The interesting  point I found while reading the text was on the bottom half of page 21 when Mary explain that she got sick with Rheumatism. Now I know that she must have been in a lot of pain because the illness affects the joints and causes them to become very painful. She explains that she could not do much work though it was still require of her. It puts it all into perspective, with me being a nursing student and learning about the condition that she is speaking of I am aware that she needed rest especially in the times when she had flare ups of the joints that’s the time she needed to rest. She was not able to do that because of her masters demands and obligations she had to fulfill.

I found this interesting because they put her out into a little old house and though she cried it wasn’t her master that turned to her aid. It’s as if they didn’t cared it she died all they wanted was for her to keep working regardless  the condition she was in. She fought to do her best and even had to speak up for herself about the bad treatment she was receiving. I am inspired by her strength though I never wish that anyone else would ever have to go through anything like this.
