I had four important paragraphs that i chose to discus in my group. The first on is on page 131 paragraph 4.
"At home Mrs. Bell was slicing bread and kosher cheese for supper. Molly didn't look at her, because she wouldn't speak to Mrs. Bell since Mrs. Bell had whipped Molly for losing Rachel and for running off and getting lost herself. She hadn't really whipped her but she'd pulled Molly out of the kitchen into the backyard while Mr. Bell and David averted their eyes politely. She'd grabbed a dry , rotten stick off the kindling pile and flailed at Molly, who turned and twisted in her grip and managed to avoid getting hit more than once or twice before the stick finally fell into pieces."
I chose this paragraph because it shows that being a slave for the Bells is not all sunshine and rainbows because Molly was living a good life for a slave. the next paragraph that i chose is on page 151 paragraph 6
"Molly shrugged. What the letter said about her wasn't very nice, but she'd been called worse thinks. "Mr. Mendez paid for me when i was in N--- before i came here," She said fairly. "He paid for my food and my---" She looked at David and decided not to say 'chains' or 'cell' Of course David and decided and everyone else knew she'd been in Newgate, but she didn't fell like talking about it when they were all looking at her. "My keep."
I chose this because we finally learn why Mr. Mandez paid for molly's up keep. The next paragraph i chose was on page 153 paragraph 6
"Christy was alive but only just. Her skin was covered with welts crisscrossed on top of welts and blood running out of the gashes on top. Molly had see people whipped in London, of course but not on their faces like this."
I chose this paragraph because it helped introduced a new character who was abused by their master and i believe that since the Bells are helping the slave it will lead into more conflict between the Bells and the Slaves owner.
Those are the three paragraphs that i chose to share as literary luminary this week.
