Blog 2 Mary Prince

What was interesting to me in this section Mary Prince seemed to find new strength and self-worth, I don’t know if it was because she was back in her native Bermuda or after the harsh treatment she endured in Turk Island she felt she had paid her dues, and had nothing worst to face. She started to stand up for herself and even others, one day she came home from collecting water and found her master beating his daughter, Mary jumped in and stopped the assault, as a slave that took tremendous courage and strength, she could have paid a heavy price for that action, there was another case where she defended herself from her master beating her and another time refused to bath him, then proceeded to call him out on his indecent ways, she even found a way to rid herself of her master after she decided she couldn’t serve him anymore. All these were sighs of her being an unusual slave, and one who was never satisfied with the status quo of her time.
