In the reading I found a couple things interesting. During that time period Mary knowing that she was a slave was so normal and to be treated the way she was treated. She loved to be with her first slave owner Mrs. Williams in which her duty was to just take care of the slave owners daughter Miss Betsy. The treatment she received when moving to Mr. I house was harsh, him beating her everyday for 5 years was horrible. Another thing that bothered me was being so young at that age and being separated from her mother and siblings is so heartbreaking. Her father returning her to Mr. I parish after she ran away made me grow a sort of hate towards her father because why would you want to see your daughter endure such pain from someone especially a white man during that time. Also Mary’s experience going to the Caribbean islands and seeing how much worse the environment was really different for her and had me thinking how terrible and satanic white people were to other human beings just because of their skin color.
