Last time when we had Literacy circle meeting I got to be the Discussion Director. Today I asked questions to my groupmates and they tried to answer them.
1. Why didn't they allow Mattie's grandfather to go through boarder, if he didn't have yellow fever?
He didn't have yellow eyes, but hey were afraid that soon the yellow eyes will appear and it will be too late and didn't let them to go.
2. Who was the woman who take care of Mattie and his grandfather?
The woman, who worked in Bush Hill and helped Mattie, name is Mrs. Flagg.
3.Why did Eliza stayed in the house, if Mattie's mother had yellow fever?
Eliza stayed in house, because it wasn't sure if she will die, so she stayed to care about her. Also that time there was a theory that black people don't get yellow fever.
4. Did anybody show racism to Eliza as being a black person?
Eliza felt there like in her home. In their family they cared about Eliza, as she was like a person from their family. In outside they didn't show racism, too.
5. What was the pet and it's name that Mattie owned?
The pet that Mattie had was a cat, which she like it a lot. It's name was Silas. The cat was clever and was listening to Mattie.
