Isabel’s father is restrained and her mother fainted before “there was lion’s blood on the ground” and “we left there, we three, in Miss Mary’s Finch’s wagon.” Isabel’s father died from fighting being sold and this makes Isabel afraid to be sold again.

The character of Isabel reminds me of myself since she has a little sister that she would do anything for – I also have a little sister that I would take care of as Isabel has taken care of Ruth.Text-to-text connection: A connection between the text and another text you’ve read. Becky is afraid to brew tea because after the Boston Tea Party (textbook) people boycotted tea and if you drank it you were considered loyal to the King.Text-to-world connection: A connection between the text and something that is occurring or has occurred in the world. Many countries fight a revolution for independence – for example, there was a French Revolution and an Iranian Revolution.Reading Assignment 1: Chapters I- III (Pages 3- 22)Plot Summary, Comprehension Questions & ConnectionsChapter I:Answer the following question(s) in complete sentences:Why does the speaker want to speak to ghosts?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Chapter II:Answer the following question(s) in complete sentences:What does Mr. Finch want to do with Isabel and Ruth?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Describe the last time Isabel and Ruth were sold:________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Chapter III:Answer the following question(s) in complete sentences:What is being described in the quote at the start of the chapter?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What state are they in?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What side of the war are Mr. Robert and Mr. Elihu Lockton on?
