Final Slave response
Finally at the end of Incidents in the life of a Slave Girl, Linda gets her freedom, but in a interesting way. Linda finds out that she was sold for $300 and that she was now free and would not be hunted again. Which would make one think,” I am finally free! Nothing can go wrong from here on out!” But instead Linda has some conflicting and mixed up feelings over the matter. The reason why she has these mixed feelings is because she doesn’t know what to do with her life, she is now free, when the only thing she has know was slavery and running away from being enslaved again, what is there to do now that this thing that was ruling her life is now gone? And that is why Linda has some mixed up feeling at the end of the book.

Hey Tony!
Nice blog! I like how you said, "Yay, I'm free! Nothing can go wrong!" However, eventhough she's in the free states, she had to be sold in order to become free. Yeah, I totally agree that this would really upset her. No question about it! Altough, one thing I thought differently was that instead becoming free and not knowing what to do with her life, I thought she had a pretty good idea what she was going to do. Like finding a job, reuniting with her family and so on. Other than that, great blog!
