Quotes to DiscussDiscuss with your partner & put this on the organizer

• pg. 88

“She must work harder. She must earn all the money to pay for what they owed, so she could gather her family together back on the farm while she still had family left to gather.”


Quotes to Discuss

• pg. 98

“She was too tired now at night to copy out a page of Oliver to paste to her loom. It hardly mattered. When would she have had time to study it?”


Quotes to Discuss

• pg. 113

“She’ll never be strong enough again to work in a mill thirteen, fourteen hours a day. When I’m ready to go myself, she though, maybe I could sign that cussed petition. Not for me. I don’t need it, but for Betsy and the other. It ain’t right for this place to suck the strength of their youth, then cast them off like dry husks to the wind.”
