1. What did you think about Molly not knowing how to count?
I didn't find it surprising because she lived on the streets all her life.
My group members found it sad but not suprising.
2. What do you think about Mrs. Wilkes' determination to keep stealing.
I think it is a bit stupid because, as Andrea said, she is given shelter, clothes and food but she still want's to keep her ways.
We agreed that Mrs. Wilkes was greedy.
3. What do you think about Christy being beaten?\
Even though Christy is a black slave it doesn't mean her owner has the right to almost kill her.
My group members though that it was cruel and sad but they think it happened a lot. Andrea said that she thinks there was a law about killing your slaves.
4. What do you think about Molly's idea to steal the Torah scroll ends?
I think it is a very bad idea and it will lead her into lots of trouble.
My group members think that it is a very bad idea.
5. What do you think about the fact that there isn't much money in New York?
It is kind of surprising because, as Brandon said, look at New York now. I also thought that because New York was a British colony it would have lots of money from the ships.
My group members think that it is interesting and surprising.
6. What did you think about the end?
I think it stopped to abruptly without a real ending. Maybe 4 sentences hint at what would happen in the next chapter.
My group members would like an epilogue.
