When reading this portion of the text i noticed growth in titubas personality, she became more cautious about the things she said which i beleive was a result of the tribulations she had to endure throughout her life; after meeting hester,her cell mate, she didn’t readily start discussing her life and what she had gone through, even after hearing about hester’s problems she still didn’t  reveal who she was. She was concious of of the fact that she always made friends too easily in the past ;This is the first time in the book I’ve seen her exercise this caution. Eventually she gave in and her and Hester became great friends. I believe Hester was the type of woman tituba wanted to be; she was a fighter, educated, and also a feminist, these strong characteristics that Hester embodied had a lasting impression on tituba,which is what I think led her to start standing up for herself.
