read and write. People didn't allow the slave to learn things like this. That's why she felt glad because nobody was able to teach to any slave in those time. It was a secret, Linda didn't say that she knew how to read and write. One day her mistress died too and she thought that her mistress was going to put her in freedom. Because she was a nice person with Linda, besides she felt her like a mother. But the mistress didn't give her freedom. Linda was given to a sister of the mistress. Linda was disappointed, full of feelings. She was bothered. I'll keep reading. thanks.

Reading a book about the life of a slave girl.

I started to read a book about a slave girl. I thought that it was going to be a boring book but I was wrong.

The book began talking about Linda. She was a slave girl like her mother, grandmother, brothers and sisters. Her mother died when she was a little girl and she lived with her mistress. That white woman taught her to read and write. People didn't allow their slaves to learn things like this. That's why Linda felt glad because nobody was able to teach to any slaves in those times. It was a secret, Linda didn't say that she knew how to read and write. One day her mistress died. Linda thought that her mistress was going to free her because she had been nice to Linda and she saw her as a mother. But the mistress didn't give her freedom. Linda was given to a sister of the mistress (one of the mistress' sisters). Linda was disappointed and emotional. She was upset.


I'll keep reading.
Thanks.
