Mary talks about a fellow slave name Louis. She states how he is very samrt and can read and write very well. Two things had caught my eye when i was reading the towards the end of this novel.

Page 263 , line 4-6  (in the eBook version) Mary says “poor Luis, when he offered the choice of going back to Africa, replied, “Me no father, no mother now; me stay with you.” The stood out to me because why would  want to go back to where he been most of his life. He just really happy about staying out there. ” Me think what a good thing I came England! Here, I know what God is, and read my Bible; in my country they have no God, no bible” he says. This also stood out to me because probably back in Africa he was not aloud to thing or read about God. I think when he was in Africa, they masters must of took them believing in God.
